"I have two children who are both dyslexic and ADHD but present completely different. GLLS has helped create confidence, building on strengths and strengthening weaknesses. GLLS was a part of both my children’s high school education. They helped my daughter move from regular classes to AP and honor classes. She is now thriving in college. GLLS has helped my son with executive function and school work. He has been able to take 3 APs each year from 10-12 grade. He has gotten into multiple colleges and has the choice of where he wants to go. We have been with GLLS since the early days and are thankful we found them. My kids know if they ever need to check in with their fantastic tutor, their tutor is just a text or email away."

"I have benefitted from SAT tutoring by knowing how to solve complicated problems in both the reading and math sections. I also learned how to attack them as efficiently as possible. I love how personalized the tutoring is and how available and responsive my tutor is regarding communication."

"My 5th grade son has flourished under Courtnie’s guidance! He’s now excited about reading, walking into sessions with a smile after just one visit—thanks in part to Winnie Buttercup, the adorable TA. Courtnie’s creative, movement-based lessons and personalized reading plan have built his confidence and set him up for middle school success."

-Shana, Norwell, MA
"I highly recommend GLLS as Orton Gillingham's tutor. Their personalized approach, dedication to outcomes, and use of multisensory techniques have significantly impacted my child’s reading progress. Not only have they helped close the reading gap, but they’ve also boosted my child’s confidence unbelievably. If you’re looking for a tutor who is focused, effective, and deeply invested in their students’ success, look no further."

"I highly recommend Courtnie Graybill as a reading and executive functioning coach. She has an exceptional ability to connect with my high schooler, making the learning experience engaging and meaningful. Thanks to her support, my child has made significant progress in reading and gained newfound confidence in his abilities."

"I am being tutored in reading and geometry. The tutors at GLLS are great and have helped me in many ways! They are very energetic and like to make jokes, which makes the time pass quickly. I can tell they care about me, too. They always make me feel prepared before every test!"

“Going through the college process with the guidance and expertise of Ruthie was so beyond helpful. The anxiety of making sure I was going about everything correctly was completely stripped and turned into an exciting experience. I can't recommend enough to others preparing to go through the college application process.”

-Wil Hington (Merrimack Alumni - currently in nursing school at Endicott)
“Ruthie was an absolute lifesaver during the college application process—and we don’t say that lightly! Not only did she help our son stay on track (no small feat), but she also managed to keep our whole family sane and still speaking to each other by the end. That alone deserves a medal. Our son genuinely loved working with Ruthie, which says a lot. She had this amazing ability to motivate him without nagging, guide him without overwhelming, and somehow—even with his expert-level procrastination—get everything done on time. Looking back, I only wish we had contacted her sooner. We might’ve even gotten those applications in early! (A parent can dream…) Ruthie brought real insight to the process, gave honest and thoughtful feedback on college choices, and her input on his essays was spot-on. Thanks to her, our son is heading off to study Engineering at Trinity College in Dublin this fall—his first choice! We truly couldn’t have survived this process without her, and we’re endlessly grateful.”
