Testimonials

I started my son, Wyatt with Northern Lights Learning Center in May of 2005. He was reading at a Kindergarten level and he was just about to finish Grade 2 in school. I can’t thank Linda enough for what she did for my son. The tutoring didn’t just help him academically; it helped him have way confidence in life…

My daughter Alex went to Linda with a grade 3 reading level and after only 1 year was at or near at a grade 10 level where she should be. Linda has done a great job in helping and teaching Alex the great benefits of enjoying a good book. I myself was very impressed with the skills and commitment Linda gives to her students. If you are thinking of having Linda tutor your child I am certain you would not be disappointed…

John S.

Justin was never very interested in homework or school but going to Mrs. Scharf’s was more like a treat; she has the ability to hold his interest and keep him focused. He has become much more confident; all his classes have improved tremendously.
