"Excellent tutor!"
- Kimberly, Rockwall, TX on 4/8/16Simone is a wonderful tutor. My son took and failed the ASVAB a few months ago without having prepared very well.
When this happened, I went searching for a tutor and I am so grateful that I found Simone. She is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and an awesome communicator. She kept me informed of his progress and provided extra materials for him to look at in between classes.
My son just passed the ASVAB! His score improved an overall 13 points!
I can not say enough positive things about Simone. If you need an ASVAB tutor, give her a call!

"She is The Best Tutor."
- Jonathan, Mesquite, TX on 10/3/15My son has been trying to join the Air Force for the last year and was unable to get a score high enough. In fact his last score was a 24 and you need a 50 or better on the ASVAB to qualify. After 3 months of going to Simone J. once a week his score improved to a 52! She is solely responsible for his improvement. She kept me informed with his progress and filled him with confidence. She is simply THE BEST thing that happened to my son. HIRE HER!

- Rick, Rowlett, TX on 1/28/15Simone is very professional and caring for the best mix of what you could wish for if in need of a tutor!
Simone discusses your needs, devises a plan and all sessions are in a public library that serves to allow access to additional materials if needed and is the perfect setting for openness while offering security.
I would recommend Simone for any study needs. She helped me with ACT prep and I know that I am now confident and ready to raise my score and better prepared for college. Also, due to her mode of teaching the materials and her test tactics for success.

"Excellent - Very Professional"
- Belinda, Mesquite, TX on 11/30/14My daughter is very pleased with Ms. Simone. She says Ms. Simone is able to explain her math problems so that she understands and can apply what she is taught in class.
I have hired several tutors during my daughter's school years. I must say, no one has compared to Ms. Simone. My daughter was not doing well in Algebra 11 and at the end of the 6 weeks, she had a B.
Ms. Simone genuinely cares about how my daughter is doing in class. Best tutor I have encoutered!
Thanks, Ms. Simone!

