“Brian is extraordinary. He took an in-depth, imaginative and unafraid approach to understanding our young adult child. He was truly an immersed, committed partner in helping him. When we asked Brian to be part of our child’s alternative learning journey, he put on the snorkel and dove deep with us. He earnestly strove to understand our child’s thinking, pulling from his treasure trove of hard-earned knowledge and God-given abilities and intuitions to navigate the difficult waters of comprehension and communications in our child’s uniquely-wired neurology. Brian is direct, yet gentle. He has the wonder of a child, yet is astute in his assessments. He hears when he listens and, in a timely and professional way, executes a thoughtful plan. All in all, Brian’s input, which is dedicated and intentional, is worth exceedingly more than the wage he asks.”

“Our family cannot say enough good things about Brian Widmer, and everything that he has done to help our son with his academic journey. His knowledge, insight, wonderful sense of humor & ability to relate to children on their level is almost magical. But what stands out the most about Brian is his genuine concern for the kids that he works with. Since working with Brian, we have seen such remarkable progress in our son’s overall performance & test scores at school. And even more exciting (and something that we never anticipated), was the new found confidence that Mr. Widmer has instilled in him. Our once shy & timid eight-year old who once struggled with reading and phonics related-issues, is no longer intimated to attempt new challenges inside and outside the classroom. And we couldn’t be more grateful for the encouragement and guidance that Brian has given him.”

“My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia in the fall of 2021, she dreaded going to her first grade class because it was so hard for her! She was anxious, insecure, and nervous. Kindergarten was so much fun and easy, but now she had to learn how to read! We found Brian through our school and he has changed my daughter’s life! After just a few months with him, the hard work of her teachers, and the collaboration he had with her school, Brian was able to successfully teach my daughter to read. She not only learned to read, but she became confident, strong, excited, and passionate about reading! I highly recommend Brian, he connects very well with his students and individualizes his lessons to the student. I am also a school teacher and respect the work that Brian does! He is one of a kind, and we are so thankful for him. My daughter enjoys him so much!”

“My daughter was below average and really struggling with reading – comprehension. Brian worked with her and now she has made honors 2 trimesters in a row! This would have never happened if it was not for the tutoring provided by Brian.”

“Thanks so much, Brian! [She] has been trying to read to me everywhere we go now…grocery store, shopping, street signs, you name it. Her confidence is so much better and she always looks forward to Zooming with you. We appreciate your support so much!”

“Brian has been instrumental in helping my son over the last few years. His ability to connect and personalize the learning approach is what makes him stand out as such an incredible educator. He is an incredible human and so thankful to have him as a role model in my son’s life.”

“You are an incredibly gifted teacher who helps kids develop a <3 of learning and mastery of subjects to build a strong foundation…This results in increased independence, incidental learning, and a child who says school and learning are the most important thing to me. You really have been a tremendous gift.”

Yesterday, I met with his teacher and the teacher who supports him at the resource center. The teacher from the resource center was absolutely gushing about how impressed she is with the difference in him from last year to this year. She said he is such a different kid when it comes to the confidence and comfort he has working with her. All a testament to you!!!

“After his senior year…turned into his best year in HS, he was accepted at 4 of the 6 colleges he applied to. …Thank you for everything you did for him. We saw a huge improvement that year and he never would have come as far as quickly without you.”

“I truly don’t know what Alexa would have done without your help. As you know she has a challenge with math dyscalculia and processing speed. College level statistics was daunting.   You were able to truly help her not only do well, but she passed with feeling really good about herself and the progress she made. She didn’t merely get through it, she learned! You were able to understand her learning process and work with her. We can’t thank you enough. Kami and Alexa”

“Brian is incredibly caring and knowledgeable about how to help and to communicate with his students in the way that works best for them. He has made a huge difference for our son.”

““Brian is transformative. He is more than a “tutor”. My daughter has had incredible growth academically with Brian’s support, but she also looks forward to session. She enjoys her time with Brian because he is able to figure out how to reach his students and adjust accordingly. Sometimes, my daughter stands up during the session because she needs to release energy. Sometimes they tell jokes during breaks. He bonds with his students and in turn- they trust him and his methods. I feel blessed to have found Brian for my daughter. Truly a diamond in the rough.”

We hired Brian to help with our son’s reading comprehension and poor test scores. We realized with Brian’s help that there are a lot of different interventions to help and each child responds differently. Brian has customized lesson plans to our son and continued to adapt to our son’s learning needs. We are consistently updated on progress and asked what our expectations are. We are so grateful for Brian and how he has helped our son.

“Amazing tutor! He connects with my teenager and makes her understand the material and excited to learn more. We couldn’t ask for more!”

“I can not imagine getting through middle and upper school reading and math without Brian Widmer. Truly. He has earned my son’s trust with his calm, laidback, patient demeanor and his clear and helpful teaching skills. And since my son is often not comfortable conversing with adults, this was an enormous benefit. I will forever be grateful for his concern for my son’s success in school and for his efforts to help me understand the origins of some of his learning challenges. I do not think 5 stars is enough for me to rate Brian Widmer. I would say he’s a 10-star mentor-tutor.”

Jeanette M

“Brian is my daughter’s 2nd grade tutor. Brian is amazing. My daughter had issues reading and after working with my daughter her confidence is up and she is actually reading. I am so amazed on the turn around with my daughters issue of not being able to read to being able to read and spell as well. Thank you again, Brian.”

“Brian is flexible. knowledgeable and patient. Offers great insight, beyond that of other tutors I have worked with. Brian understands brain development and appreciates the individuality of each client – his approach matches the client, not a singular model for tutoring.”
