Tutoring & Test Prep

Academic success and increased test scores require these 3 things:

1. Content knowledge to find correct answers

2. Usable strategies to identify correct answers

3. Confidence to use the knowledge and strategies

Doc around the Block Tutoring and Test Prep offers proven-effective and cost-conscious services to improve academic and test performance.

I specialize in working with student athletes, students with disabilities, and students with diverse learning styles and needs.

I offer small-group sessions in addition to individual sessions. Small-group sessions are equally effective, giving students the benefit of both individualized instruction and learning with peers.