"AWESOME!"
- Marlene, Rockwall, TX on 5/22/14I know it's only been twice that my son has been tutored by Simone, but he has more confidence in writing now then he has ever had before! She has given him the tools to write a good paper. After the first session, my son said, "This is way better, mom." He actually likes going to tutoring! Ms. Simone has a very friendly spirit and makes the student feel good about himself. I thank God for her!
"Awesome!"
- ANNGI, Hutchins, TX on 5/13/14I found Simone's style of teaching to be a perfect fit for my learning style. She is patient and does not make you feel bad that you don't know, but uses it as an opportunity to teach. Loved her!! Can't wait for my next session.
"Outstanding Tutor!!"
- Teisha, Cedar Hills, TX on 5/12/14Simone has helped me understand math in Ways I could have never imagined. I loved how she would explain things to me in a way only I could understand! She is very flexible with her schedule and yours, and she is willing to go all the way with you as long as you apply yourself!
When I first met Simone, I had Failed the ASVAB (The U.S military entrance test). I failed with a 20. I was never a good test-taker, but my score after Simone was a 35 - so 15 points higher! I'm soo thankful I ran across such a good tutor, someone who actually cares and is not in it just for the money! Soo thank you, Simone, I could not have done it without you!!
"Simone is a lifesaver!"
- Summer, Sachse, TX on 4/14/14My experience with WyzAnt has been awesome. Our daughter was struggling in math, and I found WyzAnt online. I signed up and had a very qualified tutor by the name of Simone. Simone illuminated math for our daughter and gave her the tools and confidence to succeed. I am very happy to say our daughter passed her TAKS test today. We couldn't have done it without the help of Simone and prayer from above. We love you girl.
"Simone is Great!"
- Connie, Wylie, TX on 4/5/14I have been working with Simone for 2 months now on a weekly basis. She tutors me twice a week. I was worried before I hired Simone. I was afraid the experience would not be good because I knew so very little about algebra. Simone is so understanding and she doesn't mind going over things again and again if I ask her. She knows just how to explain things. She can put it in simple terms for me to understand. She has brought me so very far. I would never have thought this would be such a great experience. Simone is the best. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. I feel blessed to have her as my tutor. She really knows what she is doing and she makes me feel very comfortable in the process.
"Excellent Tutor"
- Rebecca, Mesquite, TX on 3/31/14After searching and searching for a math tutor, we are so glad we found Simone. She was very patient and responsive. I homeschool my son and he was struggling in Algebra II. He went from not understanding the concepts of the questions at all to being able to get all or just about all questions correct in a very very short time, under Simone's care. She was able to catch up my son's studies from Unit 3 to Unit 7. Simone gave my son studies for just in case if he forgets the concepts he can look at her notes. Great idea! I will definitely keep Simone's information for future tutoring.
"Very Patient"
- Noni, Mesquite, TX on 2/11/14Helping me to futher my Math learning. I'm doing great. She is doing a great job teaching me. She is a five star tutor. Thank you!
"GREAT!!!!"
- MELISSA, Garland, TX on 2/4/14I asked my daughter what she thought about her tutor. She said she enjoyed her patient approach, and did not make her feel pressured. As long as I see my daughter looking forward to her sessions, we will continue to use Simone.
"Awesome tutor!!"
- Cheryl, Mesquite, TX on 1/23/14Simone began working with our son in July of 2013 because he was not successful in passing the math portion of the 6th grade STAAR test. I am so very pleased with her professionalism, patience, and knowledge of the content. She has really gone above and beyond "the call of duty" printing the curriculum that my son is learning in 7th grade and making sure that she's covering the content to help him become successful. I have recently ordered a STAAR Study Guide that she suggested so that she can begin working with him for the upcoming STAAR exam. I highly recommend Simone to anyone who's in need of an awesome tutor!!
"Great tutor"
- Laura, Terrell, TX on 1/14/14Simone is very nice. She is very helpful and I am glad I found her to help me through this. Thank you again .
"Simone is great and helped my daughter significantly improve her scores."
- Karen, Garland, TX on 1/13/14Simone worked with my daughter on SAT materials over a period of approximately 6 weeks, with sessions twice a week. Simone was calm, patient and found a way to help my daughter better understand the materials and develop effective test taking strategies. Simone was motivating and offered strong encouragement at each and every session. My daughter's confidence improved dramatically as did her test scores. My daughter's reading scores jumped by over 200 points, math score went up 70 points and writing went up 90 points. I attribute the substantial improvement to my daughter's efforts and Simone's tutoring. I would very definitely recommend Simone to anyone looking for a wonderful, effective tutor!!

My daughter is being tutored in SAT MATH and SAT READING. My husband and I are hoping and praying our daughter is successful in her quest to score exceptionally well.
"Awesome tutor!!!"
- Natalie, Kaufman, TX on 11/4/13I am so happy with Simone. My daughter has only been tutoring with her for about 3 weeks and you can already tell a huge difference. I love the homework and LOVE how Simone goes over everything they do. She is able to help answer questions via e-mail, text, call or in person. Great person and my daughter loves her. Lucky to have found such a great teacher!
"Instant results"
- Tamala, Mesquite, TX on 10/31/13My daughter was struggling with geometry the first six weeks of school so I contacted Simone after working with my daughter last school term in Algebra I. After just one lesson, my daughter understood all the troublesome concepts and aced her next exam and received an "A" on her two homework assignments. Simone is well worth the price and then some. She makes my daughter feel very confident and her grades reflect it. Don't take a break, a weekly lesson with Simone does wonders. Your child will thank you for it!
"Great Tutors are Hard to Come By!"
- Cedric, Dallas, TX on 10/30/13I have transition from working on my math skills to learning excel. I have been in my position as a Transportation Manager at UPS for over 9 years. I have not been using excel but due to changes in the company I have been forced to take on new task. One area I have been lacking in is my lost skill/knowledge of excel and in planning meeting I was embarrassed that I could not create spreadsheets but Simone has been working with me and my confidence is building up and I feel good about myself. Simone is a great teacher and she continually make me feel that I can learn anything!
"Great Tutor!!!"
- Angel, Mesquite, TX on 10/29/13This was our first session with Simone and my daughter and I are very satisfied. My daughter was very happy I found Simone. My daughter said Simone teaches you in a way you can understand it and she makes it seem very simple unlike her Math teacher. We are both happy with Simone. Our search for a math tutor is over! Yea!
"Very helpful tutor."
- Diane, Rowlett, TX on 10/16/13We are very pleased with our sessions we have had with our tutor Simone. My son is having problems in Algebra.

