My child started reading sessions with Taylor 7 weeks ago. Her reading fluency has more than doubled in that time. I have been in the field of education for 20 years and know how important the process of reading is and believe that every child would benefit from researched-based reading intervention. Taylor provides that and more. She will tailor instruction to meet the needs of your child and make your weekly sessions fun. Don't wait until it is too late. Reading is the single most important skill that your child will need in the academic environment. Added bonus: Not only is Taylor professional, she is calm, kind, and funny. Your child will love her!

Taylor is a joy to work with and a very skilled practitioner. She makes the sessions so fun that my kids don't even realize how hard they are working. My son has an express speech delay and reading intervention has been crucial in enhancing his communication skills. Taylor is setting the foundation for a lifelong love of reading.

Taylor is fantastic! She tutors my 4yr old daughter and it's amazing how quickly her one on one sessions have propelled the start of my daughter's reading. I love the technique she uses, and it truly works. I definitely recommend her and am so happy our paths crossed!

Taylor started working with my 6yr old daughter after she was falling behind by an entire grade level in reading mid year. My daughter is super shy and slow to warm up, but Taylor worked her magic and by the next lesson, they were friends. Her lessons focus on phonics and morphemes and not sight words and guessing, which is her school's approach. In just 2 months, my daughter not only reached grade level, but has now surpassed it. It really is unbelievable, I never imagined that I would see concrete changes this fast. The best part, is that my book averse kiddo now can't keep her hands off her books, and loves sounding out every word she sees out in our day to day. Taylor really does have a gift for what she does, and we have been so lucky to find her.

Taylor is great, and we've seen wonderful improvement in our son's reading. She stays focused on the reading even when our son try's to change the subject. I would recommend Taylor to anyone looking to help their child improve their reading skills.

Excellent experience!My daughter has been learning with Taylor for a few months. And she is very looking forward to meeting with Taylor every time. I have noticed her improvement in reading and also she is a lot more interested in reading books now.

Taylor is a true professional and an amazing resource for parents. Our child just turned five and has trouble focusing at times - our little one does have hyperlexia which (with Taylor's guidance) we are working to 'break' and to teach our kiddo how to pronounce words - by sounding them out. Taylor works by implementing different methods (she has a lot of materials) to teach parts of words (she comes prepared with all these materials, she is always on time, and has never cancelled once in 5 months, never leaves early nor is she ever distracted in session. We never feel like she is in a rush). Taylor is extremely knowledgeable and very gentle - somehow gets our little one to focus on reading that may be 'dry' or hard. Any feedback we have given Taylor (like maybe don't use a timer when our kiddo is trying to avoid a task, because then the request for the timer came up a lot) is received with respect and understanding. We have also worked with other tutors at Sprout and found those sessions to be amazing as well. We feel extremely lucky to have found Sprout Reading intervention. It is at the point now when our little one asks every morning if 'reading taylor' or one of the 'reading teachers' is coming today.

Taylor has only started working with my son (7 yrs) in reading comprehension for about a couple of months and we're already noticing a remarkable difference. Because he now has a better grasp of what he's reading, he's actually picking up random books on his own and reading them for fun! My son loves Taylor! He is full of energy and doesn't always put 100% attention to his work, but she's been great in navigating that dynamic -- allowing him to be himself, but also masterfully redirecting his attention.

Taylor was great. We reached out to her because our daughter needed help with reading comprehension. Taylor took the time and implemented different strategies that worked for my child. Our child has shown great improvement in school.

We are so happy with how much our child has grown since working with Taylor. Our child has always struggled with reading, but now she is keeping up with her peers. Taylor is very knowledgeable and provides you with so much information about your child's progress along the way. She made reading fun, my child could not wait for their next session!

Taylor is amazing! I highly recommend her and her services. Taylor worked with my son for 8 weeks and his reading has improved immensely. Not only is his reading improved, but this has correlated to a HUGE boost in his self esteem.
