“My daughter was diagnosed with dyscalculia in 3rd grade and really loved Vicki’s fun approach with games and exercises, and also greatly appreciated being able to go over homework and tests. Vicki had a great way of connecting with her and helping her understand the material. Over time, it became clear that she was no longer burdened with shame and embarrassment about her performance in math, and instead found confidence in the fact that she was able to use her hour with Vicki to get any questions she had answered.  This was a great peace of mind to her. My daughter is now a freshman in high school, and doing well in math.” – P

“Vicki made me feel that math was very doable and fun. I loved how she used fun things to do math with and not just a pencil and paper. She provided me with important reminders every time so that I could establish good math habits. She always gave me practice work for home and I looked forward to doing my practice work and getting to choose a fun eraser or other useful reward when I brought it back to Vicki completed. Most important, Vicki made me feel so good about my math self, that I could do any kind of math eventually. She gave me the gift of math confidence.” – 5th grade student

Our daughter met with Vicki on a regular basis.  Vicki used math as her medium, but what our daughter actually came out learning was about herself and what she needed in order to learn – whether it was math or another subject.  She learned a giant toolbox of tools to help her succeed in life regardless, especially with math.  I as a parent learned was the key to having a successful, happy child, is really understanding what your child’s brain needs to learn and thrive.  Vicki was always a master at showing me that. She just did it through the lens of math. From helping me understand my daughter, to giving me different words to use in a situation, to books to read, resources to use, or just some good old mom advice.  Vicki loves getting to know children, helping them where they are, and helping them move forward.  She does it in an amazing way with math as the vehicle for learning. – Tara Miller

“Parents are not teachers! We really needed outside help. My kid was really struggling. I spoke with a number of different tutors and Vicki was just magic the moment I first spoke with her. You can tell she understands kids and how different brains work. She is truly gifted in teaching kids who are neurodivergent or just learn differently. She makes math fun with games. But I think what truly sets her apart is the way she connected with my kid.  Math started to get easier for him. He no longer needed to get pull-out support in school. But mostly I knew because he told me! He was able to say that the math wasn’t as challenging for him. He was able to finish tests and do well in them.” – K

“I don’t know who is more excited about our upcoming session, but she is even taking a nap for you so she will have a fresh brain…” –Kindergartener’s Dad

“My gifted, 2e son with autism and ADHD was reluctant to get help and after a few sessions with Vicki he was eager to go every week! He doesn’t love math but he loves being with Vicki! And he can show his competence in math and even says that now he can do it.” – L

“Vicki is an amazing resource. She took the time to really understand our daughter’s profile and, given her breadth of experience, already had tried and true methods to help our daughter understand concepts she was struggling with at school. Our 11-year-old feels far more confident with her math skills and actually looks forward to time with her math tutor! We are so grateful to Vicki for her warmth, expertise, patience, and willingness to always go the extra mile to support our kiddo. Can’t recommend Vicki more highly.” – K 

Our children were easily frustrated with the math concepts assigned in school and needed one one-on-one coaching and tutoring to better understand these concepts. They really benefited from the different math games and visualization strategies that Vicki employed to help them understand math fundamentals. Our kids would get so frustrated that they didn’t even want our help with math assignments! Our children responded well to the fresh approach that Vicki offered. She made math both visual and fun and took the stress away from math assignments by showing us and our children that math is doable and actually enjoyable.-S
