Testimonials

Visions has helped both my kids show significant growth in both reading and math. Ms. Tina and her staff were patient, caring, consistent, and persistent. They made sure my boys had a clear understanding of what ever assignment they had. I was given a full review of their tutoring visits and shown examples of what they worked will with Ms. Tina. My kids were excited about learning, and eager to go to tutoring visits. I would definitely recommend Visions Educational Learning to any family with a child who needs one on one tutoring with a fun and energetic and affordable team!!!

My daughter started attending at the beginning of the final quarter of school for help with reading. Tina and her associates are great! You can tell that they are passionate about what they do and my daughter brought all of her 2s up to 3s in the few weeks they've been working with her. She is now going to first grade! She completed a 1st grade worksheet today and mastered it! I could never have done this without Visions. Thank you!!!

My daughter attends tutoring with Mrs. Tina. Never knew she could break her out of her shell and become so confident in her work. Teachers are also noticing improvement within the classroom. Her knowledge and breakdown methods with the kids make a huge impact on them. Highly recommended!

They Both Enjoy going there and they are Doing Much Better in their school work.Ms.Crews goes the Extra step to Help the Children at her Center.
