Tutor Makes Learning a Fun, Successful Experience
As a retired Special Education teacher, I have worked with students of all ages and abilities. I am an expert at breaking tasks down into small, attainable steps, instructing the student on how to master each step, and then practicing the entire task. My students achieved a high level of success with this approach.
I have had experience using the Wilson Reading Program, which is a phonics-based way of learning to read and spell. First the students learn to distinguish the sounds contain…

Testimonials
STEPHEN H. from Albany, NY After years of struggling with dyslexia and dysgraphia, I finally took the action to get some professional help and I am so glad that I did. Although I am 34 years old and have managed to navigate fairly well through life and work, my lack of reading and writing skills have created fears in me that I am now realizing are not real at all. Thanks to finding a great tutor and coach in Hillary, I am embracing my disabilities and learning to work with them rather than against them... I highly recommend Hillary as a tutor, whether you are an adult looking for personal help or a parent looking to help your child, she is an excellent choice!
Jeannette J. from Albany, NY Hilary have been working with my ADHD daughter for some time now and she knows how to get her to engage in the subject. She is patient, caring and very responsible. My daughter has come a long way.
Sharon B. from Waterford, NY Hilary is knowledgeable in the Wilson program, but is very rigid in her teaching style. Her inability to adapt her teaching style to the needs of the student is a major disadvantage and hinders the learning process. She is a skilled tutor, however her teaching style is better suited for older children and adults.
Jacqueline P. from Schenectady, NY Hilary knows exactly what to do for a young reader who needs to master word attack skills. She paces instruction according to my child's needs and is clear about what areas are best to target.
Claire B. from Clifton Park, NY In his first hour with Hilary my son accomplished more on this writing project then he did on his own in the past 2 weeks. I know Hilary wanted to get more done in the lesson, but she got a lot more done then she realized. My son was able to go home and actually start writing his draft with what they did in the lesson. Thank you!!!
Amy B. from Mechanicville, NY We couldn't have asked for a better tutor than Hilary! She is so patient with our daughter, and it shows. Our daughter seems happier already in school this year. Hilary is wonderful.
