"...I still remember the first thing you said to him on your first videochat with him. I had told you he loved stories -- both listening to them and writing them, and you said, "Today we are going to talk about numbers and the story of numbers...." and he was interested right away. Your calm, reassuring demeanor, your friendliness as you shared little stories from your life and listened to his, and your completely unflappable, encouraging way of interacting helped him relax and accept your help..."

"We have been working with Carlene for over two years and I have seen incredible growth in my son, not only academically but in his confidence level as well. Carlene has the capability to teach in a way that captivates and intrigues neurodiverse students. My son now enjoys writing stories and has dreams of becoming an author! As a mom, it’s beautiful to see his creativity come to life in words. Thank you Carlene!"
