Who We Are

  • We Are Educators!

  • We are Academic Coaches!

  • We Are Cheerleaders!

Be Knowledgeable and Current: The education and test prep arena is constantly changing. We pride ourselves on continuously investing time and resources into professional development, staying on top of the latest in ACT/SAT testing, and researching technology trends in education and online instruction in order to provide the best for our families.

Our Mission is to:

Promote Independent Learning: Our goal is to help students find strategies and develop methods of learning so that they can find greater success as independent
learners.

Personalize Instruction: Students all have their own unique learning style, and as such, it is important that instruction and support be personalized for each student.

Help Students to Discover and Understand: It is important that students learn by doing and work to discover answers. As tutors, it is our mission to help discover solutions, not just reveal the solution. Students need to feel safe to make mistakes and to learn from them.

View and Understand from a Student Viewpoint: As tutors, it is important that we put ourselves into the mindset of our students, to understand when they do not, to be empathetic when they feel defeated, and to be encouraging when they are not successful.
