• Smart Start has a very good program. I liked the way it was set up. They were very friendly and made my son feel comfortable. Karen was very good with him and worked with him in ways to adapt the lessons to what he needed in order to learn and to his needs. She also worked to help him learn to sit still. I am very happy with the program and would definitely use Smart Start again next year. -Robinson Family

• "My son Tyre struggled very much toward the end of the school in 1st grade. My mother and myself gathered information on Smart Start Tutoring, [and learned] that it helps children of all ages in many different areas of their education. Tyre has been at Smart Start Tutoring for 3 months and LOVES to go. His tutor Sue is extremely OUTSTANDING. She has helped Tyre tremendously in reading and math. SHE DEFINITELY IS A FAVORITE TO US. On the other hand, Tyre was in the process of being retained in 1st grade. Now, as a parent that is basically what no one wants to hear. I felt in the beginning of the school year [that] Tyre had a little trouble with reading, but not that bad. I had discussed my situation with Mrs. Stacey Ellis and Sue and I couldn't believe what they were trying to do. These 2 women are a golden ticket sent from GOD because they went out of their way and took the necessary steps to prove that Tyre was to be promoted. They did extra testing on Tyre and even helped out with anything that was needed showing no signs of weakness. In the end, Tyre is going on to 2nd grade this year because we proved that he is an excellent child who knows how to read, do math, and was only put into that situation due to opinions. It is very hard now to find honest, trustworthy, and willing people to work with your organizations today. Smart Start Tutoring is an excellent foundation with an environment of people who care for you and will always take that next step with any child and do what is needed to be SUCCESSFUL." -parent of a 1st grade student
