History
Established in 2009.
I hold a B.A. in Education from Providence College, and an M.Ed. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have spent my professional career as a Teacher, Counselor, Director of College Preparation Programs, and Founder of Total Student Support. I have a proven track record of helping students become more motivated and confident, more academically successful, and ultimately gain admission to their colleges of choice. The average score increase with my cutting edge, individualized SAT program is 270 points, with improvements across all three subject areas. All students I have tutored in English have improved their grades by a minimum of ten percentage points. I have been fortunate to edit six bestselling books.
Meet the Business Owner: Virginia R.
I'm Virginia. My passion is helping students secure admission to their dream colleges. As a Harvard educated College Admissions Expert, Test Prep and English Tutor, and Professional Editor, I have had the privilege of watching students attain their educational and life goals while their families are comforted knowing they are in good hands. Previous to owning this business I was a Teacher, Counselor, and Director of Project GEAR UP in Boston [Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs]. Upon moving to California, I became Director of Youth and Community Outreach programs for the Armed Services YMCA for two years, during which time I learned the CA college system, then started this business that I love to do each day. I am in the business of helping kids, and I do not know what could be more rewarding and enjoyable! When I'm not with students for more than a week, I'm traveling. Day to day, I'm bumping the volleyball or enjoying time with my family.
