About
Level Up Academic Strategies is a tiny tutoring group started by twin sisters who love teaching. Together we have over 20 years of experience teaching English Language Arts, history/social studies, writing skills, communication skills, study skills and more to students in middle school, high school, and beyond. We're kinda nerdy, very detail oriented, probably overeducated and always ready to make learning as fun and painless as possible as we help you take your academic performance to the next level. If you're willing to set goals and do your best, we can get you there!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We like to know what a student is most passionate about—not just in school, but "IRL" (in 'real' life). The first step is building a relationship by finding some common ground and getting to know each other. Next, we focus on learning about strengths and challenge areas before setting some clear and concrete goals, both short and long term.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Each of us hold two BA degrees, a Master's degree, and several teaching licensures. Our expertise includes teaching honors, A.P., and accelerated courses in addition to inclusion-based special education classes.
