Where Are They Now:
The students we serve are the reason we do what we do. To know that we, in some part, contributed to their success inspires us to fine-tune our teaching and advising repertoire and creatively push the envelope with our approach to education.
“Tutoring gave me confidence in my own learning abilities and not only taught me how to understand academic material in new ways, but how to study efficiently and achieve my goals.”
– Alex: Communication and Public Affairs + Criminal Justice graduate from Chico State University,
class of 2025 | Saint Mary’s High School, class of 2021
“Tutoring turned my learning experience around. With one-on-one time to learn without eyes on you as in a classroom, I worked with someone who I trusted and who gave me confidence in my abilities. I wouldn’t be the same person without the years of individualized learning outside of the classroom.”
– Cody: International Business Management graduate from the University of Reno, class of 2024 | Saint Mary’s High School, class of 2020
“I grew as a person through the experience working consistently with a tutor. You have someone who serves as a witness of your progress, holds you accountable, and shapes your mindset toward your academic goals.”
– Evie: Film Making major at the University of North Carolina, class of 2028 | Santa Catalina School, class of 2023
“A tutor assisted me when trying to pass many of the classes needed for my college application, particularly Math and Spanish.”
– Gavin: E-Business major at Cal Poly Pomona, class of 2027 | Saint Mary’s High School, class of 2023
“Since experiencing tutoring, I have been able to receive high marks in my other high schoool and college courses.”
– Peter: Liberal Studies major at Stanislaus State, class of 2026 | Bear Creek High School, class of 2020
“Mateo Tutoring not only contributed to me passing math classes in high school but helped me develop a structured work ethic that I use in college.”
– Sam: Business Administration + Psychology major at the University of San Diego, class of 2028 | Saint Mary’s High School, class of 2024
“Tutoring allowed me to get the grades to be successful when applying to college. It also developed my study habits (e.g., moving from easy concepts to difficult ones, producing study guides with key topics, and creating useful practice problems.).”
– Sophia: Psychology major at Loyola Marymount University, class of 2028 | Saint Mary’s High School, class of 2024
“I think I wouldn’t have ended up getting into Wake and getting through some of my classes without the one-on-one tutoring sessions. They made learning things that initially didn’t make sense fun. I needed passing grades in those courses to get here to do the things that I love.”
– Virginia: Critical and Creative Media major + Communication and Creative Writing minor at Wake Forest University,
class of 2025 | Saint Mary’s High School, class of 2021
