What Teachers are saying:
"It is an absolute joy to reflect upon Moira’s
learning this past quarter! Reading comprehension has always been strength
but significant improvement is noted in Moira’s decoding and fluency.
She is approaching grade level expectations! What a change since September.
Her writing has improved, also. Her writing is very well organized and
her main ideas are well developed with supporting details. She always
included an introduction and a closing. Her spelling remains a weakness,
however, improvement has been noted in this area also, especially in her
consistent correct use of many vowel conventions. I am very happy for
Moira and hope her progress continues.
I am so thankful to have had Moira in my class this year. Never in my
26 years of teaching have I witnessed so much progress in so little time.
Moira’s motivation and determination is a power in and of itself!
I am so happy for Moira’s success, she defines the joy of teaching!
Have a wonderful summer. I will miss Moira immensely! Good luck in grade
4!"

“I’ve noticed dramatic improvements in my students’
ability to attack unknown words with various strategies. The open communication
with my student’s tutor and her willingness to share strategies
was also very helpful in furthering my students’ progress.”

What Parents are saying:
"All parents want to help their children succeed in
school. The world continues to get more competitive and a solid education
gives our children an opportunity to compete in this environment. When
we were told our daughter had learning differences, we knew we needed
to find her extra help. We were overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn
for these resources.
Delta Consultants referred us to Lisa Bigney at RI Tutorial. She thoroughly
reviewed our daughter’s lengthy report detailing her learning differences.
She created an individual lesson plan, consulting with her teachers, to
ensure she was getting exactly what she needed. That was 3 years ago and
Lisa has not lost her diligence giving Caroline the best she has to offer.
Lisa has become an integral part of helping us manage our daughter Caroline’s
educational path. Lisa continually interfaces with each of Caroline’s
teachers, reviewing their lesson plans and identifying where difficulty
will lie for Caroline. She then tailors a specific lesson plan targeting
those areas of difficulty.
Lisa has been incredibly flexible with scheduling Caroline’s tutoring
sessions. She always makes sure she is maximizing their time together.
Lisa’s follow up is excellent.
One of the most valuable assets of being at RI Tutorial is the resources
Lisa has at her finger tips. She is well connected in the education field
and uses those connections to make sure my daughter is getting the best
for our money. We get more than just a tutor. We get a plethora of resources
and services for anything our daughter needs.
Lisa takes a personal interest in all aspects of our daughter’s
education. Caroline enjoys her time with Lisa and they have formed a tight
bond. Caroline tells us Lisa makes learning fun! Isn’t that what
it is all about? I know my money is well spent at RI Tutorial because
Caroline’s love of school is evident. Caroline consistently makes
the honor roll despite her learning difference!"

"My son Alex and I had a great experience at RITES
this summer. Everyone we worked with was pleasant, friendly, patient and
very helpful. The hours for tutoring were very convenient for our summer
schedule. Alex was able to enjoy swim and tennis lessons early in the
day, and he had his tutoring later in the afternoon. He was given the
right amount of homework between sessions to keep him thinking and learning.
His summer was mixed with fun and learning, he enjoyed and looked forward
to his next visit with RITES.
I am so thankful that we found out about RITES.
I am very impressed with all the staff, and I would certainly use RITES
in the future. I would highly recommend them to family and friends."

Summer Algebra course
"I liked this course because
there were only a few kids. The teacher got to thoroughly help each of
us. I am glad that I learned the foil method and distributive property,
because I think that hose methods will be helpful next year. Thanks."

"This summer math class, helped me to improve
on math topics that I hadn't done very well in in school.) It was also
a small class which was easier to learn in and not feel like you were
falling behind. The teacher and the class were helpful."

Study and Organizational Summer Class
"This class was helpful. I actually picked up some
new tactics to help me stay organized throughout the year with short and
long term projects. Certain systems, such as the tilter see-through paper
holder system will help. I also think with some the workbook exercises,
I will be able to plan out long term projects better. "

me in the future."

"This class helped me out. This class helped me work
on taking better notes and gave me tips on how to be more organized. It
helped me improve my test taking strategies. What learned will help me
out this year at school."
