 Difficulty learning to read, write, and spell  is a dark abyss
Falling, falling, falling further behind
Until….
Ms. Mary, a tutor,  helps, helps, helps me understand reading and writing.
Opening my eyes to read words I never, never, never thought I could read
I am like a flower blooming in sunshine
Growing and reaching confidence in high school

I cannot say enough about Mrs. McCool Berry. She is one of the most dedicated, passionate, and knowledgeable educators I have enjoyed working with.

My daughter, now in fourth grade, has struggled in school in multiple areas since kindergarten. She has difficulty decoding sounds and blending them into words and often skips words or reverses letters. These challenges impacted her ability to achieve reading, spelling, and math at grade level.

While her teachers were doing the best they could for her, it was obvious that she needed a more personalized and supportive approach. 

Within a few short months of working with Mrs. McCool Berry, my daughter’s academic performance and confidence had improved significantly. She is no longer surviving in the school environment but is finally thriving. Mrs. McCool Berry was a remarkable resource and advocate for my daughter when working with the school district to obtain an IEP.

Our journey with Mary began when she volunteered to help out some of the children at our son’s school.  For one semester, Mary met with 4-5 kids almost daily. 

She continued with this group for free over the summer, but because of timing issues, eventually, we broke off into private lessons.  There are no words to describe the changes we have seen in our son, not only in his reading, which has dramatically improved, but in his overall person.  He is confident and way less angry; he likes school, reads signs as we drive by, and even asks for several books for Christmas. And let me repeat - he likes school!!! 

Working with Mary has changed our son’s life.  We are forever grateful for her excellent instruction, which includes reports after each lesson and regular communication, but more importantly, for her dedication, commitment, and love that she pours into each child.

Mary is strong-willed and fights for children above and beyond the law. She gets children the education they deserve.

Mary is highly professional and has a kind, gentle manner, which helps families understand their rights and school personnel understand the law and provide children with all the educational support services they deserve!

We are so thankful that Mary is working with our daughter. She is helping us tremendously and taking our daughter to the next level. We appreciate her patience, care, and skill. Thanks so much Mary!

Mary's expertise as a reading specialist, particularly in dyslexia, has made a remarkable difference in our daughter's confidence and growth.

Thanks to her caring approach and tailored strategies, our daughter has gone from being shy and reluctant to answer questions to actively participating and eagerly embracing new learning challenges.

In addition to her work with our daughter, Mary has educated us as parents on advocating for our child's needs, giving us the tools and knowledge to support her at home.

We are beyond grateful for Mary's positive impact on our child's development and for helping us navigate her learning journey.

Mary McCool-Berry has been invaluable to our family. She has guided my sons through the 12-step Wilson Reading System with unmatched patience and grace.

Her expertise was also essential in navigating the IEP process, ensuring we could effectively advocate for the best support for our kids. Thanks to her unwavering dedication, my oldest son has completed all 12 steps in under four years and confidently manages 7th grade independently. We truly would be lost without her care and support.

Our son Nathan was not a fan of reading before Mrs. Mary. That all changed once he started taking lessons with her. He would remind us when he had a session and be excited about it. Mrs. Mary has also been an excellent resource for us as parents. She's a blessing to all of us.
