Testimonials

“I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay Rice for your child’s educational needs. My daughter struggled all through elementary and middle school and was just “passed along”, I felt. Once we decided to do an on-line high school and Lindsay came on board as her tutor, I felt for the first time my daughter was really learning. Her grades improved dramatically and her attitude towards herself and school was so much more positive than it had ever been. Lindsay is very patient, but at the same time has been firm in her belief of how much my daughter is capable of doing and pushed when necessary.” ~Michelle A., Leawood, KS

“Lindsay was essential in helping our daughter organize her time, develop study strategies and write essays in high school. Today our daughter is in her second year in college. Her freshman year, she was thrilled with her college courses but she found the expectations challenging. She learned quickly college professors assume you’re able to complete assignments and that you’ll seek support if you’re not. The sudden independence was frightening. We brought Lindsay back on as a tutor. The two of them skyped twice a week. They broke down long -term assignments into short – term deadlines. They devised study techniques for exam preparation. The system worked beautifully and it has made a huge difference helping our daughter make the challenging transition from high school to college. Lindsay kept working with our daughter until every assignment was done. She’d work extra hours. She’d send reminders and encouragement – keeping in touch via text, email and phone. She is not only a bright and talented tutor but is patient, listens and cares about her students as people.” ~L.Z.D., Prairie Village, KS

“We found Lindsay a few summers ago when we were looking for an enrichment teacher for my daughter who is always writing stories. In the past few years, Ms. Rice has unlocked my daughter’s potential in creative writing. Together they have explored classic literature, poetry, letter writing, advertisements, short stories and much more. I have enjoyed reading the stories and poems written and love that my daughter looks forward to her weekly sessions. I absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend working with Lindsay!”

“Writing and reading comprehension have never been my daughter’s favorite or best subjects. As she progressed from middle school to high school, it became apparent that she would benefit with tutoring.  I searched for a tutor with strong knowledge in current core standards. Ms.Rice has definitely been the tutor my daughter needed. We have used Ms.Rice’s services for nearly two years and she has definitely made a difference in my daughter’s attitude and comprehension scores. Ms.Rice is very much one that is firm, gives positive reinforcement and encouragement, Respectfully” ~ B.F. Overland Park, KS
