I specialize in providing personalized test preparation and tutoring services for students facing challenges such as test anxiety and ADHD, using effective strategies and top-notch resources to help them achieve their academic goals.
Please contact me directly using the form below for pricing, dates, and course availability. I tutor seven days a week from 10 am to 8 pm CST to allow for maximum flexibility for busy students and families.
I’m old school, and research still proves that students learn best from putting pencil to paper. Whether it is in person (Memphis area) or virtual, all students receive paper materials based on their individualized needs and scoring/academic goals. These range from personalized binders for full test prep programs to targeted/skill-specific exercises, access to online math programs, updated section test strategies, and full length section tests and keys for both hands-on and private practice. Virtual sessions are conducted via Zoom.
Students also receive access to a library of study videos for additional enrichment and a fully-stocked Google Classroom.
Additional assistance can address test anxiety, mindfulness practices for studying and testing, breathwork, self-esteem/confidence coaching, scholarship assistance, and college planning/application timelines and guidance.
This is NOT one-sized-fits-all, “red book” prep. Each student’s personal, academic, and testing information are carefully reviewed and analyzed to create an individualized plan for success that involves both parents/students and myself. This is a team effort.
Parents and students receive professional weekly feedback on all sessions with careful monitoring up to the exam.
Test Prep programs range from 6-hours to 20+ hours based on individual needs and budgets. Resources vary from program to program. Academic tutoring is hourly. I also provide virtual and in-person small group ACT prep workshops throughout the year.
I am also professionally certified in hypnosis, guided imagery, and more to assist students in reducing test stress and anxieties, and to improve test performance, confidence and information recall. This service can be scheduled separately if you are interested.
