Confidence, rebuilt

Lori is fantastic! She made my child feel comfortable each session by developing a great rapport. We used her for Orton Gillingham intervention, and the experience positively impacted both me and my child. I know if we need further help, Lori will be there for us!

Mrs. Mikulka has a special ability to meet children where they are, build their confidence, and explain things in a way that finally clicks. If you are looking for an excellent reading specialist or tutor who truly cares about helping children learn, grow, and become more confident, she is someone I would recommend without hesitation.

Our daughter and son both learned so much from Mrs. M, and the fact that they are both reading above average for their grade level is due to the teaching we received. The different approach is very engaging and easy for the kids to implement.

My daughter is in kindergarten and we came for extra help with reading. The progress has been huge. We have watched her reading skills improve, and we have also seen her confidence grow, and as a parent that means everything. Five stars doesn't feel like enough.

When Ahni first started, reading was a challenge, but through Mrs. Mikulka's patience, encouragement, and dedication, everything changed. Today, Ahni has gone from struggling to read to reading fluently and confidently, above and beyond grade-level expectations.

Summer went from reading very few words to reading on grade level, and from barely speaking to communicating with confidence. From the very beginning, Lori made her feel safe and supported. For a child with selective mutism, that kind of trust is priceless.

Addie was struggling with reading and needed extra reinforcement. Lori didn't just help her move forward, she grew significantly in a matter of 6 months. She's no longer intimidated by reading; she has confidence!

Mrs. M was a great support for our son. He started 1st grade with a very low reading level, and with her patience and insightful techniques he blossomed. He now enjoys reading and turns to books for fun rather than as a chore. We're so grateful!

Ahni loves you so much. You are a wonderful teacher, and she has learned so much from you. We are grateful to have you in our life.
