We are so appreciative of all of the work you have done with C. He certainly would not have been as successful as he was in high school without your help. And it allowed us to be parents and not "homework chasers”.

Thanks so much for all the help you have given M. over the last few years. You have done an exceptional job and been an amazing advocate for him.

...With Thanksgiving coming up, I wanted to express how grateful I am for every skill and lesson you instilled in me. It goes without saying that I would not be where I am today without it! This past May, I graduated...with a B.A. in Psychology and Political Science... Academically, I was able to complete two research studies and more papers than I ever wish to write again. Thankfully, I still had the writing binder you gave to me!

As my first semester of college comes to an end I wanted to let you know that I have been thriving here. Most notably, I received a B on my 10-page research paper, a 91 on a political science mid term, and a 100 on a mid term for my CORE class. I have also been able to stay on top of all my reading, notes and general homework and using many of the strategies you taught me, especially the “Same Day Review”.

With many hours of learning study and test-taking strategies from Susan Taber..., I PASSED the National Nursing Exam. Not only did I pass the exam on the first try (which many students do not), but I passed with flying colors! I used every single strategy that Susan taught me and am absolutely positive that, without this help..., I would not have been successful.
- Nursing school graduate
-----------------------------------------------------
Thanks again for our meeting last night and for all that you have been doing for M. over these past two years. You are truly one of the most important people in her life, and you have made such a difference for her. I am so grateful.
- Parent of high school senior
-----------------------------------------------------
I appreciate you and your coaching more than just about anything in my high school career. You helped me develop into a better organizer, a much better editor, and an improved time manager. People always talk about whether or not they have an impact in the world --- the work you do changes lives.

I just wanted to…let you know how things are going with me... I absolutely love Marist [College] …my classes are…a little difficult, but definitely manageable. I've been using all of our old strategies and it has been helping so much. Midterms were last week, and I ended up with [two A’s, a B+, and two B’s]. I was very proud of myself and so were my parents!
