“Paula Pelletier is a superb tutor for students with learning differences. Extensive training, resourcefulness, energy, patience, tact, quick- wittedness, empathy and a terrific sense of humor are only some of the gifts she brings to her work.
She is also, and perhaps most importantly, deeply passionate about giving her students the tools they need in order to learn, to feel good about themselves as learners, and ultimately to become their own advocates. Our son immediately sensed and responded to Paula’s genuine commitment to his needs and sensitivity to his experiences.  When his “response” took the form of resistance (a familiar pattern for him, as for so many kids with LD), Paula stayed in the ring with him, never losing her perspective, never taking the friction personally, and working directly with his teachers to move forward on his behalf even when he was at his most difficult. In the end, he has come to treat her with real affection.
     I once told Paula that my husband and I felt about her as we imagined the Keller’s did when they hired Annie Sullivan. We laughed, but it wasn’t far from the truth. It is a pleasure to recommend her.”

“From the moment we met Paula we knew she was a good fit for our son.  Her background in education and counseling, her understanding of the school systems and her own experience as a mother makes all the difference in her approach.  

    Our son has a lot of emotional distress and it leads to a lot of difficulty accepting constructive criticism and stubbornness off the charts. Paula works very well with him and knows how to balance his educational and emotional intricacies.  We’re grateful for her patience and her never-ceasing desire to be flexible and attentive to our son’s needs and necessities.”
