I think some people are put on this earth to light the way for others. For my family and me, that was Ms. Miller. I had no idea I was dyslexic, but I definitely knew reading, and understanding what I read, were harder for me. From Charlotte, NC to London, UK, reading became something I hated to do. I loved to hear someone read to me, but reading myself..I hated it. Then, finally, testing showed I was dyslexic and with luck, Ms. Miller found time to spend with me and began to change my life.
Ms. Miller's energy, enthusiasm, and love are the best (and my parents appreciate how knowledgeable she is) She immediately made me comfortable from my very first visit to her home. She simplified what had been a very complicated struggle for me and for my family - we laughed together, we read together, we did word challenges and vocabulary...we even did math. And it was fun, I looked forward to my time with her. Most importantly, my own confidence began to resurface, I felt better about myself at school and at home. My mom still gets tears in her eyes when she thinks about all Ms. Miller and I accomplished together - she says it was a turning point for me.
It's going on two years since we lived in London, but I can safely say that Ms. Miller has never left our side. When we first moved to NYC we continued tutoring through Skype. This helped me to start a new school and feel confident, knowing with Ms. Miller I would be ok. Even now, I know I can check in and tell her how I'm doing. I'm confident now and it shows...Ms. Miller showed me the way.
