Thanks to TLC I learned that even if your child has problems, whether it is reading, math, or spelling, there is ALWAYS help available. Let the experts at TLC show you what kind of help is available for your child … Every child is entitled to an appropriate education.

Since the beginning of this program I have become much more focused during school, and I find simple tasks that used to be difficult are a lot easier. I can pay attention to my teachers, and when I begin to get distracted or daydream, I am able to realize my distraction and direct my focus back to my teacher.

This is the first semester I have ever made the honor roll in my life, and I owe it to TLC … Learning is starting to come easier to me, and that’s a plus because of my learning disabilities, ADD and ADHD … I don’t know where I would be without you.

Thank you for being here! The entire staff was so encouraging, helpful, and nice to me during my time in the PACE program. For four years I tried tutoring, summer school, and event spent time in learning support. I was ready to think that it was me until I came here. Your program has given me so much confidence in myself …

TLC is a first-class organization with a casual atmosphere which makes learning fun. From Mack’s initial assessment with Shauna, he truly enjoys going twice a week to work on his education.![]()

The presentation of “Understanding Attention Disorders” delivered by Dr. Joe Utay and Dr. Carol Utay was very informative and beneficial for me. I found the activities in which I participated in to be enlightening as to how a student with a learning disability may feel.

I enjoyed these activities — they will help keep me grounded to think about any barriers the kids may face … things that any one of us may have otherwise overlooked.

We’re so happy with the progress Evan has made in the PACE program. It is the best money we have ever spent! Yesterday, Evan did like the excitement he generated around his ability to recall Math facts … We see this success as opening the door to many possibilities.

This is a letter of thanks for all the valuable help that you and the staff have given me … Staff assistance and availability of resources are superb. Despite the presence of other students I am still able to learn. (I usually have trouble when people are around.) The staff respects me as I respect them. Working with the tutors is similar to a study session with a true friend.

I have never written a letter to anyone for anything or product, so for me to write this I am very impressed with Total Learning Center. The first thing I would like to comment on is the love, respect, and encouragement that your teachers give the kids. The first thing that improved in my daughter was her self-esteem because you encouraged her in her talents and helped her with her homework and showed her she wasn’t dumb.
