We would like to advise you of Demaris’s
progress, and the benefit she received from taking your course at Rocky Point
Academy.
We had realized very early that Demaris
has a different learning and thought process.
After a long struggle, Demaris had been diagnosed through the school
system as dyslexic and disgraphic.
Prior to taking your course, we would work with Demaris daily, re-teaching
whatever had been taught at school each day.
This was often a couple of hours each night, to put things into terms
that made sense to Demaris. This
involved many different approaches, with a trial and error process.
Through this process, and a great deal of hard work and long hours,
Demaris was able to maintain an average in her school marks of about
seventy-five per cent.
Demaris was also somewhat shy and
withdrawn at school, often afraid to speak to the teacher.
She did not participate in class very much, and was often frustrated and
depressed.
After taking the Rocky Point Academy
course, we began to notice a growing sense of self-assurance in Demaris.
When she returned to school that September, we discovered that Demaris no
longer needed daily help from us in order to assimilate the teaching she
received at school. She began to
participate, not only in class, but also in school leadership programs such Peer
Helpers. She has good relationships
with all of her teachers, as well as the school Principal and Vice-Principal.
Her marks in school rose to and remain in the eighties and nineties.
The difference in Demaris was drastic.
She went from being an emotional child with little self-confidence, to an
independent, self-assured, outgoing individual, able to maintain Honour Roll
marks.
We would recommend the Rocky Point
Academy for anyone experiencing the type of difficulties Demaris had.
Please feel free to use us as a reference for your school.
What was given to Demaris by your course is beyond price, and we will
always be grateful for it.
Sincerely,
Barbara & Chester
