What Parents Are Saying
One:One READING & WRITING
"Since the start, Mary Jo has been an excellent tutor for our son (8), who was behind in reading & writing after the pandemic school era.
Mary Jo’s approach has been to warmly wrap around the fullness of our son. She’s supportive, encouraging & fun with him while also pushing him to do better each day. Not only is he improving academically, but he's also more confident & proud of his skills now — he feels safe with her and she is teaching him that he can be successful at things he tries at. We full-heartedly recommend Mary Jo to anyone."

We really enjoyed Ms. AbiNader's presence in our home as a family. We believe she brought great concepts to teach so my child learned well, better than other platforms we have used. My child developed such a joy for her subject matter, it was picked up in free time to continue (instead of begging for tv time!!). My other child learned her songs by osmosis and we, as parents enjoyed hearing these songs when the children chose to sing (car rides, etc) over some mainstream/annoying songs that are more typical or popular with kids.
I can't be thankful enough for our time with Ms. AbiNader.

"Mary Jo is exactly what my child needs. She is able to meet him just where he is (which changes day to day), motivates him to learn and grow, provides him with so many different ways of learning and different activities to keep him engaged. Her energy is amazing and she is obviously doing this because she cares about children and is excited herself to see them learn and improve. We are so lucky to have her helping our son."

"Mary Jo is such a remarkable human being that I try to get my girls around her as much as possible. There is a richness and a wiseness that you don’t come across as often anymore. One of my favorite things about her is her natural gift to come up with an idea and then bring that idea into reality. She is always creating and manifesting. When she works with my girls, I know they are growing physically, intellectually, emotionally, artistically and even spiritually. Thank you Mary Jo for all you have brought to our family!"
