| "The Kurtz Center is unique. We train people's brains to learn how
to attend, learn, think, and remember. Whereas most teaching or tutoring
is at the 'application' level, ours is at the meta-cognitive, or
very foundation of learning, level. This is akin to turning a hard rubber
substance into a sponge or formatting a disk. Our clients come in
expecting miracles and they leave having experienced first hand,
the success of our methods for remediation. Read what our clients
have to say about what we do.

What
our clients are saying
"THANK YOU ... we are so relieved. You diagnosed exactly
what the problems were and knew just what to do about them."
~Kurtz Center Alumnus Parent
"The proof is in asking the children. David has
nothing but positive things to say about the Kurtz Center"
"Michael came out of his shell socially at the Kurtz
Center due to their kind and gentle ways of teaching a positive self
image."
"Because of the Kurtz Center, all of the barriers between
myself and my career and life goals have been removed."
"As a teacher, I see many students in high school whose problems
have not been identified or addressed, and they have suffered so many years
of frustration and confusion because they have been perceived as lazy or
unmotivated when really, they have suffered from a l earning or processing
problem that
could have been addressed."
"Coming to the Kurtz Center has been one of the best things
I have done with my money."
"When Todd started at the Kurtz center in May of '96, he was
reading at a 3rd grade level. When he finished, he was attacking words
at a 10th grade level. What a joy to hear Todd reading billboards and bumper
stickers as we drove down the highway. He'd never done that before
in his life!"
"...[he]... is a different child today and we feel
blessed that the Kurtz Center is helping him to realize his full potential."
"The Kurtz Center training allowed [him] to continue in the
honors program, achieving an "A" grade. His overall confidence
and self-esteem has improved dramatically."
"I feel that the Kurtz Center intervened at the most appropriate
time in David's life. His self-esteem was preserved and it basically
saved his life."
"We are so very, very thankful for the Kurtz Center and the
help that our son has received there. His life has improved dramatically,
in fact, he now does have a life, thanks to the Kurtz Center".
"The Kurtz Center really does care for the individual. She
shows more self confidence in her work, is more eager to learn and
tackle previously difficult subjects...[her]...self-esteem has risen
dramatically. Her reading has improved."
"I do my homework by myself now."
"Reports are easy to write."
"Not only is he doing his homework without help, but he's planned
and organized his projects, worked independently on them, and turned them
in EARLY-What a change!"
"Out of 45 kids my teacher said I got the only 100 on her spelling
and vocabulary test."
"Last year he was failing because he couldn't complete his class
work or turn in his homework-this year he's finished his work independently,
turned it in, and is getting A's and B's. His grades are finally reflecting
how smart he is!" |
