LOVE LETTERS

The guidance and support we have received for our daughter has been above and beyond what we expected. She is a much more organized and confident student, which makes her an all around happier child. You are exactly what we needed and [we] are so thankful. Our daughter came out of 1st quarter will all A's, but more importantly, with a great sense of accomplishment. No stress because she knew she was going in strong and had the tools to study smarter--not longer. You are our angel and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Parents of a 10th grade public school student

Lorie has taught my children executive function skills that they have somehow not developed or been taught through the regular schooling experience. Lorie is patient, kind, and effective, and I would recommend her service to any child or adult who wants to go from being strong to being exceptional.

Parent of 8th and 10th grade students

Lorie’s influence and coaching have renewed a drive in our son to not give up, to not give in, but to give it his all!

Mother of independent school student

Lorie was the first person to ever tell me it was okay to learn in a different way than my teachers expected. That changed everything.

11th grade student

Our daughter and our tutor can easily follow the BLUBERYL educational design, and progress is measurable.

Mother of 8th grade student

My patients and I are grateful for Lorie's astute assessment of client needs,
and her ability to match them with the most relevant and effective strategies.
Her contributions to my patients’ growth have been life-changing for them
and greatly appreciated by me.

H. Bradley, Psychologist

Lorie embodies a unique blend of insight, compassion,
and smarts that is simply invaluable.

Homeschool mom

BLUBERYL brought a whole new sense of organization and structure to our company. They understand today’s business world and implemented strategies to create efficient and productive procedures in our daily and overall operations. We operate at a higher level of professionalism thanks to great work of Danielle and Lorie!

S. Brown, Vice President of Operations, Arenhall Management, LLC

Thanks for being awesome.

Parent of teen

VICTORY. This is a kid who has worked with others and thought calendaring was a pretty stupid idea. #neverworks changed to #thisisawesome!

Parent of 8th grade independent school student who found success with the BLUBERYL BIG Get Organized Calendar System™

Lorie and her team are fantastic: seasoned, warm, approachable, brilliant—especially when it comes to kids who need to get organized. I'd DEFINITELY trust them with my own children and have recommended BLUBERYL over and over. In fact, I had a kid come in the other day for an initial consult and his grades were all over the map...no sense of organization. My first thought was, boy, does he need BLUBERYL. What a relief to learn he was already working with them.

C. McNeal, McNeal College Consulting

Our plan looks wonderful! I’m so excited that my son will be organized. He wants to do well and this will help for sure.

Mother of 9th grade student at competitive preparatory school

I am wrapping up the end of a really productive day and I just want to say THANK YOU! Already I feel so in control and on top of my work. Instead of asking myself, “How am I going to get all of this done?” and, “Why am I even doing this?” and, “Where do I even begin?” I'm asking myself, “Okay, what am I going to do this hour?” I feel in control.

1st year student at highly selective college, following first BLUBERYL meeting

Thanks, Lorie. You are unfailingly positive ☺.

Mother of two BLUBERYL students

Our son loves working with you and we are so blessed to have found you!

Father of 6th grade parochial school student

I can’t count how many times a wash of relief comes over me just by thinking about Lorie and the role she is playing in our lives.

Homeschool mother of three

When I was a sophomore, Lorie at BLUBERYL taught me how to use Quizlet in a way that made it feel fun and not as much like work. Entering terms with someone else feels like playing a game and makes me more motivated to study. I'm also much better at going through all of my notes and textbooks before a test because of the way I learned to enter terms into the program. Also, learning when to enter the terms and how best to do this for my learning style has really helped. I know that I've been doing better on exams because of this.

12th grade student at a public high school

It is with deep appreciation that I thank Lorie and her team. Through their ingenious tools and true understanding of my son’s needs, not only did he become more confident, enthusiastic, and successful in his studies, I learned how to support and work with him in ways I never imagined. Thank you, BLUBERYL!!

