Meet the Business Owner

Barbara D.

Business Owner

I am a teacher with forty years of experience in the teaching profession. I am passionate about moving children in their learning from a pattern of struggle to one of success. We do not promise overnight success, but we do see that as emotional intelligence improves, so does the academic confidence and performance. I have taught in a local independent college preparatory school for the past thirteen years and prior to that in schools dedicated to students with learning needs. My present work is in language arts for students with language-​based learning differences. We prepare our students to achieve in the demands of college preparatory curriculum and then to matriculate to institutions of higher learning.
