I was skeptical at first as to what progress my daughter could make in 15 minute tutoring sessions. I was wrong!

This program is excellent and I would recommend it to every parent because the improvement my daughter has made is just unbelievable. She comes across new words and sounds them out correctly. She keeps coming home with 100's on her tests. I even enrolled her younger brother so he can get ahead."

I think the program is amazing. We are so grateful for the growth our daughter has experienced. Her testing scores went up by over 100 points in the 4 months she's been receiving tutoring. I hope more parents take advantage of this opportunity!

Both my kids are getting reading help with PEAK Literacy. I have seen a drastic improvement in my daughter's reading in just a few short weeks and my son's grade in ELA increased this quarter. They are excited about reading, even choosing to go to the library instead of a store.

Coaching a nonprofit that truly understands the concept of a mixed revenue stream is a joy. PEAK Literacy is well-positioned to create a sustaining, renewable income stream through its sliding fee tuition structure, presentations to teachers and administrators attending academic conferences as well as establishing a network of partners throughout the country. This earned income stream will be leveraged by gifts from grateful families and K-12 colleagues who experience the outcomes and recognize the value of the Great Leaps curriculum delivered in compliance with PEAK Literacy's best practices. This organization is poised to become increasingly influential in its chosen forum.
