Our Academic Philosophy
Education isn't "getting you ready" for life... education is life!
Believe it or not, the most successful adults aren’t necessarily the ones who scored the highest on IQ tests when they were young. Studies have shown that it’s actually the students who develop the most resilience in childhood who are better equipped to identify, engage, and ultimately overcome life’s hardships.
Our comprehensive resources are designed to activate intellectual resiliency by integrating reading, writing, math, science, social studies, speaking, listening, and critical thinking. Pardon the brag, but learners of all types and abilities have achieved quantifiable growth using our comprehensive learning processes.
Together, we champion challenge, embrace uncertainty, cultivate curiosity, and celebrate cultural diversity! But don’t let that academic lingo scare you off – we love to have fun, too!
A little about us
My lifelong passion has always been to serve the hearts and minds of young people. I adore teaching, but I also consider myself a perpetual student, having earned Master’s degrees in Counseling and Educational Administration, as well as Bachelor’s degrees in Elementary and Special Education. Across more than 35 years as an educator, I have been fortunate to encounter seemingly every type of learner and learning style. My work has allowed me to present at gifted conferences across the US, most recently at the 23rd Biennial World Council for Gifted and Talented Children (WCGTC) Conference. In 2019, I received one of the greatest honors of my career when I was recognized as Teacher of the Year by the Tennessee Association for the Gifted (TAG) for my work with gifted and talented students. Through my firsthand experience, both personally and professionally, I’ve refined the necessary tools to help your student harness their endless learning potential, while dealing with the hurdles that may come up along the way. With the help of my own family’s wide array of talents and technical savvy, our family-owned-and-operated American small business exists to help make your student’s academic life as bright as possible. I’m profoundly grateful you’re here. Welcome!
