Tutoring Pros Tutoring Pros In response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic we have chosen to assist our students strictly via web-based platforms to protect the family’s we serve.

We academically prepare students to sit for college and graduate school entrance exams (ACT / SAT, GRE, MCAT) while simultaneously coaching them through the psychological challenges that emerge as they are maturing into a self-reliant achiever! Our coaching foundation is based on the Situational Leadership II ideology recognizing that as students academically develop our coaching methods must chan

ge in accord with their needs. We train students to develop and rely on academic analytical skills that: advance their abilities to edit written works, develop critical readers, transform one’s math abilities to analyze and conceive conceptual application-based situations, and develop their scientific analytical skills to process experimental data. Preparation cannot be taken lightly furthermore one must be dedicated to investing the time, and effort necessary to improve scores because they are unlike typical course exams. The results will help students improve their college or graduate school entrance exam (ACT / SAT / GRE / MCAT) scores and increase their chances of being awarded college scholarships! If you would like to contact me for advice you can call or text 281-910-1744. I do not answer the phone or reply to text while helping students; please leave a detailed message and a best time to contact you. I respond to messages between students. We are currently redesigning our website and it will be functional within the next couple of weeks.
