“It’s been a great two year. You guys have honestly done so much, not just for the middle schoolers, but for us too. The benefits for the middle schoolers are obvious, but you’ve taught the high schoolers some invaluable lessons. We’re taught how to teach, how to learn things and see things from another perspective, how to cooperate with people that aren’t necessarily the easiest to work with, and more. Thank you so much!” – Jeff Z., Tutor
“When I first approached the 121 table at the 6th grade orientation, I thought how wonderful to help these kids with the challenges of sixth grade work. I encouraged my daughter Gabby to attend. Ever since she never missed a Monday/Thursday. Lulu was the perfect match and she was such a big help. She LOVED Lulu’s tutee treats. Thank you so much for this wonderful program. Hopefully it will be around when my 2 boys get to TRMS [Taylor Road Middle School]” – Priscilla P., Parent
“As a parent, I appreciate 121reach because the tutors can present a perspective the parents never can. They can help kids see problems and help create solutions. It is wonderful for these kids to have positive role models too!” – Anonymous, Parent
“Thank you so much! You provided help when needed and instilled confidence in my daughter. You made the transition from elementary school so easy. Hopefully, my daughter will follow in your footsteps and be a tutor one day!” — Lisa K., Parent
One teacher at Taylor Road Middle shared this story: “I asked my students where they could seek help for a coming exam. I was hoping they would say ‘From you!’ Instead, they called out in unison: ‘From 121Reach!’” -Kelly Parker, Taylor Road Asst. Principal
I think this is a great program that will bring positive social change to two different age groups, not to mention, getting the parents on both sides involved. This goes back to “it takes a village to raise our kids”. In this day and age, eduation is empowerment and fosters a positive social environment. Fan Fan, this is a great idea and will bring communities together. Thank you! –J. Dudley, Parent
I am grateful that my son, Jared has had the opportunity to attend the 121Reach Tutoring Program at Taylor road middle school for the past 2 years. The program has provided him with a tutor twice a week who is proficient in French and math to meet his individual needs. His tutor and I communicate frequently to be certain that he is accomplishing what he needs to. Jared also has a lot of fun at the events that 121Reach sponsors. I continue to be amazed at the phenomenal job that the founder, Fan Fan has done creating, implementing and running this valuable program for my child. What an accomplishment for a high school student! The devotion that she and the tutors have towards the success of the program is amazing. —Lori Lyon, Parent
