Client Success Stories

I’m proud to recommend Angela Marie D’Antonio for her outstanding work as an ESA Consultant with Bright Thinker.

Angela has consistently delivered services that are effective, efficient, and cost-conscious—a rare and valuable combination. Her understanding of the complex and evolving landscape of Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) is both deep and practical, allowing her to navigate compliance and implementation with confidence and clarity.

When I brought Angela onto our team, I set what I thought was a realistic goal for ESA approvals. She didn’t just meet that goal—she exceeded it by more than three times (x3). That level of performance speaks to her expertise, her diligence, and her ability to get results.

Angela knows her stuff. She brings experience, insight, and professionalism to everything she does, and she’s been a tremendous asset to our organization. I highly recommend her to any organization working within the ESA space or needing strategic guidance on education policy and program compliance.

Angela doesn’t just give advice. She invests in your success with insight, integrity, and generosity. I asked Angela for a consultation and review of my marketing and products to see how I can take my company to the next level. Her review and comprehensive analysis went far beyond anything I expected.

Angela carefully reviewed the strengths and weaknesses of my current marketing approach and offered actionable steps to build both brand identity and long-term growth. She pointed out areas where I was getting “stuck in the weeds” and helped me refocus on the bigger picture. She provided a clear plan of action along with suggestions for which items to start with. She also recorded our session and gave me several pages of notes and suggestions so I could go back and review later, which was an incredible added value.

What stood out most was how encouraging and empathetic Angela was throughout the process. She identified weaknesses and helped me reframe my plan without making me feel overwhelmed or discouraged. She provided hard data, sharing statistics about the market to replace “fingers-crossed” guesswork I had heard in the past from others. Although she works with clients far larger than my company, she never made me feel small or unimportant. In fact, she helped me recognize the real value of my work in a way I hadn’t before.

Angela is highly skilled, incredibly generous, and deeply committed to her clients’ success. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for guidance, clarity, and confidence in growing their business.

Angela was amazing to work with, she is extremely knowledgeable about curriculum, curriculum sales, how business work, what people need and how to network and make connections. She has endless energy and is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for any help on a project in the future. She was a life saver for us.

I highly recommend Angela, a dedicated education professional with a profound understanding of dyslexia. Angela successfully navigated her daughter's dyslexia journey, empowered by the discovery of the transformative Barton Reading and Spelling program.

Motivated by her daughter's advocacy and armed with tutoring success using the Barton system, Angela expanded her reach by offering services to dyslexic students in the community. In just six weeks, remarkable advancements were observed, showcasing Angela's commitment to making a positive impact.

Angela is a compassionate and effective advocate for dyslexia awareness and intervention. I recommend her for her dedication to fostering a love for learning in dyslexic students.

In short, she has helped my boys in all aspects of reading. One hundred percent worth it.

Two of my children are being tutored by Angela. My boys were struggling with reading and writing. When tested at school they were reading well below their grade level. I tried other online programs such as hooked on phonics and ABC mouse, but my kids lost interest within about a month. Angela has been seeing my boys for about 4 months. They have made great progress in reading and writing. One of my boys just finished his iReady reading test and improved in all areas by 75%. Both of their teachers are amazed at their growth. I am as well. Angela is creative with how she teaches and makes it fun. My two boys actually look forward to their tutoring sessions.

Angela accompanied me on a tour of curriculum showcases in Alaska. She was engaging and helpful to prospective families, quickly learning all of the details of our curriculum. She was professional at all times and filled with energy that brought people to our table. She was also an excellent travel companion, with great skill at finding delicious restaurants. Her professionalism cannot be topped.

What (also) sets Angela apart is not just her skill in tutoring but her generosity in sharing her knowledge and experiences with other tutors… Angela's contributions extend beyond individual tutoring sessions; she is helping to shape a supportive ecosystem where tutors empower each other and, most importantly, their students.

For anyone seeking a dedicated, empathetic, and highly effective reading tutor or homeschool coach, especially for students navigating the challenges of dyslexia, Angela is an unparalleled choice. Her approach, informed by both personal empathy and professional rigor, ensures that her students not only improve academically but also gain the confidence and love for learning that are crucial for lifelong success.

— Joanne Kaminski, Owner, Online Tutor Business Coach

My son is so excited about his tutoring sessions. He's happy and relaxed when he comes home from them. It's obvious that he's having fun and his improvement in school is showing that he's gaining confidence in his skills as well.

We're so happy to have this opportunity for him to work in such a stress-free, fun, and engaging learning environment.

His teacher in school is seeing marked improvement in his engagement in class and in the work he is turning in as well.

— MJ Heather

I highly recommend Angela for her outstanding qualities as an educator and advocate for students with dyslexia. Angela's punctuality, energy, and dedication to her work are truly commendable. She is always ready to offer assistance and provide valuable insights and strategies to support others. I recommend Angela to anyone seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic dyslexia reading tutor.

I have the pleasure of knowing Angela, I am consistently impressed by her dedication and professionalism. She possesses a remarkable focus and attention to detail, evident in her excellent tutoring skills, particularly in Barton Reading and Spelling online. Additionally, Angela has demonstrated her expertise in educational sales consulting through her successful homeschool business. Her commitment to helping others succeed is commendable, and I do not doubt anyone who works with her will benefit greatly from her knowledge and expertise.

— Millie Cosme, Owner, Nurturing Minds Tutorial

Angela is a go-to source of knowledge, insight, and experience for me. She gives sound advice, has a breadth of knowledge that can only be developed over years and years of time on-the-ground in our shared education space, and is not possessive of her insider knowledge and contacts, at least among those down in the trenches with her. I wish I were working with her full time.

— Nate Noorlander, Co-Founder, The Nomadic Professor

I have two very active boys who were significantly behind on their school's reading standard. I had tried things like Hooked on Phonics, increased reading times at home, and ABC mouse. With these programs my boys quickly lost interest.

I heard about Angela through a friend. And my boys have been going to her for about three months. Their reading, spelling, and word decoding has improved so much since they have seen her that their teachers where amazed. And I can see the difference at home as well. My boys are becoming excited about reading. And can now comfortably read on their own.

My boys love Angela. I was nervous that they would grow tired of tutoring but they genuinely enjoy going. She pushes the boys but also incorporates several learning games to keep it fun. I would 100% recommend Angela as a tutor. She is exceptional.
