• "Working with Professor Hughes completely transformed the way I write and approach the ACT. Before tutoring, I struggled with confidence and consistency, but she made everything feel clear and achievable. Her lessons were personalized, encouraging, and always focused on helping me truly understand the material—not just memorize it. Thanks to her guidance, my writing skills improved dramatically, and she was a huge help when it came to crafting my college essays. She genuinely cares for each of her students and wants them to succeed."

    Alex / Student

  • "What sets her apart is that Leah cares, really cares, about her students. If your child is well served by "cookie-cutter" learning solutions, then Leah can help - but maynot be necessary. However, if your student needs a professional who knows the educational systems, can coach your teenager in the primary areas where they need help, and do so in ways in which they will be receptive– then I think Leah is an absolute must for any college-bound scholar. She not only helped all 3 of my daughters get into their 1st choice schools but also kept a dialogue going between all of us throughout the process. I can therefore endorse Leah for your young adult without hesitation."

    Sam / Student

  • "Professor Hughes has been absolutely outstanding in preparing me for the ACT. She not only improved my scores, but I also gained tremendous confidence thanks to Professor Hughes’ personalized approach and encouraging teaching style. Rather than just focusing on the content, Professor Hughes taught me how to take the test by dissecting question and answer patterns, which made all the difference on test day. Her patience, organization, and genuine care for her students’ success truly sets her apart. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to master the test-taking process and achieve real results. Her home office is extremely inviting, and I actually wanted to go to tutoring on the weekend. Plus, she is an excellent treat baker too!"

    Elizabeth / Student

  • "So she took the test as planned- I think it was in August. She got 21, which was super disappointing considering all the scores she was getting on the practice tests with you, and she was working hard. It was tough on her, and she wanted to take it again in October, so she took it- I guess two weeks ago, and today she got her results in 32. She did amazing, went from a 21 to a 32 is crazy. She got a 34 on reading, 33 on math, 29 on English, and Science was a 22, which I guess doesn’t count. So proud of her. Thank you again."

I brag about you to everyone and try to tell the class of 2013 that you are the best. Thank you so much for coming to my football game- it meant the world. I love your attitude about life, and I can’t wait to see you when I come back home."

    Ryan / Student

  • "Thank you so much for your help over the last couple years! I am so glad to have met you (Edna + Vinne) and learned many new skills during our time together. Without you, my ACT score wouldn’t have increased as much as it did, and all my college essays and supplementals would be much worse than they are right now. You were such a big help in finding the right schools for me throughout the college process, and I can’t wait to let you know where I commit to. I enjoyed every meeting together, and I am so thankful for you and the treat!"
