Ms. Patterson is amazing!! Her ability to engage our 9-year old son while improving his reading and handwriting skills was nothing short of magical. Ms. Patterson integrated Ollie's curriculum (spelling words, social studies, etc.) into the reading and writing that she did with him, which made the hour that she spent with him even more valuable. After seeing our son's handwriting and reading improve dramatically (his DIBEL's score jumped enormously), he "graduated" from working with Ms. Patterson and sadly said "But I don't want to graduate!" She's the best!
- Chris Oertel, parent of Ollie
Ms. Patterson is a gem! She is the core reason our daughter's test scores improved dramatically in phonological memory and awareness. Our seven year old can finally comprehend successfully and enjoys reading. Instead of getting frustrated while reading, she uses the skills Ms. Patterson taught her. You can actually see and hear her blending, segmenting and proudly moving along with her reading and writing. She now has skills and confidence in herself and in the classroom.
-L. Dennis, parent of second-grader
Ms. Patterson is incredible with my child who struggles with reading. The giggles and smiles at the end of a session with Ms. Patterson are evidence of a child whose self confidence and love of learning grow each hour he spends with her. Her ability to connect, inspire and encourage is simply amazing.
-Liz Buckingham, parent of fourth-grader.
We love Ms. Patterson! She is organized and prepared for every session. She is wonderful with the kids and is able to meet their individual needs. She is excellent in her ability to identify each child's strengths and challenges. She is upbeat and positive with the kids and engages them. She is able to handle my son, even if he is having a rough day--I never have to worry. Her experience as an elementary teacher really comes in handy! My son was having difficulty with reading and since working with Ms. Patterson his confidence has improved dramatically and he is reading everything everywhere he goes. He reads billboard signs while we are driving, restaurant menus, things on TV, etc. It is so wonderful to watch. I was so worried and now he is excelling! We are very grateful to Kass for her remarkable and kind care.

"Kass has a wonderful balance of being focused, disciplined and warm at the same time. More important than her years of knowledge, she connected with my child the minute they met and that made all the difference."
-Elisabeth N., parent of student, Laura.
"Both of our boys were lucky enough to have Ms. "Chicken Patty" Patterson as their teacher. The nickname, given to her by her students, says a lot about her closeness to her students, appreciation of their young minds and sense of humor. She is one of the best teachers I have ever met. Her innate ability to connect with children and to make them want to work and learn and behave well is unsurpassed. She has a fantastic sense of how each child learns, what they need to succeed, and is able to help them
get there. Recognizing very quickly if a student is not at a level where they should be, she is able to individualize her
teaching to help develop the skills they need to succeed."
-Virginia A., parent of students, Nico and Luke
"Ms. Patterson is an extraordinary teacher! Her incredible sense of humor keeps kids engaged and excited about learning.
Her teaching methods and great activities enable each student to build confidence and become better people."
Yan D., parent of student, Sophia
"Kass is simply amazing! Ryan (6) loves seeing her and claims she made learning to read fun because she is "the funniest and silliest teacher I ever had!". He has made phenomenal progress with her help."
-Jami A., parent of student, Ryan.
