Philosophy
I am a big believer that every student is different. An approach that may work for one student, may not work for another. All students have different needs in order to grow their test taking abilities. Whether this growth is accomplished through nurturing academic skills, alleviating testing anxiety, or providing techniques to decipher the test, finding the specific domain for growth will help students in meaningful ways.
Testimonials
“Thank you so much for the amazing session you had with my son. I can honestly say he has never responded so positively about learning and says it’s the first time he really believes in himself academically. My son is a great kid, but has struggled in school and is often down on himself becuase of it. Thank you for empowering and motivating him. He went from barely wanting the first session, to asking that we book time with you every week.”
~Mom of a Senior at Jackson-Reed High School
