Experienced and patient tutor

Sherry is a fantastic tutor. She helped me pass the praxis writing core which I struggled to pass on my own. She is great at identifying weaknesses during lessons and will provide you with extra material for practice. I will continue to use Sherry's services to help me with other exams.

Great Teacher, very patient and supportive!

I just love every lesson with Sherry. She makes it fun and worth the time! She’s engaging, always making sure to include you in the learning, not just throwing information at you.

Kylie, 18 lessons with Sherry

Patient and soft spoken

I had my first lesson with Sherry. She appears very knowledgeable and kind. I'm looking forward to the lessons with her and the success I hope it brings. We are going over the materials for the 5205, and she is humorous, yet her vibe is very upbeat and genuine in the goal im trying to reach.

Above and Beyond Praxis 5038

I am so grateful to have found Sherry for tutoring in preparation for the English Praxis 5038 exam. She has been nothing short of exceptional. Sherry is incredibly patient and takes the time to ensure I fully understand each concept. Her diligence is unmatched—she goes above and beyond by creating insightful, detailed notes that make complex topics much easier to grasp. What truly sets her apart is her personalized approach. Sherry not only provides helpful explanations but also creates tailored practice assignments and tests that mirror the format and challenges of the Praxis exam. This has been invaluable in helping me feel confident and well-prepared. If you’re looking for a tutor who is dedicated, resourceful, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend Sherry!

Knowledgable and knows how to teach

Sherry taught me how to write complex sentences using conjugations. She was very patient with me and engaged me by asking lots of questions so I can learn. She gave lots of examples so I can understand the material better.

NARENDRA, 4 lessons with Sherry

Well prepared and knowledgeable

Although it was my firstI lesson, I like that she asked me a few questions before giving me time to study. I look forward to Sherry questioning me on the "mini mountain" of info she provided me for homework!

patient tutor

You could not ask for a better tutor. She is kind and polite and willing to work with you. She has a knowledge of information about Middle grade English. She is simply the best.

Social studies tutoring

I highly recommend Dr. Sherry F. I have struggled with social studies my whole life and I finally gave in and decided to get a tutor. I attempted the social studies praxis exam twice before I decided to work with a tutor and both times I failed. After working with Dr. Sherry I finally started to understand what had happened in this world to give us the opportunities and freedom we have today. This is the first time I have ever actually understood anything to do with social studies and it is all because of Dr. Sherry!

Kaitlyn, 4 lessons with Sherry

Very helpful tutor

Sherry was one of the best tutors I've ever had. She was patient and reviewed so much work with me. She prepared materials for me to study on top of all of our tutoring. I passed my exam within 2 weeks and improved by Praxis 5004 score by 12 points. Thank you so much for your help!
