Testimonials
From our first encounter, I was reassured that my child was in quality hands with Alysha. She takes the time to understand how they learn and fully grasps that every child learns differently.
Alysha is always finding ways to help the families of her students and advocating for them. Alysha’s passion for her work and her students is evident.
Founding Academix has allowed Alysha to branch out and help more families in an ‘all-inclusive’ way. She continues to be our family’s rock. She cares deeply about my daughter’s emotional needs and helps champion my child’s confidence in her ability to learn.
My daughter has worked with numerous tutors throughout her education but never really excelled until she started working with Alysha, who is like no other. Alysha is incredibly intuitive to the needs of my child and always tailors the session to make the subject comprehensible for my daughter. Alysha knows when her students understand as opposed to when they are simply memorizing. My daughter loves working with Alysha and has thrived under Alysha’s care. She simply will not leave any stones unturned when it comes to her students’ well-being.
We first started with Alysha when my kids entered a new school, and I was bombarded with the learning issues my children had. From the moment we began, Alysha became a pillar of strength in our life.
Not only did she help my kids TREMENDOUSLY but was always available to talk with me and help ease my fears. I don’t think we would have made it past that first year without her constant support and care for our family.
Alysha treats all her students as if they were her own! She takes the time to figure out their learning habits and what emotional support they need and tailors all her sessions to meet that child’s needs.
The magic of Academix is how the tutors find ways to teach each student so that learning makes sense. These professionals will always make learning relevant and meaningful. Alysha is incredibly dedicated to seeing students succeed and will stop at nothing to get that ‘aha’ moment.
Alysha is highly competent in the services she provides and is extremely knowledgeable regarding the ins and outs of the education system and curriculum. She is always present, resourceful, and available to help problem-solve. I feel entirely confident in her expertise and talents. I trust that she will turn around any challenging situation and offer viable solutions.
