What People are Saying…

  • "Devon’s genuine character and caring personality combined with outstanding organizational skills allow her to custom tailor the varying needs of each student. She was already highly successful at this in a classroom with 20+ students, so her small group and one on one expertise is next level. It’s way beyond the tutoring. The true magic is the safe relationship she builds and the confidence she instills in her students to excel and succeed. Her students respect and trust her fully and most importantly learn to respect and trust themselves. She has a gift and truly makes a difference."

  • "I feel extremely fortunate that my son is in his fifth year working with Devon to enhance, prepare, build on and reinforce curriculum that is taught and assigned by his teachers at school. He feels that Devon teaches materials in a way that is easy to follow, understand and learn. Devon creates a strong bond with her students by taking interest in activities that they like to do outside of school and getting to know what makes them "tick" whether in or outside the classroom. This attention results in their focus and work hard during the tutoring session."

  • "Within weeks of working with Devon, we had a better understanding of my child's areas of opportunity and strengths as well as things we could do to further support him in his day to day classroom/school experience. In just two months, we have had a very high-touch/caring experience with Devon. We have also seen our son's motivation increase to master the work Devon sends home for him on a weekly basis. If you are looking for a very empathetic, personalized, and thoughtful tutoring experience to help you navigate academic challenges for your child, Devon's it!"

She was able to identify areas of challenge and where he needed the most support very quickly. The difference working with Devon has made from this school year to last year is night and day. Our son is finally developing confidence that he can be successful in middle school."

  • "Devon is an incredible tutor and we feel so lucky to have her for our three children. First, each of my children has a special bond with her and there is never a day where they are not excited for tutoring- I don't think this is the norm with tutoring. She makes learning fun and accessible and caters the experience to each of their unique learning needs. She has gone the extra mile and has communicated with teachers on our child's behalf to ensure consistency. Devon is also extremely organized and somehow manages to keep track of my children's test schedules better than I can. I know that Devon cares deeply about my children's academic development and takes pride in seeing them progress and succeed. She deserves a lot of credit for their development. I know she cares for my children a great deal. I really can't imagine there being a better tutor- we feel very lucky to have her."

  • "Devon has completely turned math around for our 6th grader. For the first time, she truly enjoys attending her tutoring sessions and has really connected with Devon, which has led to a more positive outlook and growth mindset in an area where she has struggled for years. I cannot recommend Devon and her team enough. She has been an absolute critical part of our child’s academic progress, confidence and resilience in overcoming school challenges. Thank you Devon!"
