Testimonials

Exceptional Learning has made all the difference for my 6-year-old. He had trouble focusing and was not where he needed to be with his reading and comprehension levels. Exceptional Learning made learning easy and fun for him and he’s now excited about his education! He looks forward to every session (virtual or in person) with his Exceptional Learning family.  Thank you!

Exceptional Learning is heaven sent! I was searching for a place for my children to receive extra help in reading since schools were closed due to the pandemic.  Mr. Richards at Exceptional Learning begin to work with my 2 children who are 6 and 8 in reading. After a month, I began to notice a big difference with their reading rate. He provided me some strategies to help my children at home as well.  Thank you, Exceptional Learning!

The tutors at Exceptional Learning are awesome! They first took time to build a relationship with my child. As they begin working with my child in math, I noticed my daughter was learning at a higher rate than she was at school. I feel the small group interactions allowed her to feel more comfortable with learning.

The awesome thing about Exceptional Learning is their services are free for children and all they ask is for monetary donations of any amount or donations of school supplies and instructional materials for learning. I enjoyed the experience for my children. They love it!
