“Shawa has been great, she is the only tutor I have actually liked and I look forward to our lessons. And I can actually read and write well now, before I could not read or write beyond a few words. Some of my favorite words that we’ve studied are mutate, reef and espionage.” - Happy Student

We are thrilled to work with Shawna Pope-Jefferson and recommend her wholeheartedly. When we discovered Structured Word Inquiry at first it was so different from the other dyslexia interventions we had tried and it took time to understand the process of studying words, but my son and I quickly saw how much more effective it is at teaching him to decode. When we first started my son would give up easily and not be able to focus, but Shawna never gave up on him. She is the most dedicated educator I have ever come across. My son learns about the meaning behind words and he connects it to real life, which makes it so much more interesting for him. Shawna is also very effective at figuring out how to motivate kids; for instance, my son loves learning about complex, interesting words but has less focus when it comes to simple, smaller words so each lesson Shawna focuses on something he is interested in - like espionage - but then breaks down the lesson to include smaller and necessary words. I’m amazed that my twelve year old goes to a full day of school and then WANTS to do his structured word inquiry lesson, but he does because he realizes how valuable it is and he actually looks forward to working with Shawna. - Happy Parent
