Personal Statement

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Iowa.
For 14 years, I homeschooled my two sons from K-12th grade. As result of my instruction for the ACT, my younger son scored a composite score of 32 on his only attempt and my older son scored 31 and 33 on two attempts.

Reviews

She is a wonderful, caring tutor who goes the extra mile. Our daughter really enjoyed her test prep session with her. Sharon was able to pinpoint the areas my daughter needed help with, helping her improve her scores.

I?m literally a bit emotional typing this review bc my 13 year old daughter suffers from anxiety. She was not looking forward to her tutoring session and tried everything to get it canceled. Which is why I am so proud to say she was engaged and motivated throughout the 2 hour session. Sharon?s energy and excitement about teaching was contagious. My daughter ended the session with Sharon by telling me she wanted me to book again in the future and that she is looking forward to her upcoming HSPT. I will be referring all family and friends.

She is very patient and understanding but also very firm. She always follow up with additional work and so the kids can follow up through out the week. Great tutor!!

Sharon has been our biggest support during the college application process. She helped my daughter with her ACT, college essay outline, and opened my daughter's brain to more ideas. My daughter was accepted at Yale and Harvard , and Sharon played a huge role in that process. She doesn?t overpower your voice, instead making an effort to understand your perspective and leaving elaborate comments on how you could better get a point across. Sharon provides great energy and support to keep you going. She is truly dedicated to your success, and I highly recommend her!

Ms Sharon is homeschooling my 4 year old son and I see his progression daily. I told her his dad's and my educational goals specific to our baby and she has delivered in an organized an efficient manner. She comes and gets down to business while remaining patient and allowing my boy to be a boy. Ms. Sharon has my son sounding words out, therefore reading, and reaching educational milestones beyond his level. I love the summary at the end of each lesson that includes me in his learning and shows me exactly what he's learned and what's to come. Ms. Sharon is very knowledgeable in all subjects, and very kind and understanding. She feels like family already. My son and I are looking forward to learning with Ms Sharon for years to come.

My daughter has had about 5 sessions with Ms. Sharon and she loves her. She has never felt this confident to discuss what she learned. She always feels embarrassed to answer questions because of the possibility of being wrong. Ms. Sharon has boost her confidence level and I?m getting positive reports from her Reading and Math teachers about the progress she has made. We plan to continue to allow Ms. Sharon to work with our daughter to get her back on track since the covid 19 pandemic. She?s great and has done an amazing job with Shauntae

Sharon is great, she recognizes where my daughter struggles in math and concentrates on that area, along with helping her with other areas in math. I think with Sharon help my daughter will get better and succeed in math. My daughter is always excited for tutoring days, and getting the help she needs.
- Latika W. from Chicago, IL
Sharon went above and beyond the call of duty in every aspect! In our first lesson she spent about ten minutes getting to know my son, chatting about pets and siblings. She easily engaged him and set him at ease. She then worked very hard with him, expending a great amount of effort to determine exactly what he needed and challenge him without frustrating him. Before and after lesson her communication with me (parent) was through, professional, and kind. Best tutoring experience ever. Highly recommend!
