Thank you so much for tutoring our six-year-old daughter from June 2004 until November 2004. She has progressed so well thanks to your tutoring program. She went from not being able to pronounce certain letters and sounds to reading at the second grade level in a matter of a few months. We are so grateful for all of your efforts and lesson plans. Your program is so organized and she flowed through the lesson plans. Her spelling and reading has made her confidence level flourish. She used to be embarrassed and hide the fact she had difficulty reading; now she can read street signs. What a task it was to get her to understand the reading process but with your knowledge and experience, she did progress weekly. We could see results with her each tutoring session. We have to admit we did sacrifice a lot of time to get her there twice a week but our enjoyment of listening to her pronounce and read words is overwhelming at times. Thank you again for services in the Sacramento community. We would recommend Mercy Education Resource Center to everyone. We didn't have to wait long for results.

Sincerely,
John and Mary

To Whom it May Concern:
My son has been attending tutoring at Mercy Education Resource Center for the past five to six years. He was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit disorder when he was 7 years old. Tutoring at Mercy Education Resource Center has encouraged his ability to focus; given him confidence in his abilities, piqued his interests in various subjects, and frankly, gives us a break once per week from homework duties.

Mercy Education Resource Center has provided dedicated, knowledgeable and genuinely nice people to tutor our son. His current tutor is a wonderful former teacher who has bonded with him, and him with her. He wants to do better for us as well as Mrs. White. She is kind, encouraging and has helped him a great deal to improve his grades and given him the skills to think in a logical and focused manner. When he gets into a subject that Mercy Education Resource Center staff is not absolutely familiar, they do research on the subject to be able to assist him. If staff don't feel competent enough in certain aspects of the math he is studying, they find other resources.

I have nothing by praise for the instructional staff at Mercy Education Resource Center. They are wonderful, and I thank God that I found them for our son!

Sincerely,
Karen

To Whom it May Concern:
Thank you for this opportunity to tell you a little about the wonderful work that the Mercy Education Resource Center Education does for those with learning difficulties in the Sacramento community.

I first contacted Mercy Education Resource Center after I discovered that my daughter was having some difficulties in school, getting mostly low C's and some D's. Our daughter, in 6th grade last year, has always been a polite, well-mannered, and happy child but she was struggling in class and she was beginning to feel very bad about herself. I had her tested and it was found that her scores for reading comprehension, language, and math were all over the board. I then had her tested again at Mercy Education Resource Center and it was found that she did, indeed, have some visual and auditory processing difficulties, although she was not labeled leaning disabled. 

Fortunately, the staff at Mercy Education Resource Center primarily Mona Moretto and Anne Roche, were able to work with her and helped her to complete both the PACE program and the Master the Code program. She went though these programs during the summer of 2004, and when she began 7th grade last fall, she has a lot of self confidence and her grades improved tremendously.

We are forever grateful to Mercy Education Resource Center for discounting the price of the two programs (PACE and Master the Code). Without the discount I received, I would not have been able to afford sending her through the programs.

Now, toward the end of 7th grade, she is doing very well in her classes and she is earning A's and B's. She's very pleased with her grades and school performance and she now realizes that, by applying the skills she leaned in PACE and Master the Code, she can do well in her classes.

Very Truly Yours,
Nancy

To Whom it May Concern:
Our son is a great kid. He is creative and enthusiastic about certain things, but he struggles in school. Through the years, we have had him tested in both private practices and through the public school system. He attends a private Catholic school, and in the public school tests, it scored that he needed help, they offered us no help, other than suggesting that we get some computer games, and that he would grow out of it.  As for the private testing, pills and more pills were recommended. This was not an acceptable solution for our son.

On a desperate note we called Mercy Education Resource Center and Mona Moretto happened to be the one to answer the phone. Immediately, we sensed a total change in the way our son was treated. He was treated with a caring manner that we did not find anywhere else. He responded to the teaching and improved his ability to learn. He was finding his focus.

Our son was one of the first students to be put through the PACE program at Mercy Education Resource Center. We could see a difference in some of the areas where he had been struggling. With PACE, you could definitely see where his strengths lie, as well as his weaknesses. This enabled the instructor to target these areas.

He is now at a college preparatory high school. He works twice as hard as other students to make the grade, and he still has some problems with his focus. The tools that he learned at Mercy Education Resource Center, have helped him on the road to adulthood. We are still in contact with Mercy Education Resource Center staff, and we feel comfortable that there will always be an open line on communication.

Best Regards,
Tom and Carol

Dear Mercy Education Resource Center Staff:
I can never thank all of you enough for your guidance and commitment to teaching my son to read. Your patience and your phonetic methodology works so exceptionally well for him. He could not sound out works or identify the alphabet or age appropriate sight words when he started his tutoring sessions with Mercy Education Resource Center in June, 2003; now I watch him read street signs, billboards and magazine covers with ease.

The public school system, private tutoring and the Waldorf school system all failed to engage him and stimulate his interest in reading the way that you all did. He has a measure of trust and respect for Mercy Education Resource Center staff that I have only witnessed him extend to one other human being, his Occupational Therapist. Leaning is made fun for our son and their praise intoxicated him so, that he strives to earn more and more praise.

Our son's leaning disabilities and myriad health challenges cause him to questions his self-worth and diminishes his self-esteem; Mercy Education Resource Center staff manages these complications and helps him to work through his issues without alienating him. I cannot tell you what that means to our family; I truly believe that without your guidance and patience he would still not engage reading.

I am forever grateful, and share my experience with other parents whenever I can; I would recommend your services above the others I tried by far. Thank you for all of your patience and hard work.

In Gratitude,
Susan

Dear Mercy Education Resource Center Staff:
We are pleased to relate to you our family's experience with Mercy Education Resource Center over the past ten years. We first visited a counselor at Mercy Education Resource Center to assist us with our son's acting out behavior at his then new pre-school. Within two meetings of one hour each, and implementing techniques learned during those visits, our son's behavior returned to normal.

A few years later we returned for counseling related to our son's inconsistent school performance. Over the next three years, your counselor Rebecca met with our son twice a month. While our son may never be a math major, he does enjoy writing and acting in theatre productions. He is now a well-adjusted teenager and your counselor was very helpful in realizing that outcome.

We have found the counseling services a Mercy Education Resource Center to be highly professional and extremely affordable. We would be happy to recommend your services to relatives, neighbors and friends.
