But also know that you will be in the expert hands of Katherine Pegman, an instructor whose support of any trainee’s honest effort is both inspiring and unwavering. Finally, know that our Center has a waiting list of children who are struggling, right now, to learn how to read. I can’t even describe the look that comes over their faces when reading really starts to “click.” You’ll just have to come, train, and see for yourself.”
-Monica C., Tutor
