From Shana, Founder and Parent:

I have been working with students for over 20 years, receiving my education from Cal Poly Pomona with a B.S/ M.S and another degree (M.Ed) from the University of La Verne.  Professional development certificates:

• Independent Educational Consultant from University of Irvine 
• Accommodating Students with Disabilities
• Postsecondary Reading & Learning
• Online Teaching

My educational philosophy is deeply rooted with the idea of "caring" as its core.  I believe and care for each student as an individual who has many talents.  I welcome and celebrate the diversity of my students, recognizing that each is a unique individual who deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. 

My experience as a college professor, tutor and Independent College Consultant outside the classroom gives direct insight of what is needed to be successful in college. I'm passionate about helping high school students continue on a path of learning.

I have two young adults, one at Iowa State studying Software Engineering and another at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) majoring in Environmental Engineering.
