I have a 17-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl who worked with Mr. Goldstone for five months last year - our first time using an ed therapist. Mr. Goldstone is that rare creature that goes above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done. I’ve seen him scour the universe to get the right material to work with my kids - he’s very particular about the texts and workbooks that he uses, based on years of experience working with kids. Some of those materials are older, but he feels they are better. He can truly relate to the kids because he himself experienced many of the same issues that they go through when struggling with, say, math or English. He feels their pain, so to speak, and relates to them really nicely, boosting their confidence whenever possible. I’ve seen the proverbial “lightbulb” go on over my kids heads several times under his guidance. He’s also very friendly, flexible with his schedule. Ed therapy, I’ve learned, isn’t just a top-down, teacher-student relationship. It includes trial and error to see what works for the individual child. If I don’t think something is particularly effective, I speak up (because often my kids won’t), and that has helped influence the direction that the work goes, and keeps everyone on the same page. Mr. Goldstone comes to our home, saving all of us (kids and parents) a lot of time, which we very much appreciate!
