“My dyslexia is a gift–it is the reason that I teach the way I teach.”

Thank you for helping me with my dyslexia and my fear of writing. I owe a lot to you. I’m 250% more confident with my writing and spelling than ever before. Thank you so much.

It always seemed like he would be making great progress but then at times like we were back to square one.
