I would like to take this time to commend you on The Reading Tree, and your selection of teachers. These past two years of visiting The Reading Tree I have been set up with two outstanding teachers: Dr. Paul Levine and Dr. Don Weithman. Mathematics has never been my forte and it has always been a matter of difficulty for me in my thirteen plus years of math.
When I first met with Dr. Weithman for calculus help, I told him I just wanted to pass the class with a "C," seeing as how this was the requirement I needed in order to get credit for the class. He told me that we would see if I could pull off an "A," and I smiled regardless of my pessimism. After weeks of hard work, I went into my final exam with a 93, and in the end got an "A" in calculus. I also had one of the higher grades in my class.
It was obvious to me when I first met them that both Dr. Levine and Dr. Weithman had a profound understanding for mathematics, and Dr. Weithman even tried to rub some of that off on me … My sessions with these amazing teachers has taught me to understand the concept behind the mechanics. I have a new respect for the subject of math and I can now say that I have a new found appreciation for it as well.
I have an immense amount of respect for your program and I just wanted to thank you for allowing me this wonderful experience. The Reading Tree is amazing and every student who walks through these doors is a lucky student indeed. Thank you again.
Sincerely,

Thanks you for your assistance last summer in accommodating my daughter, Lisa Dailey, for the ACT review class. She is currently a senior at Montini Catholic High School in Lombard. She took the classes at both Downers Grove and Naperville in order to fit them into her work schedule. I am pleased and excited to tell you that she raised her ACT composite 5 points when she retook the test in September. Her first score was a 23 and after taking your review her score was a 28. We are hoping to hear soon from the School of Management at the University of Illinois. I have personally recommended your class to many parents whose children are getting ready for the ACT.
