A biological sciences degree means Allan is used to connecting concepts across disciplines — reading dense material, solving quantitative problems, and writing structured lab reports — which maps neatly onto the middle school experience of bouncing between math homework, a science chapter, and an English essay in one night. His own SAT prep journey, where he methodically raised his score by 200 points over two months, gave him a concrete system for identifying weak spots and targeting them, a habit he brings to everything from pre-algebra gaps to disorganized writing.

Five years of preparing New York City students for high school admissions means Benjamin has coached middle schoolers through the exact pressure point where math, writing, and study habits all need to come together at once — and where weak spots in any one area start dragging down the others. His sociology coursework at Harvard sharpens his read on the social and motivational dynamics that shape how a twelve-year-old actually engages with schoolwork, which makes a difference when the real issue isn't the content but the confidence or organization around it.

Before graduating from Notre Dame, Rebecca spent time tutoring local middle school students in reading and writing, specifically preparing them for standardized tests. She knows how to break down reading comprehension passages and teach paragraph structure at a level that clicks for students still building those foundational skills. That hands-on experience with younger learners sets the tone for her patient, structured approach.

Peter's Master's in English Education and journalism degree give him a particular edge when middle schoolers hit the stage where every subject suddenly demands stronger writing — lab reports in science, document analysis in social studies, essays in ELA.
