Testimonials by Parents and Professional Tutors  Students who are lucky enough to work with Shawna find that their knowledge base and skill level increases dramatically, but equally important, they gain confidence in their abilities and really do enjoy learning. Whether they are making paper machines, models of the periodic table, designing locks, exploring art, or sailing through their SAT or GED, they come to appreciate how wonderful learning can be when they have a gifted teacher such as Shawna. Shawna is an absolute delight! She is positive, practical and extremely helpful. She has a comprehensive understanding of homeschooler needs and has innovative ways of making learning fun. I highly recommend her. -Glen Moriary, Phd Nixty.com Dear Shawna,
You have been such a positive force in our son's life. You make learning fun, even when the material can seem unsurmountable!! You provide a safe, caring environment where our son can feel secure and learn in a positive atmosphere. Max and Carter help him in so many ways to make the lessons go smoothly when it could be stressful. You allow our son to go at his own pace and yet still manage to pull out those very important learning skills that will help him as he goes through life. You have provided a safe educational haven which attests to your exceptional educational and personal skills geared toward children of all ages including children that have special needs.
There is no way we can ever really thank you, except to let other children and parents know what is possible for their child. Thank you so much for being in our lives. Michele & Eric Levin Shawna is an outstanding resource. She has more diversity in her knowledge and more creativity than any other tutor I have come across in my 25 years of tutoring. She is absolutely her students' best advocate. Shawna Huggins is an asset to the profession. - Margaret Holman Professional Tutor Hi Shawna! Christina was accepted into Biola University and got a Dean's Scholarship! Thank you for helping to bring up her SAT scores- it's helped her to secure $5000/year for four years! - Leanne Wood  Dear Shawna, Last week, when I was not feeling well, Drake asked if he could take a taxi to your house for his tutoring session. When I said "No" he asked if he could ride his bike.....I think he enjoys his time with you. Deanna Calkins (Drake is 11 and lives about 30 miles away) My daughter's confidence in herself - that she can learn things that she thought were "too difficult" - is one reason I believe strongly in this tutoring situation. Students that have difficulties in learning the "traditional way" can be encouraged to find the joy of learning - and then they do learn!!! Shawna has been instrumental, and very effective, in changing my daughter's attitude about academics and her ability to do well with school subjects she always struggled with. As parents, we are grateful for Shawna's skills and gifts, and her love of working with kids to help them to find their potential. - Leslie Case  With Shawna's tutoring, my daughter was able to successfully complete online biology and geometry classes. Along the way, she developed a more positive attitude about school and more self confidence in her academic abilities. She always looked forward to her "Shawna days"! - Sherril Rinehart Shawna, You gave a sanctuary to us from "fear of school . . . math in particular!" We are in your fan club forever. Looking forward to the next season of fun. With heartfelt appreciation,  - Chloe and Ari |
