Hello, and welcome to my Wyzant page for Light the Way Tutoring and College Planning! My name is Courtney, and I have been a tutor for 9 years and a college planner for 3 years. I earned an Associates degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences from Monroe Community College and a Bachelors degree in English Writing from St. John Fisher University. I graduated from Monroe Community College and was awarded the Certificate of Achievement in Academic Excellence and was one of only ten graduates to receive the bronze medallion for my high GPA. I graduated summa cum laude from St. John Fisher University and earned the Recognition of Excellence in English award for achieving the highest GPA in the English department. I am also a member of the Phi Theta Kappa and Sigma Tau Delta (English) Honor Societies.

I am passionate about helping my tutoring students enjoy the learning process and reach their academic potential. I look forward to working with you to achieve your academic goals!

I began my tutoring journey by assisting fellow college students with writing, researching, editing, and citing their sources. My first student was an English major whose second language was English. She ended up excelling in her time with me and winning the Matthew Richards Prize in English.

After graduating from college, I continued to tutor middle school, high school, and college-level students in English, math, history, and study skills. I have tutored at Monroe Community College and Finger Lakes Community College as well as on my own. For the past two years, I have been a College Planner with Class 101, a national franchise that assists high school students with every facet of the college planning process. I have now launched my own business using the skills I have developed as both a tutor and a college planner. When I am not busy tutoring or college planning, I am reading a good book, writing my novel, or hanging out with my husband and cats.

I have flexible availability and look forward to hearing from you!

I advise and assist students with many aspects of college planning. I suggest colleges that best fit students’ interests and prepare college lists for them to research. I also teach students how to research and take effective notes on colleges. Furthermore, I assist my students with designing resumes, filling out college applications, finding and applying for scholarships, developing and editing college application essays, and searching and applying for scholarships.

Courtney is wonderful

Our 17 yo worked with Courtney for 6 months as his college counselor. She helped him tremendously with over 15 applications, guidance and support. Could not recommend more highly!

Creative and effective tutor!

Courtney worked with my student to lay out the high school AP British Literature syllabus into a weekly lesson schedule. Her guidance is helping my student understand how to be a more productive student while enjoying the course material. My student doesn't feel so overwhelmed, an immediate reaction from this initial session. I look forward to my student continuing with Courney to ensure the time vs lesson management lesson effectively sticks. Thank you!

Helpful, honest and effective tutor

Courtney was a great tutor to help my younger brother improve his all around scores on the SAT with her strategies and patience, she was able to teach him test taking techniques as well as improving his studying habits. And she can do the same for you!
