My granddaughter started Kindergarten during Covid. Not only did she have to repeat Kindergarten, we later suspected a form of dyslexia. She wasn’t reading at all when I contacted Door of Hope, and public schools were not helping her reading disability. It took nine months, but she is now close to third grade level. I could not be more grateful, we are fortunate that we have a place in Bakersfield that can help. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about how amazing the tutors are at Door of Hope. If your child is struggling with reading then Door of Hope is your solution. Last year our son was in the 2nd grade, but started at a kindergarten reading level. He was struggling immensely both academically and with his self-esteem. He knew that he wasn't at the same level as the other kids and after trying multiple programs and strategies I found Door of Hope on the internet. There was talk about holding him back if we couldn't get him on track over the summer. He started at Door of Hope in June 2023 and did their intensive summer program plus a few extra months into this school year. It was a lot of work, both for him and the tutors. They never gave up on him and for that I am so grateful. The tutors are so kind and the one on one instruction is definitely what he needed. He graduated from the program in October 2023 reading above his grade level. He didn't have to be held back in school, he has found a joy for reading, and his self-esteem has increased tremendously. His 3rd grade teacher was astounded to hear that just last year he really couldn't read. I definitely recommend Door of Hope if your child is struggling to read. It is well worth the investment, both financially and time-wise.
