Tutor Bio
"The feeling of struggling and not being able to understand is painful, and I know firsthand what it's like. After learning I had dyslexia, I worked hard to overcome academic struggles. After discovering the Barton system and using it to help myself and others succeed, I am a wholehearted believer that it is an incredibly effective system. The results I've experienced and witnessed have been transformative. I am passionate about sharing this discovery with others and offering them a fresh start." Abbie Niehausen
