Our Services
Private Tutoring
Tutoring services are personalized to cater to individual students by assessing the needs of each student and developing a plan to fit their academic goals. My focus is on bolstering skills which are the building blocks of education while providing assistance with daily assignments and preparation for upcoming tests.
Traditional and Home School Support programs include:
Organization and Planning
Often organization and planning are the missing link to student success. Developing these skills can greatly limit the stress felt by students and parents.
Project Guidance
I can help break projects into manageable pieces, monitor progress, and offer support.
Targeted Note Taking
Students will be introduced to a variety of note taking techniques and help them decide what method works best for them.
Study Help
We will use a variety of processes to master material for tests. Improved note taking, identifying important details, and practice opportunities.
Practice and Skill Building
We will identify any missing skills or information that need to be addressed for future success and work to remediate in those areas.
Enrichment Activities
Extra work can be done on areas of interest or concern.
Confidence Building
I intentionally build in opportunities for success to build student confidence. This includes working with subject matter that interests the student.

College Counseling
College counseling services will help you identify and navigate your college path. With an individualized approach, we will start where you are and move forward together.
College Counseling Services:
Provide Academic Planning and Support
It is important to start this early. It is much easier to get help to keep grades up than it is to explain low grades in a college application.
Create Personalized College Admissions Timeline
We will help make sure you know what to focus your energy on at each stage of the process. This keeps the process from becoming overwhelming and ensures you don’t miss important deadlines.
Facilitate Individualized Test Prep (SAT/ACT)
There are lots of expensive prep courses out there that offer generic tricks. We will focus on the specific areas you can most improve on to raise your performance on these exams.
Guide College Search
We will help you find the best-fit college for you. Universities that match your interests and academic level where you can thrive and be successful.
Assist in the College Application Process
Gathering the information you need and framing it in the best light can be challenging but we are here to guide you.
Coach Entrance Essay Writing
For some students, the challenge is coming up with meaningful ideas to respond to essay questions. Others need help with editing and clarity. Whatever your challenge is, we can help you find your voice and write essays that will capture the attention of evaluators.
Explain Financial Aid Framework
One of the most daunting aspects of college is figuring out how to best pay the bill. We will help you find the financial aid resources available to you and provide assistance with scholarship searches and applications.
College Transition Support
Once you have accepted admission to the college of your choice, your journey is not over; it is just beginning. We are still here to help if you need us. Common questions and concerns include placement exams, course selection, major/minor selections or changes, and sometimes academic challenges. We can help you learn to navigate the college system and get the most out of your education.
