Recently I helped a student earn her first passing grade on a math test.  Before working with me she had earned only D grades on math tests.  She spent 6 months at Huntington Learning Center in Bothell working 6 hours every week, and still earned only a D.  We worked together for only 1 month, 3 hours a week, and she passed her first test ever in math.  She EARNED a B!  You go girl!

What is the difference?

I do not offer Programs.

I offer my ability to closely observe an individual learner and improve upon weaknesses, support strengths, talk warmly about it all, and laugh.  I offer people the opportunity to grow from where they are at, not where they are “supposed to be”.  I accept students for who they are.   With complete acceptance, students feel safe to move forward.

There can be no forward movement when there is fear.  There is bravery in success.  There is fearlessness in being willing to fail.  And try again.
