When we had our introductory call with Peak Academic Coaching, we were told the one question we would ask is “why didn’t we start this sooner for our child?” And that has proved 1000% true. The first two years of high school were not the easiest for our son, who struggled with management and organization, and his grades, motivation, and self-esteem suffered. Once he opened the door to wanting tutoring as his junior approached, we found Peak online and knew it was an approach to executive functioning that sounded like what he needed more than someone local for substance. But you never know how it will work in reality; if anything, it’s worked better. The tutor match was a great choice — the tutor has the right personality and approach for our son during their calls and is very clearly in our son’s corner. The nightly texts are helpful for all of us both as reminders and pressure/stress relievers, and the focus on more than just homework has helped him learn the study and prep skills he never did before. Finally, the goal setting process helped create reasonable expectations – all of which he exceeded in the first quarter. Gone are our failed attempts to figure this out on our own and make everyone unhappy in the process. We could not be more thrilled, and neither could our son. In his first quarter of junior year/first with Peak, he earned seven A’s/A-‘s and one B, crushing where he was last year and even his own goals at the outset. Highly recommended.
We’ve been so pleased with our experience with Peak Academic Coaching! In just one semester of their coaching services, our son, age 14, has seen huge improvements in his study habits, organization, and grades. If your student needs help learning HOW to stay on top of their class assignments, and how to break larger projects and tests into small, actionable goals, this is exactly what you need! My son’s coach meets with him online several times weekly to make a study and homework schedule for the week. Follow-up texts to the student and parents each day help everyone to know what’s expected. Peak Academic Coaching has helped my son learn how to succeed in school!
I can’t offer enough praise for the executive functioning coaching program. Our time with our coach has been a real game changer with RESULTS. My son started the program midway through the semester and already we see this is making a huge difference for him. It’s way better to stay accountable to someone close to his age rather than to me or a teacher. And ultimately I think he is realizing he is accountable to himself, most of all. Our coach has also talked with my son about college quite a bit and he is empowered towards the process and his options.
Peak Academic Coaching has been a grade changing, stress stopping and relationship saving experience for my son. He was extremely apprehensive to working with an academic coach, so I made him give me 30 days, after which I would not make him continue if he didn’t want to. After the 30 days, he could see such an improvement that he begrudgingly continued. After a few months, he was trying to convince his brothers and friends to get in the program as well. With ADHD and dyslexia, my son was doing ok, mid-B level student, but now that he is working with a coach twice a week via zoom, he’s a straight A student, high A averages in many classes. His feedback is that Peak has taught him how to learn and how to study, and it has taken the stress out of his life. From a mom’s perspective, where I used to see a quick give up or not even try because it was hard and he didn’t think he could do it, he now has the tools to approach and work through any project, paper or exam. My only negative is on me for not seeking Peak’s resources sooner!
An email from Nate’s French teacher says it all, “Just a quick note to let you know that Nate is working really hard in French and it is paying off.” In just three and a half months, Nate has gone from failing most of his classes to getting praise email from teachers and to passing all of classes. The Peak method keeps him on track and keeps the parents informed of the progress. I can’t speak highly enough of his Executive Skills Coach. She has a positive attitude and keeps pushing Nate to do his best. Peak has brought peace back to our house by speaking Nate’s language, handling the ItsLearning portal, creating online quizzes and organizing his efforts through bite-sized, daily tasks. All I can say is that it is 100% worth it.
Josh who assisted in coordination of tutoring for my daughter was excellent! He is in regular communication, patient and helpful. He matched my daughter with an amazing college student who really took her time getting to know my daughter. She is slow to warm up and her coach put her at ease. She helped my daughter improve in every aspect of school and transition from 8th grade to high school seamlessly. She taught her to advocate for herself and restored her confidence in learning. I’m forever grateful to the team at Peak Academic Coaching and recommend their services 10/10!