- Kandise, Mesquite, TX on 8/10/13Simone has been tutoring my 9 yr old son over the summer. He has been struggling with his reading comp and a few other subjects.

She has been so patient with my son and very determined to get him to understand during his lessons. We are thankful for her and recommend Simone to all.
"A Wonderful Tutor"
- Felicia, Duncanville, TX on 6/3/13My experience with WyzAnt I was sort of reluctant to go through with it, because I didn't know what to expect, but I am so glad that I did. Simone J. is a wonderful, treasured find and I appreciate the help she is giving my son. He is a more confident student, but there is still work to be done and I trust Ms. J. will help us through it. Thank you so much.
"Great tutor"

"Great tutor"
- Diana, Mesquite, TX on 5/17/13Simone is an excellent tutor! I've been working on getting my GED and I got stuck on the math pretty bad. Simone helped me with my algebra the first day for 75 minutes. After what she taught me I felt very confident that I can do this! She is very patient and made the math so clear for me. I would recommend Simone to anyone out there that is having the same kind of problems.

- Madison, Garland, TX on 5/1/13Simone J. is a awesome tutor, my daughter have been struggling with math since the third grade and she is now a 6th grader, I have tired several tutors in the past and none have been able to locate the problem. In just the first two session of tutoring with Simone, she was able to pin point the issues my daughter was having. I am pleased to know that Simone is willing to give up her spare time to help my child and other kids who need that extra help to achieve better grades and to build their confidence level with school work. I would recommend Simone to anyone, she has a great attitude, warm spirit and soft voice something that makes it easier for kids and moms to be comfortable with.
"Great help"
- Victoria, Mesquite, TX on 4/29/13Simone has been a great help to me with Algebra and Pharmacy technician word problems; we have not fully conquered all the results I would like to have, but I am confident in the weeks ahead that we will. She is very good at explaining things to a level that is understandable which is good for me, because it has been awhile since I had been back in the college scenario and needed her to understand that, which she did.
"Great tutor! Knowledgeable, caring, experienced and patient."
- Gina, Rockwall, TX on 4/27/13My daughter is been tutored for an upcoming ACT by Simone. During her tutoring hour Simone takes the time to fully explain each problem and makes sure my daughter understands how to solve it. Simone also takes time to search for studying material out of her tutoring hour to provide to us and follows up on it. My daughter enjoys her tutoring hour very much and like Simone a lot. It's very easy to communicate with Simone and she is very prompt to answer emails or be found by the phone. We wish we had found Simone before!
"Great tutor."
- Terri, Mesquite, TX on 4/23/13Simone is very smart, and really knows algebra! She is very focused and patient. She is easy to reach, and very available. I would recommend her for anyone who really wants to learn and make good grades!

"Patient, Connected, and a Good Fit for our Teen"
- Ericka, Randallstown, MD on 2/12/13My son has responded positively to Ms. Simone’s instruction since day one. She speaks to him at his level, using vernacular and concepts that he can relate to. His math teacher commented to us, what an improvement he’s seeing from our son, that was after just one session! Now Ms. Simone is reviewing upcoming math lessons with our son so that when it is taught in class it will just be a reinforcement of something that he already knows. My teen looks foward to his tutoring sessions. I already see positive changes and his confidence with math is being bolstered.
Simone is accessible, avialable, responsive, and connected.
"I am so totally impressed!!"
- Ona Marie, Dallas, TX on 2/7/13Reviewing your detailed profile & meeting you along with my 3 sons proved to be one of the most inspiring investments that I have made toward my childrens education and my teaching skills as a parent. (I did not know that my 5th grader could tackle 8th grade assignments, I was a little embarrassed in a good way that I did not realize it beforehand).
My 3 of my son's are very sensitive yet excited for each other's educational expectations and future achievements with you! Thank you so much MRS.SIMONE. We look forward to working with you in the near future.

She is very patient and encouraging. She showed my daughter easier ways to approach her math problems, which will prove to be invaluable during test taking time.

