Creative Tutors of Plano

Success Story

My daughter has many learning challenges, below average IQ, ADD, sensory integration dysfunction, spatial deficit, and severe language processing deficit. She started tutoring with Creative Tutors when she was in first grade. She has had one hour of one-on-one, in home reading/language arts tutoring and one hour of math tutoring each week, including during the summer. When she started middle school the recommendation was for her to be put in all special education classes. This was unacceptable to me, but with Creative Tutors support in the ARD, we were able to convince the school that we should expect her to succeed and not assume that she will fail and thus she was included in all general education classes. My daughter is now in 8th grade, an average student with a GREAT work ethic and awesome study and organization skills due to Creative Tutors, but, more importantly, she just received notice that she passed the 8th grade reading TAKS! Could she have done it without Creative Tutors one-on-one tutoring? ABSOLUTELY NOT! A heartfelt thanks to Creative Tutors and the tutors that empowered my daughter to excel!
