If you do decide to book our initial consultation, this is $200.00 with enrollment. Once a spot is secured for you and your family, the tuition is non-refundable.

During this meeting we will relate all of your child’s test results to nationally normed tests. Together we will design the game plan for your child. We will carefully outline everyone’s responsibilities; you will be shown our past statistics for success, the philosophy behind our program, and financial payment plan options for tuition. This is a very important meeting and all parties raising the child are encouraged to attend. You will have parent education videos available to you as well.

How to be a successful entrepreneur
Beatrice Hair was nominated by the University of Phoenix as one of their top five entrepreneurs in the nation. Here is her article. :
Believe in yourself and your dream.
Beatrice Hair left her job as an elementary school teacher to open Salisbury Tutoring Academy, a “one-on-one school” in Salisbury, North Carolina.
Starting her own company wasn’t easy. “I lost my peer group [of teachers],” Hair notes. While running her business, she earned a master’s in education from the University and found a new peer group of classmates from all over the country. “Some [of them] are still part of my think tank and are dear friends today,” she says.
Still, she feels like self-reliance was the secret to her success. “Passionately believe in what you will be doing,” she encourages. “If you need too much advice, do not open a business, because you must rely on your instincts.”
