Testimonials
Working with families and children is the heart of my work. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work and bond with so many dedicated and loving families over the years. I am forever grateful to share below some of their experiences working together...
Meaghan has played a huge role in my six-year-old son's education for the past two years. My son absolutely loves the time he spends with her and looks forward to every lesson. Meaghan has an amazing positive energy about her and truly adores working with children. She has truly helped my son with his reading and self-confidence. She’s also shared amazing tips and tricks for myself to apply at home with all three of my young children. Our family feels so lucky to have the opportunity to work with Meaghan!

Thank you for everything you did for [our child]. For being such a fabulous and caring woman, for being so full of life and for your impactful energy as a teacher.

It is our pleasure to offer my strongest recommendation for Meaghan Yolles as an educator and tutor for young children. Meaghan was both a schoolteacher and tutor for our son for close to a year. Meaghan is sweet, caring and patient, and she has the perfect temperament to work with kids who are at an age when they are very easily distracted. Her sunny disposition and calming demeanor allows her to connect with her students and challenge them in a gentle, reassuring way. Our son sometimes struggles with shyness and self-confidence, but Meaghan had the patience and easygoing personality to draw out his natural curiosity and make his learning process fun for him. She was able to assess his strengths, weaknesses and personal interests and then was very resourceful and clever in developing fun lessons to engage him. Even during the summer, when the sun and outdoors presented stiff competition for his attention, our son always looked forward to seeing Ms. Yolles. She was completely immersed when she was working with him, occasionally to the point that we needed to remind her of the time so she could get to her next appointment. Our son made huge progress working with Meaghan, especially his reading, and it was a big loss when she moved away. On a personal level, my wife and I enjoyed getting to know Meaghan a bit while she was working with our son. It is difficult not to smile when speaking with her, as she brings such positive and refreshing energy. Meaghan is trustworthy and responsible and everything you could want in an educator of young children. We feel very fortunate that our son was able to learn with her and feel very confident that any parent would feel similarly.

My daughter had the privilege of being taught by this extraordinary teacher. Meaghan’s passion for education and her dedication towards her student's growth are unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend her services, as she has the exceptional ability to transform learning into a fun experience, and the kind heart to make every child love her since day one.

Meaghan was the best teacher in Spanish my daughter has ever had and she had several. She was very creative and adjusted her style of teaching not only to the student's level, but also to how tired or focused they were in class. I remember one time my daughter (at that time 10 years old) could not focus in class, so Meaghan decided that they should walk around and every time they took few steps [my child] was required to ask or answer a question on a topic they studied. Meaghan varied materials and approaches she used. For example, she cooked with [my child] and while cooking practiced Spanish with her. Then they made collages with pictures and stories about what and how they cooked. In classes they painted, drew, read stories and later more complicated books in Spanish, sung, walked, jumped, etc. and while doing all this [my child] was learning fast and with pleasure. Meaghan also expected a lot from [my child], set the bar high and [my child] delivered. Thanks greatly to Meaghan [my child] is one year ahead in Spanish in her school.

Meaghan is playful, yet purposeful in her interactions with the children in order to achieve maximum participation. She has an excellent sense of when to create boundaries and when to encourage creativity. It has been a great pleasure to have her working with us.
Cheryl E. (parent of children age 8 and 11 & Occupational Therapy Clinic Director)
Thank you for all you’ve done for our family. While [child] is not always my easy child, this past year he has made some huge strides in both demeanor and academics. He has become so sweet and kind and I know he’s learning that from you. Quite often when we discuss his day you are always front and center to our conversation. I know he feels safe and has a great love for you. You have made such an impact in our lives and we appreciate everything you’ve done for the boys.
Noelle R. (parent of children ages 4 and 6)
Meaghan worked with my kids for a year. She took absolutely wonderful care of them, and they loved their days with her. Meaghan has a fantastic way of relating to kids, and we feel very lucky to have had her spend so much time with ours.
