I am passionate about excelling the lives of children by means of education and character growth. That's why this summer, i'll be running my own business in affiliation with Southwestern Advantage in the Rochester area, NY, helping children save time on their homework, help parents help their children with school work and help students get prepared for college.As an independent business owner, my work is properly licensed through the city and local officials. I'm not affiliated with any local schools, nor are Southwestern Advantage products. I offer supplemental resources, developed by educators and tailored to the curriculum used in both public and private schools.
