    We LOVE the team at Engaged Academics and have thoroughly enjoyed working with them. Our daughter looks forward to her sessions and has no idea she’s working ahead on school work and building a variety of traditional and non-traditional skills that will benefit her for a lifetime.

    I would like to thank you for helping Joseph thrive academically. Your continuous encouragement towards his work in Math class has helped him develop a strong self-confidence. As a result of your advice to believe in his abilities he is currently taking Algebra I and Geometry during his ninth grade year and enthusiastic about both of them. It is my firm belief that your advice has strengthened his determination to establish a strong academic record and be involved in a variety of activities at school. Thank you so much for your reinforcement and support.

    During our consultation meeting with Engaged Academics founder, Lance Davis, we were immediately impressed by the balance of their belief in work hard and be kind and using data to better understand the struggling students motivation, challenges, and areas for growth.
    He worked to carefully pair my daughter with an experienced educator, Ms. Retha Lee, who could not only help her with the academics needs but also boost self-confidence that had diminished over time. Their approach to helping the whole child, not just improving grades, was exactly what my child needed.
    And the bonus...her grades improved too! I would highly recommend Lance and his team of professionals to any parent/student who is looking for academic help.

    We are one of your biggest fans and hopefully success stories. Zach has been amazing for Carson... I think sometimes it just takes someone other than parents believing in a child that gives them the confidence to push through and come out on top.
    When we started with Engaged Academics Carson’s fifth-grade teachers wanted to hold him back, which we vehemently disagreed with. Subsequently, Carson ended up in a remedial reading class and all general studies.
    Now, 3 9 weeks in and he’s got the highest Lexile in his reading class (8th-grade level) and his math teacher wants him to move to advanced math next year. He’s already started assigning Carson extra math to prepare him for this. We are going to push for advanced science as well for next year.
    A far cry from the little boy they wanted to hold back last year. Thank you very much for your role in his progress. We sing your (and Zach’s) praises every day and to anyone who will listen. - Erin Gordon
    I highly recommend Mr. Davis! He was my sons science teacher and he helped him tremendously.

    Mr. Davis is one of the most passionate, creative educators I’ve seen in my 22 years working in schools. He integrates technology, differentiates instruction, and recognizes that each of his students is an individual, with specific strengths, weaknesses and academic needs.
    He is passionate about math, but even more passionate about kids. He understands that a great teacher not only teaches the subject matter well, but motivates and inspires kids to be great human beings in addition to great students. I wish my son, now 23 years old, had been given the opportunity to learn from a guy like Mr. Davis.

    Frequently asked questions

    Our process is simple. We start with a quick phone consult to understand your child's needs. After this, we place you with who we believe will be the best tutor to help your child be most successful.  Then, we get to work.  

    Each of our teachers is certified and has spent many years teaching in the classroom. The majority of our teachers are still classroom teachers.

    The minimum requirement to work with Engaged Academics is a bachelor's degree and teacher certification. 

    Most of our online tutoring rates are $40. Advanced mathematics and AP classes are more.  

    After spending many years as a licensed electrical contractor, I was seeking more fulfillment from my career. This lack of satisfaction led to me taking some education courses and falling in love with the craft. I complete a bachelor's in education and also a Master's in Educational Phycology, specifically ISLT. ISLT stands for Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies. 

    After teaching several years in the classroom, I craved making a more substantial impact with students by identifying critical areas of concern and then closing those gaps to create greater academic success. 

    We work with students in grades K-12. It does not matter if the student is ESE, Autistic, defiant, or has any other diverse learning need, we can help. 

    I highly recommend hiring a teacher and not a tutor. A teacher can more rapidly assess and close the academic gap due to their training and understanding of how people learn.
