Ozayr was struggling at school, especially with Mathematics problem solving. He was always a child that got very easily distracted and took a while to get focused. He was also a slow reader and struggled with really big words. I always had to assist him with homework. If I left him alone he would either get distracted and leave it or he would say that he could not understand the instructions.
He started only late October 2012 but I started noticing improvement immediately — after about 2-3 classes. His attitude towards his schoolwork changed: he was more eager to do his homework, he started to sit on his own with homework at night with less assistance from me, and I would only check to see if he was doing it correctly. He tried to read everything he saw on billboards, signs, etc. His teacher also said he is more confident in class.
He still has a long way to go but the improvement is phenomenal. I have attached a copy of his report to show how he has improved in most of his subjects.
