TESTIMONIALS
What They’re Saying
"During her time with us, Ms. Virgilio handled all of her assignments and responsibilities with poise and precision. She was very eager to learn about how to effectively work with students within each student’s schedule and make sure they did not miss instruction time in the classroom. She worked closely with child study team members, administrators, and teachers during her time with us and was immediately able to establish a rapport and positive relationship with each and every staff member she came into contact with. Furthermore, she is caring, compassionate, and skilled at forging a strong bond with the families in Ewing’s school community."

"It is our great pleasure to strongly recommend Melissa Virgilio for a position as a reading specialist/teacher position. Melissa has been working with our eleven-year-old daughter Valentina for about one year and a half. Melissa has been a great tutor for reading using the Wilson method and also writing and general homework support."

“Melissa has been tutoring our son with remote Wilson Reading tutoring for five months. We were initially unsure of trying remote tutoring as we were not sure it would be beneficial in a special needs situation. We couldn't be happier with the result! Not only has our son made tremendous progress in his literacy, he has gained a new found confidence that has expanded to many other areas. His reading, writing and word recognition have now become a strength. He would previously avoid reading as he became too frustrated but now he loves grabbing his books for reading time. Our son looks forward to his tutoring sessions and has developed a relationship which we did not think would be possible remotely. I cannot speak highly enough of the impact working with Melissa has had on our son especially with the changing and uncertain in person schooling schedule. We will definitely be continuing to use Melissa's tutoring service long after the current situation due to Covid has passed.”
