"Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.
Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime."
Tutoring and homework help are like giving a student a fish. They get the student through today, but tomorrow, the same problems remain.
At Langsford, our testing figures out precisely where the underlying problem is, and then we strengthen the student's skills in that specific area. We teach our students to fish. We give our students the skills they need for long-lasting success.
We call this "The Langsford Difference."
On this blog, we frequently feature former students who have contacted us to let us know how well they are doing and how thankful they are. We thought it might be helpful to collect in one place some of the older students' stories of long-lasting success. Read and be inspired. And congratulations to them all!

Feb. 11, 2009 --- Thanks again for your contribution to my child's success story! At each grading period of my daughter's school career, my thoughts go to Langsford... She was able to achieve a 4.14 GPA this quarter in her Freshman year... For a child who wasn't really reading until 3rd grade, this is a success story! She is reaching her potential and it is a joy to watch!"
--- Lynn J., Parent & Public School Educator
Nov. 13, 2008 --- "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the great outcome [my son] has had from his time there. It has changed his life in so many ways. He is turning 17 Saturday and he is inviting about 11 kids over for a "Risk" tournament. Several new friends are on the list from school. It has helped him academically as well. He got all A's this quarter and is so confident now. ... Hope the word [about Langsford] continues to get out."