We highly recommend Peak Academic Coaching! They set us up with a coach for our daughter for her sophomore year in high school. She set goals, developed a strategy on how to achieve those goals, and worked on organization and study skills. Her coach had great communication skills, checking in twice a week by video conference and reviewed how things were going assessing tests and assignments. We even received text reminders for tests, quizzes and projects due. Her tutor also provided lots of tutoring in harder subjects like math and science. Our daughter’s skills really improved through the year and we watched her confidence grow. And best part is she felt independent doing it on her own vs her parents nagging and trying to help learn these skills. A win!
We have been really pleased with the coaching our son has received from Peak Academic Coaching. He had a really rough start to sixth grade and his lack of executive functioning skills caused his grades to tank really quickly the first month or two of school. He started with a coach and stayed with him through the end of the school year. He finished with all As and one B in all of his classes, including his advanced ones. As our son wrapped up his last session, he told me he doesn’t think he could have had a better coach. We are incredibly grateful for the skills he learned, especially ones that transcend beyond the classroom. We will be back next year!
Peak Academic Coaching has been absolutely amazing. My 11th grader was struggling with both chemistry and pre-calculus. The Peak tutor/ academic coach got them on the right track and feeling confident in their abilities. They currently have an A- in both classes and will finish the year strong. Aarya is the best!!
I can’t offer enough praise for the executive functioning coaching program. Our time with Neel and Harshit has been a real game changer with RESULTS. My son started the program midway through the semester and already we see this is making a huge difference for him. It’s way better to stay accountable to someone close to his age rather than to me or a teacher. And ultimately I think he is realizing he is accountable to himself, most of all. Neel has also talked with my son about college quite a bit and he is empowered towards the process and his options.
It’s so difficult to grasp the way our children learn these days. We felt so powerless before we started! When they have attention challenges it’s hard to know where to start and how to help. Within weeks of connecting with a coach we saw dramatic improvements in organization, planning, note taking, and grades! The results are nothing short of miraculous. We went from deep struggles in algrebra to straight A’s. I love that our coach has such a similar background, it makes socializing something to look forward to during the sessions. I recommend without reservation. Our only regret is not starting sooner. Highly recommend!
Peak academic coaching has always helped me keep my grades in check, it helps me stay super organized starting from 8 th grade to now (12 th grade). Interactive metronome has helped my cognitive function to be always a 100%. My memory, problem-solving, attention, perception, processing speed, visual processing. All those cognitive functions listed above are always 100%. My attention span has grown strong. I can focus well on my academics, relationships, friendships, extracurriculars etc. When it comes to being aware, my awareness has also grown strong there is never a day when I’m hazy, or “out of it” people have acknowledged that I’m more centered / calmer. I can create valid points, and never beat around the bush like I used to. Or in other words, my tendency to say a “whole bunch of nothing” has decreased to 100%. I can knock homework and classwork early in the mornings before I go to school, then for the rest of the day all I must do is review my notes throughout the school day. Then I come home with barely any school stuff to do, and I can focus on other extracurriculars like playing the piano, my daily workouts/ stretches etc. When dealing with difficult tasks I break them down little by little, into parts and I get the job done well, I’m able to push through difficult tasks 100%, I come up with a plan right away, and the plan usually goes as planned. No surprises or spontaneous blockages. I can earn a lot of information within a short amount of time. My impatience, restlessness has also ecreased, I speak calmy and stoically. I handle things with logic and not emotion, I think before I speak. When it comes with house chores I do it without being told. I do the dishes all by myself I feel responsible doing the chores in the house. I also do food preparation for me and for the entire family. I used to depend on my mom’s cooking but now I prepare my food and help my family as well. Before interactive metronome I used to never do all that. Now I’m more independent and my parents worry less when it comes with my grades and my social life etc. I also drive very smooth and very attentive. They can tell my life is completely together, and not how it used to be.
