“Quick Stars Tutoring’s method of teaching works! Mariah is much more confident and proud of herself. She can read so much better than she could three months ago. When she started Quick Stars, she was a 5th grader reading at a 2nd grade level. Because her reading wasn’t at grade level, it made her feel inferior to her classmates. Now, she loves to tell everyone what book she is reading and how she loves to read. I can’t tell you how much her attitude towards school and learning has changed. She knows she can do it, and with help from her tutors at Quick Stars, she is so happy!” —Alicia, Parent

The skills I learned helped me in college and led to my winning an academic award and making all WAC first team. Thank you, Quick Stars!” —Kylie, University of Nevada Graduate
