My Nonprofit Reviews

I am writing to share my experience working with Rhode Island Tutorial and Educational Services this summer. I was hired by RITES as a Orton Gillingham certified dyslexia practitioner to teach struggling readers this summer. My experience with the organization from beginning to end was extremely professional, well thought out and well executed. It is clear that RITES is one of very few organizations in Rhode Island with the expertise and understanding of how to truly help children with reading challenges. As an educator, I was given ample support and resources and guidance on how to best achieve success with my students in a 5 week period. The students grew both academically and in confidence over the summer and it was wonderful to see them thrive in an environment that was tailored to their needs. The parents/caregivers were given ample feedback and concrete data to show the progress their child had made.

There are so many children that would benefit from the services that RITES offers. I cannot stress enough the importance of the work that RITES does and the extreme need for organizations like it in our education system. Everyone I worked with was extremely professional, knowledgable and most of all invested in helping these children. Their area of expertise puts them in a position to guide and help educators be more effective practitioners. I would gladly recommend RITES to any parent or educator looking to find a knowledgable resource and advocate for a child who is struggling to read.
