"Nancy Ball has been a godsend to our family. Our son has, in a short period of time, made impressive and significant gains in reading and spelling. This is due to Nancy's incredible ability to customize lessons for our son, and to get him to work hard to acquire critical skills. Nancy is extremely warm, and has a wonderful way with children that has been honed over the decades she spent teaching reading. She also is firm, and expects a lot from the kids. Our son went from struggling with reading to asking us if he can have a little more time to finish a chapter at bedtime. Nancy also has done a terrific job communicating with us and our son's teachers about his progress. She clearly cares enormously about the kids and has a true passion for teaching. We feel so lucky we were referred to her, and that she had an open spot for our son."

"You have been such a wonderful supporter of Mary* and it is amazing the improvements she has made over the past two years. We cannot say enough about how much we appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to Mary*... Thank you so much for being such a wonderful tutor!"

"Nancy Ball is an excellent tutor. My daughter struggled with basic reading skills well into the third grade. And her writing was atrocious, with reversals and challenges in even phonetic spellings. But with Nancy's help, she overcame all of these issues. It took time, but within a year my daughter had become an avid reader and now her scores are near the top of the charts. Thanks for your help, Nancy!"

"Nancy is a wonderful tutor. Her skill set exceeded my expectations as my son was reading beyond his grade level by the end of tutoring due to her diligence, expertise and ability to build a strong and positive relationship with my son. . . . . We will be forever grateful . . . . [after three months and at a new school] John's* confidence continues to grow. He reads daily and was recently placed in advanced reading. We can’t thank Nancy enough for her efforts. The first person he wanted to tell after us was Miss Nancy."
