me. We are very pleased with the response to Readak. Caitlin has been
absolutely delightful and it will be sad to see her go. She has fitted in
so well and it has been wonderful having her. She is so professional. The
30 parents who turned up for the info session last night were very keen to
have Readak back. It’s a great program and well worth having.”

willing to assist any teacher in any faculty when the need arose.”

“The Readak class was a
great success as more than 40 of our students participate . . . Altruism
motivates Ms. Perry to achieve and in doing so her students rise to levels
even they didn’t think they could reach. She embodies the essence of
teaching as a professional. She is able to assist marginal students so that
their learning weaknesses can become strengths. Ms. Perry also challenged
our top students to reach even greater heights with an enrichment program
that yielded fabulous results.”

Headmaster/Academic Dean, St.
Mary’s Preparatory, Orchard Lake, MI
“They are certainly energetic and passionate about teaching and have fit
well with the community.”
Tarek Razik, Principal – Shanghai American School, Shanghai, PRC
“Just a quick note to
let you know how much we enjoyed the Readak program. My three daughters
attended the program. In addition, I “audited” the Saturday class so I
could help reinforce the Readak suggestions at home. I’ve noticed a
distinct improvement in their general attitude toward homework. They settle
down to work more quickly and stay with the task at hand for a longer period
of time. The class seems to have given them a “roadmap” to follow so they
are not as easily frustrated with material they find difficult.”
-Parent email to Head of Middle School, All Saints’ Episcopal Day
School, Phoenix, AZ
“We have had a very positive response from Parents and students
regarding both Angie and the course. The enrolment was greater than
expected and I have received no negative feedback from students who attended
the course. As you would acknowledge these students are the converted and
will gain much from this type of instruction . . . Angie was brilliant!
She fit in well with the community, was extremely obliging (more than I
would be!) She was kept busy ALL the time. One parent who came in early
one morning asked if she could take Angie home with her.”
Denise McDonough, Head of Senior College
– Central Coast Grammar School, Erina Heights NSW
“Readak was a wonderful
experience for our students and has provided them some important tools for

successful Readak program. Your evaluations reflect exactly what I heard as
well that the program this year was well received. Angela was an excellent

was in a number of regular classrooms teaching some of the skills offered in
the full Readak program. I look forward to working with you in two years.”
