Dana is an unbelievable tutor and support. She’s so attentive, creative and mindful of my son’s learning challenges. I would highly recommend her. The sessions are filled with educational games, tools and instruction. My son has been seeing Dana for a few years, through the summers too. She’s excellent.

Thank you Dana! I would say today was a tremendous success – both kids are beaming and as excited about working with you as I could have ever hoped for. Our kids’ level of excitement for learning is through the roof right now.
-2nd & 5th Grade Parent
Dana is incredibly effective in understanding the best way to engage individual students. Her competence in helping them develop skills is amazing, and the kids love her! I have also found her to be an invaluable guide in our efforts to navigate the confusion of our public education system.
-1st, 5th & 6th Grade Parent
Dana is amazing. My daughter was struggling with math, Dana has built on her strengths. Dana takes time to help her break everything down, shows her how much she does know and builds her confidence. My daughter leaves each session feeling like a genius.
-4th & 6th Grade Parent
Wow! Where do I begin? My daughter tested into a selective enrollment public school in Chicago. After year one, we found that she was behind her peers in reading comprehension, among other things. With the realization that we might have to move schools, we worked weekly with Ms. Dana. She is a gift! Not only did she make sure my daughter was competent in all her required material, she elevated her to a new level! All while making learning a fun and enjoyable atmosphere! We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to visit with Ms. Dana again for any future issues. t2t is truly a hidden gem for children who want/need to learn.

I can’t thank you enough. Your reports each week bring me to tears. I am so grateful for the positive experience you are helping my son to have in school and your help in his overall academic growth is incredible. Thank you so much!!!!
-Kindergarten Parent
Thank you for all you are doing with my son, and for the way you make him feel, which is proud of himself. I see him approaching math, and other academics, in a more open and enthusiastic way since he has been working with you.
-4th Grade Parent
Dana is amazing! She makes learning fun for my son. We have seen great improvements in his writing and ability to organize his thoughts this year. My son arrives and leaves each session happy! Thank you Dana!
-5th Grade Parent
Dana is fantastic. Not only is she a great tutor that knows how to work with and adapt to different learning styles, she also is sweet and makes learning fun. My daughter has developed a good relationship with Dana and enjoys working with her. I recommend her highly.
-8th Grade Parent
I love your approach. I am calling it “educational therapy” because you seem to be tackling the psychological processes involved in learning – so novel to someone who has only been exposed to the very basic and by-the-book approach used by my daughter’s teachers thus far. So glad we found you!
-3rd Grade Parent
Thank you so much for working so hard to help my daughter be successful. She really enjoys coming to t2t each week. I don’t think she would be as successful as she has been without you. Your program really helps her thrive! I’m very proud of her accomplishments this year and I believe she has learned valuable lifelong skills. I’m definitely looking forward to next year with t2t.
-6th Grade Parent
Learning was fun and Dana took her time to explain things to help me understand. She also wasn’t afraid to challenge me!
-5th Grade Student
You are amazing at what you do! So grateful my son had the chance to work with you. He really enjoyed it!
–1st Grade Parent
Just wanted to let you know that my son really enjoyed your session yesterday, despite his initial protest. I’m thrilled he was so enthusiastic about it!
-7th Grade Parent
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve never seen my son so enthusiastic about learning! He said he felt so much better after your session, and seemed visibly less stressed. Whatever you did with him gave him a lot of confidence and he’s continuing to study these ideas and talk them through with me this morning. So fun to see that light bulb go off!
-3rd Grade Parent
My son is so happy with the writing work he accomplished with you today. Writing assignments are anxiety-producing for him, and he finds it hard to have my husband or me help him with these assignments. He is so receptive to your feedback and help… It was great to hear him talk about all the skills he worked on during today’s session. He never really learned how to write an essay in elementary school, so he is learning as he goes now. He has commented several times tonight on how helpful you are to him… Thank you thank you!!
-6th grade Parent
My daughter loved her session with you today! She said you’re “the sweetest person ever.” Wish she could have a classroom teacher like you 🙂
-4th Grade Parent
My daughter walked out sooooooooo excited. She loves you and this! Asked if she can go every day 🙂
-5th Grade Parent
I am SO grateful that you’re working with my son. I think it is just what he needs 🙂 Thank you! You have such a gift for teaching and connecting with these kids!
-3rd Grade Parent
My original goal for my daughter was to improve confidence and a positive attitude, and after working with you, this year has started up 100% better.
-5th Grade Parent
Amazing… my son came home today so jazzed about the work you did together. And then miracle of miracles, he ran and got a new book off his shelf to start reading before dinner. He has not read for pleasure in AGES. I think working with you today got his brain whirring, and that just felt so good and energizing.
-3rd Grade Parent
Dana’s knowledge and experience helped my daughter to get missing parts very quickly. I appreciate her support. Thank you!
-8th Grade Parent
Sounds like you had a great session. My son really seems to enjoy his time with you. I wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job making him feel good about himself, which is so important.
-2nd Grade Parent
I left our meeting yesterday with some faith restored in the profession of teaching, and confidence that we had done the right thing in advocating for my daughter. Yesterday, when she came out of school crying because she found out she has a hard teacher next year, I told her about you and a big smile spread across her face. I think she is thrilled to have the one-to-one attention of a teacher.
-3rd Grade Parent
My son was SO proud of his work with you yesterday! Thank you for that amazing session; so fun to see the wheels spinning.
-3rd Grade Parent
I am so happy with my daughter’s progress with you! You are everything we ever needed in a tutor and more! Thank you!
-4th Grade Parent
Thank you so much for helping my son with Spanish. He was so excited after his session with you! You gave him the confidence he needs to tackle Spanish!
-7th Grade Parent
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help with our daughter. She took the winter MAP test this week and showed awesome improvement. While we don’t know percentiles yet, her scores seem amazing. Still more work to do, but we are very happy!!!
-4th Grade Parent
I am so proud of my son; the progress he has made over the past year has been amazing. Thank you for all of your support with him!
-3rd Grade Parent
I’m still trying to pick up my jaw from the floor. My son read some Dr. Seuss books tonight, and he did an unbelievable job. I’m just astounded at how well he can read. I wanted to cry. Job well done.
-1st Grade Parent
I think you had a fabulous idea about how to help my daughter with math. She got in the car and immediately told me about it. I LOVE how this will help her with public speaking as well! We appreciate all that you have done for her both academically and personally.
-8th Grade Parent
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response, it really is so helpful! We will definitely continue having you work with my son. He adores you and has learned so much in such a short time!
-preK Parent
My son left the session sounding so enthusiastic and confident. He really enjoyed working with you. When he feels confident and connected, his whole outlook and his motivation to work hard improve so much. I think this is going to be a great opportunity for him. Thanks again!
-5th Grade Parent
I am happy to report that my son has really assumed ownership and responsibility for his homework. I have so far been very impressed with his commitment to completing his daily tasks. Perhaps our plan is working!
-8th Grade Parent
My son really enjoys his sessions and finds them so helpful. You are wonderful!
-5th Grade Parent
I am so glad my son is working with you. He seems to be making significant progress, and I am very excited about the progress I am seeing with you and from his hard work at school. His general attitude is happy and he is gaining more confidence.
-Kindergarten Parent
You are such a fantastic advocate and source of encouragement for my son. How great is it that he has a teacher outside of school to provide consistent support and connection?! I am so grateful that he is working with you!
