"I was always challenged in his class, especially when it came to taking tests. Everything else clicked, but I had terrible tests scores. I took a few test preparations classes and my scores have really improved. Thanks for working with me."

About Me

My educational philosophy is founded on the belief that every student has the ability to learn so meet them were they are at!

 

Over the past 10 years, i have helped about 1000 students improve their study habits, comprehension, and test-taking skills. As a result, these students have earned better test scores and grades, and grown in self-esteem, confidence and on to graduate college. Additionally, 35 students traveled abroad and tutored 35 kids to passed the World History AP exam. I truly love celebrating those victories with our students.

 

In a recent survey, 96% of the high schools students & parents have indicated that Mr. Omowale has impacted their child's life tremendously.
