Dear Morah Jo-Ann,

Thank you for the lovely card and pin that Benj delivered to me.  Your art work is beautiful and I am honoured to receive it.

All the very best,

Let me start by saying that Madam Melman has been simply amazing in teaching my son Teo phonic, and how to read. I have also learned so much from her and now I understand how to help my son and I consider that very important as a parent.

Madam Melman has been my son’s tutor for the past 2 years at least. Teo is 9 yo and he is in French Immersion system, at present in 4th grade. I am a physician, We live on Vancouver Island and  the lessons have been via Zoom.

 Miss Melman is a very knowledgeable  and so much fun to learn with. She has been continuously encouraging Teo while making sure he takes no shortcuts and understands the rules of reading and writing in English!

Among so many things we enjoy during her classes , my son loves the drawing and the short and super useful songs and cartoons. And I am saying we because I am so excited and I am actively participating in their lesson!

I must say that Teo has been greatly improving his  reading and writing as well he has now forever tools for word decoding and writing in English. He has been showing more interest in reading, has been more focused and less frustrated. 

Jo Ann has been  a super patient , adapting to and understanding Teo’ s learning ways and needs and she makes her classes dynamic and fun!

I am so grateful that Madam Jo Ann Melman has been part of Teo’s learning journey and there are not enough words to express our appreciation!

Sincerely,

Cornelia Popa