Peak Academic Coaching has changed my life! My son struggles with severe dyslexia and ADD. It was a constant battle of trying to help him remember to turn in homework, study for tests, and meet with his teachers for extra help. PAC has stepped in and taken over all of those battles. Now, I can spend my time just being his mom. We have an amazing tutor/academic coach that works one on one with our son. PAC spent time getting to know my son’s interest and was able to match him with the perfect person. His grades have significantly gone up, but more importantly, his confidence is steadily improving. We are forever grateful to PAC and highly recommend them to anyone in need.
We are so fortunate to have been referred to Peak Academic Coaching for so many reasons. Our initial consultation was extensive, which was very helpful. Josh really took the time to listen to what we were looking for and then told us all about the coaching and how he would match our son to the academic coach for our needs.
Not only was our son matched with a coach that could not have been better picked for him, for his personality and learning style, but our son is also beginning to independently take on his own education
We travel a lot, and our son is online and needs the extra support and help. His coach is extremely flexible, thoughtful, firm, kind, educated, and a wonderful guide. We believe our son feels supported, and is learning the ability to move forward independently and create his own system, as he is being taught for success.
Thank you peak academic coaching for all that you do. I would strongly recommend their coaching!!
This has been an incredibly wise investment. My son is much more confident with school work and is happy to have me off of his back. Peak Academic Coaching handles the brunt of what I would be trying to sort out. They have a great system to plan him out at the beginning of the week. C comes home from school and easily sees what needs to be done. Also, he and his coach create doable, bite-size bits so he is ready to turn in the bigger assignments on the due date. He no longer waits until the last minute or forgets them entirely. I am convinced these were skills he was not going to learn from me, especially with the amount of anxiousness and worry I was bringing to the conversations. They say ‘it takes a village’ and I am happy that Peak Academic Coaching is part of our village. Now I can focus on the fun part of parenting; quality time/activities, making dinner, and witnessing him grow into adulthood. I feel good knowing I’ve given him the best chance of doing that.
Peak Academic Coaching has been wonderful for my middle school son. He had been struggling with getting organized and lacking the motivation to get started with studying. His grades started to slip and I could tell he wasn’t feeling good about himself. I worried about his academic future and knew he needed help building good habits. He started working with a Peak coach twice a week at the start of this school year and it is making all the difference in the world. His coach has been teaching him techniques that work for him around organization and studying. As a result, he has A’s in all of his classes and feels so much better about himself! I am confident that what he is learning will help him as he goes on to high school and college.
Our daughter, who had never had less than A’s in US grade and high schools, was struggling with science prerequisites at an international university. PAC matched her with an upper-level science major advisor/tutor that turned it all around. She helped our daughter manage time better, be more accountable, focus faster and tutored her in some key areas. All which led to vastly better results. PAC delivered as promised and was a pleasure to work with from first contact through completion. I recommend PAC to any families looking for a boost in their children’s, or university student’s, academic careers. Well done PAC!
What a fantastic experience! We used Peak Academic Coaching for almost two years with our children. They were able to quickly assess our children and get them on a structured plan for future success. They set up organizational systems and taught them amazing skills for test taking, notes, and keeping track of their progress. They were truly amazing!
My student has gone through a dramatic transformation academically since her enrollment with Peak Academic Coaching. She has gone from a C-D student to an A-B student. The program has aided in the development of great study habits, organization, and improved confidence in my daughter. Our coach has done an amazing job and has been great to work with. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is considering academic assistance for their children.
We have a very smart daughter who continued to struggle academically. We put her in traditional tutoring and utilized the school resources, but nothing made an impact. As the workload increased our frustration and our daughter’s self-esteem, all worsened. Let me tell you the difference that Peak Academic Coaching has made for our family. They have helped provide her with skill sets to be successful vs. just academic tutoring. She now manages herself, she has learned to prioritize, and we see an immediate impact that will prepare her for her junior and senior year in high school, as well as college. We highly recommend Josh and his team at Peak Academic Coaching.
