Testimonials and Results

Prosper's ability to connect & engage with a very frustrated & confused 12 year old has been pure magic, and a major relief as my own relationship with my child was suffering unnecessarily over school work.

We were struggling with organization, missing assignments & deadlines, and falling grades. Prosper has been the glue that kept everything together. She met virtually with my child weekly to identify, organize, and prioritize all assignments. They spend time reviewing work, tutoring where my child struggles, and complete the most important projects first. Prosper helped set up short & long term project goals so that we are not scrambling at the last minute to turn in work.

We went from mediocre or barely passing grades with multiple missing assignments, to HONOR ROLL in less than 2 terms!!!  I believe Prosper has helped my child reach their full potential as a student, and feel accomplished and proud at the same time!

But beyond GPA, I feel that Prosper is teaching my child (and me) organizational life & learning skills that will serve both of us well into the future."
