’’ “I got into UCSB today! Still waiting to hear back from UCLA and UCSD. I could not have done this without you, thank you again for all your help these many years, love you!” Update: “I got into UCLA!!!!!”
’’ “Thank you so so much for helping me, you have helped me so much and have given me so much strength to keep pushing on and trying my hardest!”
’’ “… In my personal experiences with Mrs. Shackelford, students who report to her regularly, show double the growth of those who need assistance but do not seek it out.” “…. Students walk away from Mrs. Shackelford’s with new-found confidence in their skills due to her attention to detail and passion for teaching. I highly recommend the services that she provides.”
’’ I just want to thank you again for everything. I am relishing in this huge sense of relief and a weight off my shoulders knowing you are there to help with my kid’s homework and truly understanding the work to create the strong foundation that they need to conquer these tasks on their own. I can’t even describe to you the happiness in our house right now. Thank you for counseling me and showing the kids that learning is fun and instilling the confidence that they are smart and confident and they can do anything they put their minds to. Before you came in to their lives School and homework automatically put a black cloud over all of us. There was resistance and frustration. Sorry for the novel but I am want you to know the depth of my gratitude 🙏
’’ “My son just finished up 1st grade with a 4 in English Language Arts. At the beginning of the year he had a 2 and did not like school at all. He started with Mrs. Kris and I could almost immediately see a difference in his confidence. She has made learning fun for him. She is great. “
’’ “I started seeing Mrs. Shackelford when I had an F in my Math class. Just after 2 visits I already had an A+ and she also helped me gain confidence in my overall academic learning. If you are ever looking for a tutor she is the one to call! She also makes it really fun!!”
’’ “Thank you so much. You have honestly been like a second grandmother to Kenji. He tells me of the conversations you guys have and trust me he doesn’t even talk to me. You have been a god send and I know for a fact you’re an angel. “
’’ “I started going to Mrs. Shackelford this year for help in pre-calculus and she has really helped me understand the subject. My grade has greatly improved, and she is very positive and reassuring. She has taught me test taking strategies that have really helped and has also told me what classes to take for college. Now she is tutoring my younger brother who’s in 7th grade, and helping him with his math.”
’’ “I have been using Kris Shackelford as a tutor for 1 year. Both my kids love going to her because she is loving, encouraging and she makes learning fun. She has taught them reading comprehension skills and math. Both kids have raised their grades significantly. One was in danger of failing, and now he is excelling.”
’’ “I started going to Mrs. Shackelford in 6th grade and I’m now an honor student thanks to her encouragement and help. She has also recommended the correct classes to take next year so I’ll be able to attend a prestigious university.”
