Services

I pride myself on providing a wide array of educational services from specialized remediation to SAT and ACT preparation. There is so much involved in a student’s academic journey, and I believe strongly in focusing on all aspects of that student. In this way, I can prepare him or her for success in school and during the testing phase. I also assist in helping your student navigate the college application process. I will work with your child virtually or in person.

What they’re saying:

“Thanks Susan. You have been enormously helpful in this, and I truly appreciate your expertise — and understanding of the subject. She was singing your praises last night at the dinner table … there is no question she has really enjoyed working with you. … and deeply appreciates all the help and direction you’ve given her. (She was so proud that she was finishing up her applications now — and not a month or two later!) You have been a guiding voice in my daughter’s development over the last few months. It has also been wonderful for me to watch. I’ll definitely keep in touch. Thank you!”
“Just wanted to say thanks on all the work you did with my child. We feel she is very prepared, and she appreciated all your help. She will keep you posted how things go. Thank you.”
