I first started tutoring in college because a friend asked for help in economics statistics. She told me I was so helpful tgat she insist on paying me. I refused, but then when my children became students, I found great satisfaction in helping them with their subjects throughout elementary and secondary school. I tutored all 4 of them for their ACT and SAT and each achieved an average increase in their scores of about 33%. My son earned a full ride scholarship as a result! His soccer team heard of his success and all the parents started asking for my services and I happily served his whole soccer team. Aftwrwards, I found myself with time on my hands, so I decided to volunteer at our local test prep center just because I truly enjoyed the process of learning with my students. I became nationally certified through them and have been tutoring ever since. I have now tutored over 300 students ranging from really struggling students to valedictorians. This test requires coaching as with anything in life! We can all learn from experience and a caring coach!

All ages from K - 16, all levels from ADHD to Hyperfocused, from failing students to valedictorians. I’ve worked with all types successfully.

One ADHD-diagnosed student achieved a 34 on his ACT after scoring 21 on his first attempt. 6 months with me, and he added 13 points to his score, earned a half tuition scholarship, and writes me today thanking me for my help along his journey! Go John!

Remember: “There's no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher.” My philosophy is this: I work for you. Not you for me. It is my job to understand you, how you best learn, how best to connect the material to your brain, and give you everything you need to grow. It’s just your job to show up with a good, hard-working, patient attitude, and the magic can happen. If a tutor gives you the sense he/she is not helping you every step along the way, it’s time to consider a different tutor. I like to offer my students a free session to start to “try me out” to make sure we gel and fit and communicate. A tutor who doesn’t offer that has got the wrong focus. My focus is on you. Because my sessions and your relationship with me is always all about you!

1. What exactly am I struggling with? 2. What do I get and what don’t I get? 3. How best do I think a coach can help me?
