Laeta learning has been an amazing asset for our child. While he wasn't "below" his grade level, we could tell he was struggling with reading, writing and spelling. He loved books but needed the confidence and skills to progress. Throughout the past 6 months he has gone from barley meeting his grade level…
Our family has been part of Laeta Learning for years, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. My daughter began attending when she was around 5 or 6 years old, and my son started when he was only 3.5 or 4. They are now 9 and 6, and we remain a very loyal and grateful Laeta family.
Kaytee Jones is one of the most caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested educators I have ever met. What stands out most to me is that she does not simply tutor children; she truly cares about their growth, confidence, and overall development as learners.
Over the years, both of my children have received support in reading, writing, and math, and I have watched them thrive academically. Even as their needs and abilities have evolved, Laeta has continued to challenge them and help build a strong academic foundation.
As a parent, it means so much to have a place where you know your children are cared for, understood, encouraged, and challenged. I plan to continue bringing my children to Laeta for as long as we can.
Columbia is incredibly fortunate to have a resource like Laeta Learning. I highly, highly recommend them to any family looking for thoughtful, high-quality academic support for their children.

Leata is so organized and easy to schedule, pay and get feedback from regularly. As a busy mom it’s nice to know this is one ball that won’t get dropped.
CoMo has a HUGE resource in Leata Learning! They can help anyone who wants to learn.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Laeta Learning! Our son started working with Ms. Gaby and the team back in October after we transitioned from private to public school and realized he was starting the year behind in reading. Thanks to their incredible support, personalized strategies, and constant encouragement, he is now not just caught up—but grade levels ahead.
More importantly, they’ve helped him build something even greater than skills—they’ve built his confidence. Before Laeta, reading felt overwhelming to him. He used to avoid it altogether because it was “too hard.” Fast forward to today—he now chooses to read every single night before bed for at least 25 minutes, something I never would have believed possible a year ago.
While he technically doesn’t "need" tutoring anymore, he loves going so much that we’ve already committed to continuing next school year. The growth we’ve seen is priceless, and we owe it all to the entire Laeta Learning team. They’ve helped our child discover the joy of reading—and set him on the path to being a lifelong learner. We are forever grateful!

With many schools, even private, having upwards of 22+ students per classroom, many students who need more one-on-one help are not able to get that support in class. Laeta teachers create an environment where learning is FUN! We have been attending Laeta since they opened and are extremely grateful for the amazing teachers and Kaytee who is the kind and gracious owner. They are wonderful at working with kiddos who struggle with ADD/ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions. You will get detailed assessments as your child progress over the semester and it really has helped our son grow in his abilities and confidence. He loves to go and see his “friends” at tutoring and learn along the way! Highly recommend!!! ✏️📖

Laeta learning has been an amazing asset for our child. While he wasn't "below" his grade level, we could tell he was struggling with reading, writing and spelling. He loved books but needed the confidence and skills to progress. Throughout the past 6 months he has gone from barley meeting his grade level expectations to being at the higher end of his grade level - meeting all his school goals. Tutoring at Laeta is also fun! He never grumbles about going and always has a positive experience. Love Kaytee and her whole team - THANK YOU for what you do!

Saved my relationship with my child. By seeking tutoring from Laeta I was able to focus on being mom again, not being the person fighting with them over reading. They have loved working with the anll of the amazing teachers at laeta and reading is not longer a stressor for our family.

We are THRILLED with the progress our son has made in reading since attending Laeta. Their instruction process is fun, so he loves to attend. He went from feeling down on himself at the beginning of first grade to catching up and, in turn, developing newfound confidence. As a bonus, he now enjoys attending school, too. We highly recommend Laeta to anyone whose child could use extra help. Our experience has been amazing.
