I had extreme difficulty passing the RICA. Mrs. Lane was kind enough to tutor me by any means. This involved phone conversations and one to one in person tutoring. She offered new ways to look at questions and great strategies to answer essay questions effectively. I urge anyone taking the RICA to contact her first to ensure the best opportunity to pass the RICA on your first try! Happy studying!

I am so grateful to Tina. Before seeking out her help and guidance I had taken the RICA twice, and failed while not increasing my score at all. After meeting with her, even just once, I felt like a had a whole new understanding of the test. After a total of three sessions I took and passed the RICA, all thanks to Tina! I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking to pass the RICA.

After failing the RICA four times, I felt like I was never going to pass. When I found Tina, I was hoping she would give me tips, tricks, and test-taking strategies. She far exceeded my expectations! I had memorized and studied everything out there but didn’t know how to apply it in the manner the test required. Tina gave me the tools, the trigger words, and the application to pass the test. To top it off, she validates your frustration toward the test because it really challenges your mental stamina and self-esteem! Save your frustration and use Tina!

Tina is amazing! I had one session with her and she individualized it to focus on my needs. She helped me become more knowledgeable with the case study and highlighted how it should be mapped out. I highly recommend her because she helped me pass the RICA!

Dr. Tina Lane is a reading expert! I took the RICA 6 times and was so discouraged. I did not know what I was doing wrong. Teaching is my life and passion. I wanted to continue my dream of teaching students to read. Dr. Lane tutored me on the phone for two of my sub tests. She is so kind, brilliant, and passionate about wanting you to succeed. Her love for reading shines. After every session, I felt more confident with the RICA tests. She helped me think about the multiple-choice in a different light and walked me through every step of the case study and written responses. After every session, I signed up for the sub test and passed each time. Thank you Dr. Lane for helping me become a better reading teacher to my students. I am grateful to you. You are a blessing. I will be forever grateful and recommend it to anyone looking to be be successful. Thank you, Dr. Tina Lane!

I had felt so defeated after trying the RICA multiple times and not passing. I thought being tutored would be silly because I had so many different resources already. I was wrong. Dr. Lane helped me approach the the RICA from different angles that were simple and direct. I passed my needed RICAs (2 and 3) immediately after meeting with her. Don’t think twice when asking for help! Dr. Lane is the best person to go to! This will be the best best decision you make and the fastest track to passing!

God bless,
