Success Stories
Hear from the families and educators who have experienced the transformative power of the Barton System.
My daughter has been working with a Barton tutor for 6 months now. The transformation has been incredible! She went from dreading homework to asking when her next tutoring session is. Her self-esteem has soared and she’s confident she can succeed. Emma is now reading at grade level and is being considered for the Gifted program. He walks around with the biggest smile on his face. That is why I love my job!!

He is on the right path and everyone is pleased. Last May, when our son was at the end of first grade and the school recommended we retain him, you advised that we negotiate delaying that decision until just before school starts and tutor him during the summer using the Barton System. After 2.5 months of tutoring, the school gave him a reading test and he is at a level 16 — right where he should have been at the end of 1st grade! The reading specialist wants to take a look at your system.

This year, he received the “Student of the Month” award for attitude and achievement. Prior to Barton tutoring, Dustin struggled in school. Three years ago, at age 10, his teachers said that he could not spell, and his reading was far below grade level. They told me he was “unteachable.” After three years of twice-a-week Barton tutoring, Dustin is about to finish Level 10, and his life has changed. He is happier. School is easier. He is getting A’s and B’s. His GPA is 3.5.
