The Right Approach

I sent my son Marcas the The Right Approach for tutoring at the beginning of last year (third grade). We simultaneously started the process of having him tested for dyslexia. Even though we didn’t have the diagnosis for a couple of months, Kara was amazing with Marcas. His writing and reading improved regardless with her tuition. She was very patient and kind and made Marcas feel good about his work.
I also sent my daughter to The Right Approach for test prep for the John Hopkins CTY Search. They were terrific in laying out the process for taking the exams and they addressed exam technique as well as sample questions.
A bonus — they have a table complete with healthy snacks and water for the kids. My son loves this. I love The Right Approach.

Our 12 y.o. son was falling way behind in his writing for 6^th grade, even writing a simple focused paragraph was a challenge.
He began working with Jamie C. at The Right Approach. Jamie accurately assessed our sons, strengths and weaknesses and managed to find out ways to motivate, push and improve himself independently. Within a very short amount of time our son made huge strides. By the end of the semester he was able to complete an entire writing project from start to end, from outline to publishing, entirely on his own.
We have been absolutely thrilled with our TRA experience and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone and everyone we meet.

My son (10 years old/​5^th grade), who has been diagnosed with ADHD and who has struggled in school for years, has been greatly helped at TRA. He started seeing Jamie last Spring. She been helpful with his self confidence and organization in addition to giving him practical help with his school work. She worked with him over the summer as well, which really helped him not be left behind as school started in the fall. She is patient, calm but enthusiastic, and positive. My son enjoys his time there.
My daughter is a good student but we wanted to strengthen some of her math and organization skills as well as keep her reading over the summer. Her summer sessions with Anne were super helpful.
Whenever I am in their office dropping off or picking up, I always seem to observe positive interactions between other students and tutors there. The emphasis seems to be on positive self image and developing concrete strategies for improving whatever areas need improvement.

Jamie and Anne know how to read kids and how to motivate them so if you have a child that wants to learn but just can’t do it on there own they can really help and no kid is the same and they know how to reach them

We sent our 17 year old to The Right Approach to help her prepare for her first official SAT test this year. She had taken the PSAT and a practice SAT and she was not happy with her scores and needed some help with strategies to finish all the sections before the time was up.
We searched locally and checked out several different options, but when we met with the team at The Right Approach, we immediately felt like they were the best ones for us. They worked well with our schedule and our daughter could attend two sessions a week for about two months right up to the SAT. They also offered a practice test and regular assessments along the way that helped to show progress.
The Right Approach really helped and after taking the official SAT, our daughter commented that the strategies she learned allowed her to answer a lot more questions with confidence as well as writing one of her best essays yet on the written portion.
We give The Right Approach two thumbs up.
