Emily, Mom of a 7th Grade Student

Thank YOU!  We will SOOO miss working with you!! Thank you for being such an incredible teacher and person!


Parent of Life Tools Student

I wanted to give you an update on my son after working with Kristin for 20 sessions and through finals. We are so happy! He passed his classes and actually did very well for the quarter with nothing below a C. He also got Cs on his algebra and chemistry finals and normally he fails them. For some people that might not seem good enough, but considering where we were before and the frustration we were all experiencing, this is a success to us.  We will definitely use your services next year if needed! This was the first time in several years we did not fight about studying, and doing homework, or doing well on tests. Thank you so much!

Just wanted to send a shout out to you for the wonderful results Kristen has seen utilizing Life Tools. Her confidence in Math has grown and she’s on track for more success!  Thank you! There is nothing like seeing your children succeed!


Parent of Life Tools Student

Our son did great on his Algebra final and he admitted that he was proud that his hard work was reflected in his grade! We appreciate you and how comfortable he was working with you. Your methods were exactly what he needed. Thank you!


Parent of Life Tools Student

We are so happy with our son’s progress in Chemistry and Algebra II… he’s been so much better and less upset about school and we’ve had a lot less fighting with him about it at home! We cannot thank you enough!


Parent of Life Tools Student

Thank you for everything. Catherine did a fabulous job and my daughter loved working with her. She was able to get an A first quarter and a B second quarter in her pre-calculus class!  I will definitely use your company again if the need arises… I have 2 more kids!


Vicki, Parent of Middle School Student

Look who made the honor roll!  SUPER PROUD of his hard work.  THANK YOU for your assistance and your support!


Rhonda, Parent of Elementary School Student

We were referred to Life Tools by another local family. Our daughter struggles with Math to the point where we saw a decline in confidence and a reluctance to go to school. We appreciate the encouragement and patience Mike has shown through the tutoring process. We are looking forward to the start of 4th grade to see the progress our daughter has made!


Kathi, Parent of Middle School Student

Before our daughter began tutoring with Mike at Life Tools, she was a C student with an occasional D or F. When we first met with the Life Tools Tutor, we expressed our concerns with her reading, writing, and math skills. We do not focus heavily on grades as parents, but we wanted to ensure that she had the educational base needed for lifetime success.

Calvin and Life Tools Tutoring were a Godsend for my 7th grade grandson. Although I knew that he had the ability, my grandson would not apply himself. This resulted in some poor grades and it also affected his self confidence in math and other subjects. Calvin and my grandson hit it off on the first day!

Knowing my daughter has significant anxiety related to school and schoolwork, Mike gently eased her into the planned activities using games and helping to calm her by giving her the building blocks she would need to be successful with both the task at hand and those upcoming.

Thank you for all that you have done for us and our son!  He even went as far as to tell me this weekend that 3rd grade was hard but 4th grade is easy now! Thank you again for everything that you have done for him!
