Learning Designs Learning Services

My daughter is in community college and has learning disabilities. Faced with a semester with four papers I knew we were going to need some help. A business person in the Linden Hills area suggested we check with Learning Designs as he knew Karen and thought she might be able to help us. I was actually doubtful since so many tutor businesses cater only to ACT and not helping students after high school. I contacted Karen as well as two other tutors and decided to go with Learning Designs. Karen put us in touch with the perfect person to work with my daughter and the result was four papers each with a grade of A. Karen matched my daughter to the perfect tutor. It saved the semester. Karen is responsive to each student’s needs and the building in Linden Hills provides a very nice environment for the sessions. I highly recommend Learning Designs.

Our son was extremely anxious and very overwhelmed at school as he struggled with math. We decided to find a tutor and were willing to go just about anywhere to find the right person. When we found Karen we had no idea how much he would she would mean to our son and family. Our son not only loves his tutor sessions, but has started to love math again! Our son starts Spanish in the fall and we are thinking of adding another session with Karen based on how much he loves math now!

Karen with Learn Designs has given our 1^st grader the confidence to attack reading with the love of reading he has always had. Because of circumstances he couldn’t control, our first grader got behind in developing his reading skills. That was beginning to transcend to other areas in school and due to limited resources at his school, we sought the help of Learning Designs. In just 7 sessions so far, he has leaped and soared into the world of reading. The relationship he has developed with Karen has been pivotal for him and her consistent, positive reinforcement sends him home to us with a smile and further confidence in reading. He’ll be reading at 2^nd grade level in no time! Thank you Karen and Learning Designs!

We have been working with Karen for 1 school year and it’s been a fantastic experience. She quickly learned my daughter’s strengths and areas where she was struggling. My daughter absolutely loves going and she says it’s not because of the candy treats. She enjoys the fun math games that Karen creates and feels more confident with the strategies Karen has taught her. The best part is that these strategies are skills my daughter can use for math as well as other subjects in school. My husband and I struggled every night with our daughter’s math homework. mostly because she never wanted to learn from us. But, she will now come home after her tutor and recreate the games that she learned from Karen. Learning Designs has completely changed our daughter’s motivation for Math and has made it possible for us as parents to work with her in a positive way.
