Ricky S. says, "Honestly, I don't think I would have passed my certification without High Peak Education. Paul was amazing - seriously so patient with me even though I probably asked a million questions. He never made me feel dumb or rushed, which was huge for me. I was really struggling with some of the material and getting pretty stressed about the test, but Paul just had this way of explaining things that finally made it click. He didn't just throw information at me - he actually made sure I got it before moving on. The whole experience was way better than I expected. I actually felt prepared going into my test instead of just hoping for the best. And I passed! If you're thinking about using them for your certification prep, definitely do it. Paul knows his stuff and genuinely cares about helping you succeed. Can't ask for much more than that." Read more

I have been tutoring students since high school, continuing through Ivy League schooling, and continuously on the side while working as a patent attorney, engineer, and computer developer.

I have a PhD in mathematics and I love to show people math is not just about calculations and techniques. Math can be fun, exciting and immensely rewarding. My approach is not to show kids the steps to solving specific problems - this knowledge usually doesn't last past the nearest test. To do well in math, they need to understand the topic in depth, be able to approach a problem from different angles, break it down into manageable parts, identify the gaps in their knowledge, and eventually be ready to learn independently. For kids who love math and are not challenged enough in school I can offer homeschooling and online learning support, rec...

As a PhD student in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology I love to help students solidify basic foundations in STEM that apply to higher education in STEM. I have been through just about every level of education and understand the keys to success at each level. I had a frustrating time in college when professors would use even bigger science words to describe a scientific word or concept I didn't understand. When teachers and tutors fail to make connections to known outside concepts, it is difficult to even want to pay attention. That's why I particularly enjoy making topics that are boring and difficult to understand accessible to ...

I got my Bachelor's from the University of Denver, double majoring in Math and Theatre. I graduated Summa Cum Laude as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Throughout college I assisted my friends and classmates and found that I really enjoyed helping others understand the material we were learning. Since then, I have worked with kids ranging from elementary school through high school, as well as young adults well into college. While helping students understand the more technical aspects of math, I love to bring in what I have learned through my experiences in theatre. This means getting to know each student individually, what they are passionate and

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.
