Guaranteed University admission! In addition to the Pell grant, there are several scholarship opportunities. My reviews show working with ADHD and any other focus issues to attain 19 in the reading score to obtain a High School Diploma. I am an expert (Top Pro) expert who takes academic success seriously. Take my free consultation to find out how. Experience counts, results matter. As a Senior Ivy League Top Pro 'outside the box 'expert test prep coach I do not tell my students 'What to do' I show them 'how' it's done, then we make a plan to work together to get the job done. I teach to the test! I always provide an initial free one-on-one assessment starting with the Registration to provide the background information in order to understand each individual student's needs and customize the tutorial plan and content . I specialize in ACT/SAT all subjects exam preparation. Students start with a full length hard paper practice test, (there is always a grid-in bubble in sheet for answer selections) applying the diagnostics converted scores (from the raw score to the table scores) obtained I make a corrective summary providing strategies to maximize scores by teaching the student "how to learn" effectively for significant scores progress on the next practice test. There is my developed 'no mistake technique' customized training session with a high level top notch strategy coaching. Taking a sufficient number of classes we move forward to the "diagnostic" levels of test prep and graduate with the "forensic" state which usually places us in the area of perfect scores according to each student's ability. I always ask the student at the end of the class if he/she is satisfied with the tutorial. My payments: (accept: direct deposit/ credit/cash/check) fixed at $60/hour. There are 10% discounts for a full program and monthly package commitment payments. All ACT/SAT tutorials are held for 3 hour duration for maximum learning with normally a one session per week classes advised. tutorial venue: 911 Virginia St. Bellingham WA 98225. This location holds all my test prep resources and essential subject teacher materials. I always actively engage with my students on the essential task and main goal for which I have been hired and always commit to fulfill. I also believe the responsibility of a top pro responsible educator is demonstrate absolute Professionalism. I am passionate about education and give 150% effort in my work commitment in every tutorial assignment, with endless hours for the abundant preparation for my test prep tutorial set-ups so not waste a minute of every valuable time period. Finally I am able to mitigate 'test fright' experienced by many test takers by instilling a psychological 'mindset' approach that evidently works successfully as the results bear out. I coach students 'how to study smart'. Every student learns test prep material, study skills and demonstrate increased confidence with each session. Employing the Socratic method is often required as part of achieving prefect scores or simply attaining a pass score. Test Prep is not teaching as is in a classroom, but is a specialized tutoring skill set where the learner is coached to navigate the maze of test questions and to discover new techniques and approaches to maximize test scores. My professional experience serves to impart life-long skills for all my students to become high achievers, this is an important aspect that I consider valuable in one's legacy and essential to impact the importance of their socio-economic future of every young students in profound ways. Also having the freedom to set a convenient tutorial timetable around my personal, business and family commitments is a high priority. For example, preference is for my classes to be completed by 6 pm. I truly enjoy the enriching experience of the learner-instructor dialectic, where the interaction and meeting of fertile minds can be most productive for both in the effort to achieve desired goals and beyond. The bestowal of knowledge is an exciting and dynamic enterprise and two way exchange. However, I have discovered that a teacher can only teach what a student is able and ready to learn. The learning experience can be a complex process that gradually evolves as the tutor-student connection as an inspiring fulfilling learning adventure grows. Attitude is everything which the student most adopt the positive one to be accepted as my student from day one. The bond of mutual trust and respect of unified evolving progress to inspires each and every student to become a motivated learner to attain or surpass their goals. The classes are actually exhilarating for both. We include questions in the application about the Covid 19 virus and take appropriate precautions if necessary.

Mr. Stanley is a truly outstanding ACT/SAT prep coach. With his efficient writing and reading techniques, I have been able to gradually improve my times as well as answer quality. His son, Costan, is also very helpful and informative math tutor. In fact, Costan may have taught me more than my math teacher at school has. The way that Costan distributes the material is very simple and easy to understand. He thourougly breaks the material down to the point where it is nearly impossible to not understand. Altogether, my experience with both Mr. Stanley and Costan has been a great one that has helped me find tremendous improvement.

Finding a proper tutor for a student can be difficult. Many families go through 2 or 3 before they find the right fit for their child. The minute we talked with Mr. Stanley we knew we made the right decision. Along with his very bright son I was immediately comfortable in knowing my daughter was on the right track. Studying for the ACT and SAT within weeks of each other, they both made my daughter feel less stressed about these tests. Encouragements all the way through every subject taught and reviewed. Every time we spoke it was positive and assuring that she was going to excel. We would absolutely refer them to anyone we know that will be needing tutoring for these test including our 2 other children in the upcoming years. Thank you!!

Hello Michelle, To be granted the opportunity to test prep your High school senior daughter has been much more than a special privilege and real pleasure. We have all enjoyed great teamwork to experience the steady progress of your high achieving 12th grader. With both the ACT and SAT the session by session test score increases provide us evidence of the great college admission standardized test to expect when the SAT and especially the ACT reading, math and composite scores results are published. To inspire and motivate your daughter has been relatively easy; her high level information processing efficiency in answer accuracy on the hard paper multiple choice test drills with her pace timing improvements have indeed been quite astonishing. All of your daughter's consistent Test Prep workshops have been most productive, therefore my FAU son Costan (math) and I truly appreciate your kind words and value your family's experience. Thank you. Ivy League Top Pro coach. Stanley (Mr.B)

Mr. B is an outstanding test prep coach!!! After a few tough SAT experiences my daughter was frustrated and disappointed, and doubted if she would be able to earn the type of score that she had been working so hard for. Mr. B and his son were able to make such significant strides in my daughter's progress from the first session! Right away she proclaimed how effective they are and how much she was able to learn. They have a very comprehensive approach, and offer way more than your typical tutor - they genuinely care about the progress of their students. My daughter considers Mr. B a life coach and he teaches her skills that she will use for the rest of her life. He has taught her how to work smarter as she works harder. She's much faster in the practice tests and her scores increase with every session. Now, she's so much more confident in her test taking skills. I would highly recommend Mustard Seed enterprises to those seeking an amazingly effective tutor or test prep coach!

Once in a rare while, we have a magical tutor/student dialectic which breeds fertile ground for a miracle or two to occur. The experience with PBHS 12th grader Bria has been such an experience. As a Senior educator, I encounter a diverse plethora of High school students who aspire to go to college. From session one Bria has demonstrated that special unique and promising attitude which is a hallmark of a developing adult who has the talent and potential to achieve great things in life. To say the ACT Test prep sessions have been mutually enjoyable would be a gross understatement. Bria grows from strength to strength with each class and having such a supportive mother parent, it is hardly surprising my Senior has improved by leaps and bounds. I remain highly optimistic that Bria is destined not only for top scores at her very first ACT attempt, but indeed she holds great promise for a rewarding and promising future that will fulfill her goals and dreams. My guide to having an enriching and fulfilling life experience permeates my tutorials. The extent of my mentoring is related to the receptivity of the student. Therefore, I hold little reservation that Bria will attain her College education Degree in the field of her choice and is without doubt would be an asset to whatever endeavor she undertakes. Go Bria!!! I undertake to work tirelessly for you to succeed. Thank you for making my world a better place. Ivy League Top Pro. Mr. B
