As a licensed teacher and certified, Professional Level, Educational Therapist she knows how important it is to have the right educational tools to support learning.

Simply put, I enjoy success for children! Making fast progress is important to parents and so I incorporate daily, online programs for students to work on between our weekly meetings. Keeping the student motivated and staying in touch with teachers and parents is the key to quick gains and confidence in students! My hourly rate is $60 an hour for much more than tutoring, I offer targeted learning and remediation.

    My son has benefitted greatly from only a few meetings with Mrs. Julie. He is beginning to understand new concepts that have always been difficult for him without becoming frustrated or wanting to quit. He loves going to his appointments and always comes home excited about what he has learned and where he is on his points chart which helps to motivate him as well. We are very pleased with his progress and the work that he is doing with Mrs. Julie.

    The Academic Center works with students, parents and teachers to build strong relationships building a team to conquer learning gaps. Ms. Julie has a heart for students and believes that all students can learn. We are happy to have her working with our son to overcome challenges during a very stressful time in education.

    My son struggles with organizational strategies which impacts his grades in the classroom. The Academic Center works closely with him to monitor progress and communicate with teachers in a professional manner to assist in his learning progress. I have seen a direct correlation between his grades with and without the service and we are glad to give the Academic Center a high rating based on the improvement shown in grades. Parents are busy juggling so many things these days and it’s a blessing to have a professional service take part of that load off our plates. Ms. Julie has a heart of gold and not only assists students educationally she also works with them to develop relationships and mentors with positive skills as a loving role model.

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to start with an academic assessment of the concern areas and then work specifically toward those areas while implementing the new strategies in to school work.  

    I also have a Release of Information form that the parent signs and sends to the school so that I can stay in touch with the teacher and support the student as a team.

    My background includes an undergraduate degree in Education as well as a Master's Level degree.  I have been a licensed Ed. Therapist since 1995 and have taught in both public and private schools.

    My standard pricing is ~$40 per 50 minute session.  

    My mother was a teacher and I was able to witness the love of teaching.  I also had a child who struggled academically and socially that I was able to help succeed!

    I have worked with all ages, 5-45!  Further, the students are always kids from the regular classrrom setting but may have areas that they struggle with, or may have missed somewhere in their learning.

    This is easy and I am lucky to see them often!  I am currently working with a kindergartner who was just not picking up phonics in his classroom.  Testing showed serious deficits in phonics, but after 3 weeks of twice a week sessions and a daily software program at home, it clicked!  He got it, the light came on!  That is always my greatest joy, whether they are 5 or 45!

    Look for more than credentials, look for a tutor that is passionate for a student's growth and learning.  Look for a tutor that you like, someone personable, afterall you are going to have to work hard with this person...you should like them!  

    Ask how can they teacher help them identify exactly what they need to work on?

    Ask if they will be in touch with your classroom teacher for additional input and support.

    Ask what can YOU do to achieve better learning?
