About Us

Hi - My name is Yael Cohen. When things just aren't going so well with your child at school, you want to know why, what to do, and how to get it. I have over 30 years experience doing just that, especially when it comes to learning how to read.

I Teach Kids To Read & So Does This Computer Program!

I started using Headsprout with some of the kids I tutor last summer and was absolutely amazed at how much and how fast their reading improved! Even the kids I work with who have cognitive challenges are doing well with it! On top of that, the kids LOVE working on it! Their parents LOVE that this is a fun and well designed program that really does teach their kid to read. Because I LOVED the difference it made for kids, I decided I had to get the word out to parents just like you, and added in a free reading consultation with me when you order it for your child! With the right kind of instruction, every child can learn - yours included. I look forward to assisting you and your child.

Parent Feedback

"When I brought my son to Yael, I wasn't sure what to expect. My son sustained a head injury at age 7 and has significant emotional problems, and, on top of all that, he had been regressing for a couple of years. He started seeing Yael at the beginning of this year, as he was starting 5th grade. At the beginning of the school year, the school tested him -- he was reading at a 1.6 grade level; he was just re-tested on the same exam and he went up to a 2.3! This is the first time he has progressed in over 3-years, so we have hope again. The most important thing is he feels successful. To see his hope makes it all worthwhile. I would HIGHLY recommend Yael to anyone, especially those that have children with attention or behavioral challenges, as she is creative in her approach. "

"My son struggled with reading. We used various interventions for 7 years. And with the first few months of using both Yael and Headsprout, I can honestly say he is learning to read."

"My 9th grader was still reading and spelling on a 2nd - 4th grade level. Had I known about multisensory reading techniques, my child would have been reading at grade level years ago. Yael has been instrumental in my daughter's success in reading and spelling. I absolutely recommend her!"

"Yael, the advocate we found between the meetings, explained everything to us in language we could understand, analyzed the actual testing and the IEP (Individual Education Plan) document, asked questions, and offered solutions. We knew nothing about reading programs, but Yael convinced the school (we're still not sure quite how she did this) to use one of the major research-based reading programs to teach him. She gave us a plan to follow, got us accountability from the school, and got our son the instruction he needed. She also encouraged us to find a dyslexia specialist to help him outside of school. We chose to use Yael as his reading and math tutor and our son's progress was nothing short of amazing! Recently, when the school complained that all he wants to do is read, we responded with huge grins. She is a walking encyclopedia and has given us so many resources!"
