“We have used The Ladder Method for both our Middle school and High school daughters. They came highly recommended and have lived up in every way. They work with so many kids in town that they have a unique understanding of the teachers at our school and what’s needed to succeed in each class. They also work very hard to insure that our kids are paired with the right tutor for both their academic needs and their personalities. A+!!!”

“As an Educational Therapist, I have come to expect nothing but the best from Candice and her staff. I make referrals to her company for my clients who need a customed coaching program or for just a regular tutor to help with conceptual understanding in a subject.
Regardless of the needs of my clients, Candice is able to handpick an appropriate [instructor] to meet their academic, emotional and learning needs. She strategically places her [coaches] with care and takes into consideration what I think is needed. Even after my clients are in her care, she continues to give me regular feedback about their progress.
If an issue arises, Candice does not hesitate for a moment to reach out to the team and remedy the situation immediately. This shows her dedication to her students and her professionalism.I have complete confidence and appreciation for Candice and all her tutors. They focus on the process of learning and are not necessarily grade driven, which is important in my world of educational therapy. Thank you, Candice, for your care, devotion and professionalism in working with my clients.”

“I recently used The Ladder Method for help with my law school application essays and found them to be invaluable. TLM helped me refine essay topic ideas and bring out the strongest points to really make the essays pop. Application essays need to pack a lot of punch in only a couple of pages and I was having a hard time editing my writing to make every sentence say something meaningful. TLM did not just do the work for me but taught me how to be a much stronger writer. I feel more confident in my writing after working with them.”
