I teach reading, writing, spelling (OG). I've been teaching for almost ten years and am impressed with the rapport tutors establish with their students. The co-partners are devoted to their work, and their enthusiasm radiates outward, affecting teachers and students around them. I give this organization an A+. Kathleen Cooper

My son has dyslexia and attended the RITES summer program and has been receiving instruction from a RITES tutor for nearly 2 years. He has made remarkable progress and were it not for RITES and the support he has received, he would not be the confident learner that he is today. His tutor is Orton-Gillingham trained and modifies the curriculum to suit his academic needs. Halley and Lisa are always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have as a parent. They offer suggestions and lend a listening ear when the weight of having a child with a learning disability gets to be overwhelming. RITES provides free parent educational seminars/workshops which is a tremendous resource when one is trying to navigate the world of evaluations,IEP's, 504's,etc. I cannot say enough about the level of knowledge and professionalism that is at the heart of RITES program.- Mary Beth Berube, North Attleboro, MA

RITES is an amazing service with well qualified tutors. My child got so much out of her sessions and the tutors were not only great teachers but they really cared about my child.

RITES goes above and beyond expectations with all children, all of the time. I have referred students to their programs always with amazing results. they truly understand dyslexia and other language-based learning challenges set within the child development context. Their staff is a top notch group who never seems to forget that the child is at the center of everything. 5 Stars is not a high enough rating for this organization.

Staff was supportive of parents and gave our son a great foundation of OG skills while restoring his confidence as a child newly diagnosed with a learning difference.

As a professional in the field, I continue to be impressed with the caliber and commitment of the RITES staff. From the moment I started working for the RITES program as a tutor, Halley and Lisa have made themselves available to brainstorm with tutors and construct plans to best fit the students' needs. Opportunities are made available to us to update our skills and knowledge so that we are abreast of advances in the field. Everytime, I leave a group meeting at RITES, I am reminded of how fortunate I am to be working with such skilled and caring people.

Our practice frequently refers clients to RITES and, we consistently receive positive reports about the quality of RITES services. Our clinical/evaluation group is multi-disciplinary, completing numerous psychoeducational, neuropsychological and speech and language evaluations with a diverse array of children and adolescents. When follow-up services are indicated within the tutorial domain, RITES is the first agency we typically turn to. Lisa and Halley respond promptly to client inquiries, offer insightful suggestions, sustain a diverse array of service offerings and collaborate reliably with referring professionals. Their agency has become invaluable within the Rhode Island and Massachusetts educational tutorial communities. Dr. Rick Solomon, Co-Director, Delta Consultants Providence, RI

I have been working with RITES for many years now, and have been impressed by how well-trained and supportive their tutors are. They go beyond what is typically provided in a tutoring agency, and they have kept their rates very reasonable over the years. Halley &Lisa are dedicated to the RI community, and they are tireless in their pursuit of scholarship monies for families in need. I highly recommend them!!

My 9 year old son has been attending the 5 week summer session at RITES for Orton- Gillingham skills for the past two years. As a result, his confidence and skill level have benefitted immensely. This program has been wonderful, not only because it makes use of the abundance of free time in the summer, but also because it provides the consistency he needs to ensure his academic success. The teachers in the program are true professionals who genuinely understand the many co-existing conditions that occur with kids with learning differences (such as attention issues or social/peer related issues). They work to help the child not only to build skills for reading, but also to develop strategies for better listening or for more appropriate peer interaction. Not only is the program effective, but he also truly enjoys going. Prior to O.G. training, learning had always been an arduous chore for my son. RITES has helped him to become motivated, because he now realizes that if he tries, he can actually do it. He is currently in 4th grade and is reading at a solidly average 4th grade level--and actually loves to read!

RITES tutorial services helped my high school age daughter with her study skills - this 4 session class was so practical and helpful . Their scheduling is very flexible. She also received individual tutoring for ACT and SAT tests and this gave her so much confidence. The tutors were knowledgeable in their subjects and tailored their style to my daughter. RITES was also very open to feedback and if we needed to shift the focus of tutoring they responded to all of our requests. I would highly recommend RITES!
