“The moment my wife and I met Lynn we were impressed. Her demeanor and credentials inspired the assurance we needed to hire her to work with our two boys – one in elementary and the other in middle school – both of whom got poor grades in English, grammar, and writing. She has turned that completely around and they now get B’s and A’s! Book her now! You’ll thank me!”