Mother of 10th grade public school student

Lorie is a gift to students everywhere. Our daughter adores her. Lorie is one of those rare individuals who knows exactly what a student needs to feel confident, optimistic and motivated. She encourages them to call upon their innate abilities and gifts, and teaches them how to face challenges effectively. Lorie’s genuine respect for children of all ages helps them believe in themselves. She creates a positive, upbeat, and nurturing atmosphere that ensures successful outcomes. Thank you for you, Lorie!

Homeschool mother of teen

Lorie Kram is an absolute gift to every family seeking to improve their child’s educational experience.

Homeschool mother

Hands on, and with a tremendous ability to connect with their clients, Lorie Kram and her team at BLUBERYL truly transform lives. Their impressive strengths-based approach, coupled with their proven tools, allow students and adults to unwrap their gifts and soar well beyond expectations. My own son is a BLUBERYL client and I encourage our Hallowell Center patients to enlist their life-changing support. Lorie and BLUBERYL are in the important business of unleashing potential, allowing folks to discover their best. They are one organization that just really gets it!

Dr. Edward Hallowell, Psychiatrist & Leading ADHD Authority

Thanks Loriiiiiiiiie. Lecture today was dramatically different in a good way. Thanks again.

Graduate Student after first day of following BLUBERYL system

Our son was having mixed results academically at a private grade school when we were referred to BLUBERYL. Our friend's son had made great strides with BLUBERYL as the catalyst. Our son immediately clicked with Lorie and she quickly identified his learning style and abilities. Her knowledge of other local public and private options, combined with her understanding of our son’s strengths, enabled us to choose the right school for him.

Mother of elementary school student

You are a true angel. She’s back in gear. Thank you!!

Mother of 1st year college student

I enthusiastically refer children and adolescents to BLUBERYL and receive universally positive feedback. Lorie and her team make significant differences in my clients' lives as they experience increased efficacy in their school performance and, thus, higher self-regard.

C. Jones, Therapist

Competence, compassion, and connection are the words that come to mind when I think about Lorie and her work.

Mother of 8th grade student

I’m really excited to be making time for the things I care about. I wanted to also let you know that I not only passed all of my classes but I scored the highest on my calculus exam—breaking the curve!

1st year college student

I have some updates for you.
I got a B+ on theology, an A on my English paper, and a 100 on my math test!
See you tomorrow?

8th grade student

Lorie’s passion for helping students thrive rather than just survive the educational process and her gentle guidance to parents are amazing.

Mother of independent school student

Thank YOU, Lorie. It was super helpful to meet with you today. Thank you, again. You are amazing. With love and appreciation.

Mother of four

Thank you, Lorie! Love your perspective and reality. So thankful for you at this point in our lives. You have no idea!

Mother of three teens

Lorie is awesome! She gives me tools and has shown me new ways to use my skills at school and in real life. She is fun to work with and we always have a good time!

2nd year college student

Lorie’s first concern was our son.
Her loving, caring approach won him over immediately
and gently built up his confidence,
allowing him to discover his strengths and celebrate his differences.

Mother of independent school student

This is a great system that I can already see working very well for me and I'm grateful to have the chance to work with you!

1st year student at highly selective college, following first meeting with BLUBERYL

Lorie has a good handle on the big picture and brings a treasure trove of relevant tips and ideas for the boys and me to mull over.

Homeschool mother

My son says, “The BIG calendar helps me get prepared and know what I need to do today and tomorrow! I feel more accomplished completing big assignments and wasn't in a complete rush!”

Mother of middle school student

Thank you, again, Lorie, for all you did for our daughter! Her mom and I are eternally grateful. See you soon!

Father, just before daughter’s graduation from her highly selective college

You have great ideas and a clear plan. Thank you so much for working with my son!

Mother of 9th grade independent school student

"When I determine that a person needs help with executive functioning skills
such as time management, increased efficiency, and task completion,
I know that Lorie is the best person to help my clients.”

J. Russell, PhD

Thank you for all of your help! I got in!!!!
