“Our son worked with Liddy for all three years of middle school and relied on her heavily when working on multi-step projects and preparing for tests. Liddy’s cheerful demeanor, attention to detail and expert level knowledge regarding ways to support gaps in executive functioning were all keys to him having a positive middle school experience and growing academically. Furthermore, her ability to stay one step ahead of his needs meant he was seldom working from behind. Liddy has been invaluable to our family and has skillfully bridged the gap between family and teachers/school administrators. We plan to continue to utilize her expertise as our son transitions to high school.”

“I am a licensed clinical therapist and mother of a neurodivergent son. In all of his 16 years, no educator has even compared with Liddy’s role in our son’s life when he had her for his fifth and sixth grade teacher. She was able to meet him where he was, encourage him and help him to grow—socially, emotionally and academically—in unparalleled ways. We look back at those two years as one of our greatest gifts, both for our son individually, as well as our family as a whole.”

“Liddy is an essential support for both my daughter and me. My daughter has Dyslexia and was struggling with her learning, her confidence and achieving her potential. We were also unsure of how to navigate learning support at school. Liddy is an amazing tutor, but she is so much more than that. She is truly invested in my daughter’s success; she guided me through getting the appropriate support and accommodations in place in school - attending meetings, consulting, working with the school staff - her experience and invaluable knowledge helped me advocate for my daughter. With Liddy on our team, I know that my daughter not only is not going to fall through the cracks, but she is going to be able to achieve her potential, feel good about herself doing so, and thrive. I could not have navigated the world of learning support without her; Liddy’s consult and advocacy made me feel confident that I am ensuring my child’s needs are being met. I also believe Liddy’s influence truly has had a critical impact on not only my daughter’s identity as a student but also her confidence and ultimately the foundation of her success in life.”

“Liddy was able to establish a trusting relationship with my very shy 7 year old. She showed an interest in my daughter’s likes and built a great rapport. Liddy makes learning relevant and fun; she has given my daughter a sense of security in her knowledge and a drive to grow. My daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions; she can always tell me what she worked on and what new skill liddy was able to help her use. Liddy provides a great balance when teaching new skills—strengthening old skills and stretching to new abilities. In one summer, my daughter was able to grow several levels in reading and math. Liddy communicates regularly with the family and school, and I look forward to the weekly progress notes. Liddy maintains a professional, safe and inclusive learning environment and is always encouraging.”

“When our son was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and ADHD, we were completely overwhelmed. He was falling behind in his classroom and, even more concerning, was beginning to dislike school. Fortunately, part of his treatment plan included meeting with Liddy twice a week. Over the next few months, he began to improve dramatically, and by the end of his first grade year, he was very sad to leave school for the summer! Liddy has a unique ability to meet kids where they are, engage in things they love and build confidence in learning. She's patient, she's nurturing, and she communicated with us clearly and proactively. She's excellent and we can't recommend her enough.”

“Liddy Stewart has served as my daughter's learning specialist for several years and has been an incredible resource and encouragement for my daughter. Patient, empowering, kind, nurturing, in-tune with middle schoolers and excited to help-- Liddy is terrific. She helped my daughter become a better organized, proactive, self-advocating student whose academic results improved dramatically during her time with her. When asked about Liddy, my daughter said, ‘She is so patient and she actually cares about you. She is 10 out of 10!’”
