From hiding during reading to picking up books with confidence—this is the change we see every week at Minnesota Learning Solutions.
July, 2025
Imagine this…
Your child, who used to hide during reading time, who said “I’m just not smart,” who braced for another meltdown over math, is now standing taller.
They’re smiling.
They’re picking up books on their own.
They’re approaching new challenges with curiosity, not fear.
That’s not just a dream. It’s the reality we witness week after week at Minnesota Learning Solutions.
The tears? Replaced with confidence The struggle? Met with tools that actually work The shame? Traded in for pride and self-trust
When someone finally understands how their brain works and is given tools that honor their way of thinking, it changes everything. It’s like handing them a key that unlocks a part of themselves that was never broken, just waiting to be seen.
One parent recently shared:
“Tracy was referred to us by a friend when our oldest daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD. It was a scary and uncertain time for us and there weren’t a lot of places to go to get answers. Our daughter, who had been convinced she was never going to read a book without pictures or excel in school like her peers, was a changed person after 5 days with Tracy. She had confidence, could advocate for herself, and finally realized she was smart. She just didn’t know how to show it before. A year later, she made the A honor roll and was invited to join the National Junior Honor Society. We drove from Stillwater to see Tracy for 5 days in a row and we would do it again (and have, with our middle child). The skills Tracy teaches and the potential she unlocks is worth every penny and every minute.”
It doesn’t have to be this hard.
There is a way forward. One that doesn’t require more pushing or years of trial and error. One that brings freedom, confidence, and real change in just days.
If your child is still stuck, let’s talk. I’d love to hear your story and explore what’s possible.
Freedom could be closer than you think.
Warmly,
Tracy
