Testimonials

My son and I had a wonderful experience with Bill. My son struggles with the language arts. When he completed 1st grade he was not reading or writing at all.
We hired Bill to work with him over the summer. By the end of summer, David was able to read enough to start 2nd grade. During the school year, Bill continued to help David and now my son is reading at grade level.
Bill has a wonderful rapport with David. David was reluctant to read and Bill was able to work through his resistance such that now David really delights in reading. Bill was particularly perceptive about David’s needs. He detected a vision problem in David and recommended we have his vision tested. The testing did reveal that David was having difficulties.
In summary, we have had a great experience with Bill and would recommend him highly.

From very early on, my son enjoyed learning with Bill. His work included fun games, skill building, introduction to grammar and pronunciation, and mathematics. After 6 months my son received another assessment to evaluate his progress. He was found to be at or above grade level scholastically.
I highly recommend Bill. His professional conduct goes beyond what anyone would expect. He is very accommodating to a child’s emotional needs as well as understanding what is required of that child in age appropriate academia. He is also very ‘eyes on the child’ which keeps it where it should be, on the needs of the child rather than the demands of the adult.
It has been several months since my son discontinued remediation. He is working at the top of his class academically, his self-esteem is soaring and he enjoys reading books like never before. I thank Bill Baldyga for inspiring my son.

We hired Bill to help our son with difficulties he was having with reading, spelling, and writing. (Our son is currently in the 3rd grade and also in the resource program at his school.)
Bill has helped our son significantly these past 8 months. His reading skills improved tremendously. Bill has a way of working with our son that was creative and encouraging. His methods were so different than what he was already getting at school. The work they did together not only helped our son academically, but also helped him gain confidence in his skills. Additionally, Bill was an advocate for our son when we were questioning what was happening at school.
As a family, we would highly recommend the services of Bill for any child who is having difficulty at school. The time and effort involved really paid off!
