TESTIMONIALS

Key Learning is proud to have worked with students and families at the following Santa Barbara Schools:

“Kay worked with our daughter once a week for two years. It has been such a rewarding experience for us all. We felt that Sarah was falling behind and seemed generally unmotivated in the classroom. Kay possessed unique personality traits: a brilliant mind, a patient, warm demeanor, a thoughtful, curious intellect and above all, Kay is a fabulous communicator. We are happy to say that working with Kay has been a huge success. Kay’s work with Sarah gave her the huge boost of confidence she needed.”

“Kay really dug in to find where the “missing links” were in John’s math comprehension. They would approach math problems with different plans of attack, break down word problems into digestible bits, and examined successful test-taking strategies. Her dedication and vested interest in our child’s success was truly amazing. Through Kay, John has learned not only the mathematical procedure required to find the answer but also “why” that procedure makes the most sense; the thought behind the work, so to speak.”

“Kay has proactively contacted Ryan’s teachers, giving them information and goals and also collects information about what they will be learning next in class. This initiative (getting a preview of the new concept is it’s more accessible when presented) has contributed not only to Ryan’s overall comprehension but also has boosted his class participation significantly. It’s an example of one of the many ways Kay is “super-prepared” and goes the extra mile.”

“Kay is working with Mary on reading comprehension and formulating her thoughts in an organized way on paper. In addition, they work on problem-solving and critical thinking strategies for test taking. Kay has gently, and successfully, probed to get to the heart of Mary’s test anxiety.”

“We love Kay! Her arsenal of skills and dedication have changed Max’s academic future as well as his self-perception. We really couldn’t ask for more. Kay is an incredibly unique and gifted educator and any child that’s in her hands is a lucky one!”

“Kay helped me to organize myself, and understand where my test-taking anxiety was stemming from. Once we identified these, she had so many strategies to support me. I feel more confident and less overwhelmed when I do my work now. My writing has improved so much after working with her as well. I’m so thankful I met Kay!”