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ACT Math
Assess, strategize, and implement proven techniques that will help students perform well on the math section of the ACT.
ADHD
I have tutored several high school students (ages 15 all the way to early 40s) in the Dallas metroplex (Rockwall and Garland) in English and in Algebra. All of those students have received an "A" in his or her course. I have helped them be successful in their classes/courses.
My strategy was to always be very brief in my explanation of the concept and focus on his or her kin esthetic ability or desire (the desire to move while learning). I accomplished this by showing an example of a problem and then having him or her simulate what I have just done. This worked very well for all of the ADD/ADHD students that I have had.
I approach each student and determine what in particular causes their attention deficiency. I hone in on this and make learning fun and steer away from techniques that are "boring" to them which, as a result, may trigger their ADD/ADHD.
Algebra 1
I have extensive experience in this subject as I have aced this class in both high school and college.
I enjoy teaching the foundational principles of Algebra that are necessary to be successful in this course.
I focus on comprehension of the concepts and application of knowledge.
ASVAB
Thank you for your future service to this country!
I have experience preparing students for the ASVAB and have successfully helped a number of students pass this test.
I utilize strategic techniques and methods to ensure that my students are properly prepared, more comfortable, and have increased confidence to tackle this exam.
I focus on comprehension and mastery of all sections of the exam and I look forward to helping students pass this exam.
I hope you give me the opportunity to help you. Thank you!
Basketball
I am a former student-athlete that played basketball at Mesquite High School, The University of Texas at Dallas, and The Pro-Am circuit (semi-pro).
I have also coached in numerous leagues in the metroplex and have directed basketball camps.
Business
I have a breadth of knowledge in the business industry as I have worked in Corporate America and various aspects (marketing, accounting, non-profit, sales, etc.) for eight years and counting.
I have experience preparing and developing skills to be successful in these areas and beyond. I know the skills that are business leaders, recruiters, and managers look for in prospective employees.
I have a master's in accounting from The University of Texas at Dallas and an MBA from The University of Central Florida.
Elementary (K-6th)
I have tutored numerous elementary students in reading, math, writing, and English. I am currently working with a number of students and have increased their comprehension and math techniques. I believe that I have the ability and the personality to truly nurture students of this age and help them learn the concepts that they are struggling with.
Elementary Math
This is one of the most fundamental math course in a student's education. I focus on the basics and build up from there.
I like to ensure that the student doesn't memorize the concept but retains and can apply appropriately.
I pay special attention to how a student learns and tailor my lessons to fit his or her learning style.
Financial Accounting
I have a BS and a MS in Accounting and Information Management. I have also tutored college students in introductory accounting along with intermediate accounting.
I have two years experience in public accounting and do tax accounting for a catering company.
GED
I have the essential skills and experience needed to assist students in passing the GED as I have done well in all required sections of the exam.
I focus on necessary skills such as math techniques, reading comprehension, essay development, sentence structure, and other English skills that are needed.
These and other skills I have acquired while in high school and while attending college.
I know how to assist you in passing this exam and I look forward to helping you in the next step of attaining your education. Thank you!
Hard Of Hearing
I am very patient with students that are hard at hearing and/or need more detailed instruction and help with their classes.
I have worked with a student in the past who had difficulty hearing and I emphasized a system that allowed the student to utilize her other senses (such as sight and touch) to compensate for her deficiency in hearing.
I focus on illustrating the material more visually versus speaking through the material. I also created a system to where the student could show me where and what they were not understanding.
Linear Algebra
I specialize in preparing students in understanding concepts for this course. I have assisted approximately 20 students both high school and college.
I have taken this class personally on the high school and college level in the process of attaining multiple Bachelors and Masters degrees. Each time I have taken this course I have received an A.
I utilize unique strategies and various skills to identify a student's weaknesses. I am able to assess the weaknesses based on a diagnostic that I provide during our first lesson. I then implement strategic techniques to ensure students' comprehend the material.
I focus on illustrating the certain "traps" and "pitfalls" that students can fall into (for example: not reading the problem correctly or not answering the right question). I do this so that students can recognize these incorrect answers for various questions as they go throughout this course.
