ReviewsSharing … academic thoughts, hopes and dreams

Dr. Jerome explains, “Seeing this feedback from parents and students alike is truly an inspiration. My students may not realize that oftentimes I learn just as much from them as they learn from me. That’s because I am a natural problem solver. Whatever my student is trying to overcome, I do my best to assist. Also, I am a goal-oriented individual. It’s critical to me that the lesson is presented in the most effective and efficient way for each student. It’s my goal that whenever a student tries to get from point a to point b, his or her path remains open and relatable. That is, for each student I consistently try to open ways to learn, ways to improve, ways to excel.

May all your academic dreams come true! I cherish each and every one of you. Your reviews warm my heart. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your hopes, your dreams. I am truly honored.

11th grader5/12/21Pearland, TX"I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Jerome! She's taught me excellent tips and methods that have completely changed the way I looked at the ACT for the better. I've worked with her on the reading and science sections and she helped me to majorly improve them both (27 to a 34 on reading and 27 to a 31 on science). I would highly recommend working with Dr. Jerome for anyone who needs help on the ACT regardless of which section.

She finds resources that help improve personal weaknesses while playing on the strengths. Great teacher, meets the student at their level and adapts her teacher style for the student." Larissa (Student: pseudonym)
11th grader4/14/16Pearland, TX "Thank you for helping our daughter Larissa (pseudonym) to improve her SAT score in Reading/Writing sections, which tremendously helped her to bump her overall score and got admission into good schools like UT Pact Program in Dallas, Washington, D.C., UT Austin and Rice University, etc.

Being a high school junior is not easy. Larissa was stressed and under a lot of pressure during her 11th grade; she was balancing her school activities, maintaining her school rankings and SAT preparation.

During that stressful period, Larissa not only enjoyed your class but was able to score 800 in both Reading/Writing sections because of your positive influence and coaching.

We definitely recommend you to all of my close friends so that their kids find their potential to improve their scores with your guidance.

We are very fortunate to find you at the right time and amazed at your capacity to coach her within a short period."

Dr. Jerome remembers

I am amazed at how beautifully students react to AWE lessons! There are times when the lessons become so rewarding. Sometimes progress materializes. Othertimes bonds exist. Some students start to walk with confidence or with a refined outlook. There are times when students have an upbeat attitude toward learning. All this does not happen overnight. It takes consistency and diligence to pull it off. Tutoring and learning is a reciprocal activity. We are all in it together. Each all learn from one another. Last, but not least, I would like to acknowledge the parents of my students whom have shown me such respect and kindness, without whom I would not be able to perform these academic services. They are truly the lynchpins who fasten everything together. It is my joy to be of service to you!”