Wow! What a difference Peak Academic Coaching has made for our child! Organization, accountability, and consistency are just a few things Peak Academic Coaching has taught our son. If you have a boy who is “unorganized, never writes assignments down, forgets until 9pm the project is due tomorrow, you’re always getting emails about not turned in assignments…. and, oh, it happens to always be the teachers’ fault”??! You’ll love Josh and his team. Our home lives are so much more peaceful without us having to be the bad guys. Instead, our academic coach is a neutral party who helps our son excel while encouraging him. A role model and excellent example, the academic coach shows our son what is expected and keeps him accountable. Our son’s grades and confidence have improved sooooo much! This service is priceless!
This past summer when we were gearing up for back to school after the 6-month quarantine break, I knew my rising 9th grader would need help getting back into the swing of things. His ADHD has made school challenging under normal circumstances, so I knew it would be even more of a struggle starting high school with this “new normal” after having been out of school for so long. I reached out to Josh at Peak Academic Coaching, and I’m so glad I did. The academic coach my son works with 2½ hours a week is not only incredibly smart and a terrific teacher; but he is friendly, respectful and very professional as well. Most importantly though, my son looks up to him and wants to do well in part because of him. He is able to relate to his coach and sees in him a great example of what hard work and dedication to your education can do. Our coach has helped my son get a handle on his HS curriculum, become more organized and more independent, and has motivated him to want to try harder. For all of that, I am extremely grateful! I would highly recommend Peak Academic Coaching to any parent looking for someone to help their child get ahead or stay ahead in school.
It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Peak Academic Coaching (PAC). Our son who was diagnosed with a learning disability and ADHD in the 7th grade struggled with middle school. We knew we needed to get him some help, and in the 9th grade, we found PAC through a friend. I contacted Josh the owner, and you could tell from the start he was ready to help our son. He took his time discussing our son and his needs. He paired us with our Academic Coach. Our coach and son work great together. They map out the week: Homework assignments, test, and quizzes. He not only helps our son learn and study, but gives him a plan for the week that will allow him to succeed. PAC has done so well with adapting to the Covid situation, not missing a beat. This year they added a nightly text reminder that goes to our son and us. Letting us know of nightly tasks, upcoming assignments, and tests. As two working parents we feel informed and up to date on what he has to accomplish for the week. After a successful freshman year, we are looking forward to working with PAC for the next 3 year.
The very best recommendation for a tutor is the one from the 16 year old boy that did not want to walk down this path a year ago and now when I ask for his input he says “give as many stars as you can… is it a rate 1-10 thing? “10” for sure whatever the highest possible is give that”
We started working with PAC in November of 2020 and have seen not just a positive turn around in our sons grades but more importantly his attitude towards getting the work done. I truly believe that stepping away as parents and giving him accountability and support from another individual has let him mature as an individual and a student. For his parents, the best outcome has been the return to a positive relationship that we now have with him on a day to day basis.
I would highly recommend Peak Academic Coaching for your tutoring needs. After having maintained a rigorous curriculum with a strong GPA and being very busy with athletics and service work, my daughter’s confidence began to go down when she began struggling with her AP calculus class. She had trouble getting help from the teacher as she did not feel comfortable asking questions with so many students that were doing fine. We also tried to a tutoring place where they had 3 students per session but it was hard to get individual attention and their hours were not very flexible. Towards the end of the first semester, we were fortunate to have found Josh Smith at Peak Academic Coaching who immediately found her a tutor that she could be comfortable with.
He is very dependable, easy going and knows how to explain the material in a way that is easier to follow. They work together twice a week and from the moment they start, they connect very easily and are engaged with work the entire time but also in a fun way where they are able to talk freely and not feel judged. This has been a terrific way to build up her confidence and help her learn that getting help is okay even if you are a great student. Both Josh and the tutor are also flexible with the schedule and have been very nice with the schedule to accommodate her athletic demands. We only wish we could have found them sooner!
We chose PAC when we were referred by a neighbor who had good results with PAC and their kids. The biggest concern we had with our son, prior to working with Peak Academic Coaching, were his lack of study skills, testing skills and his ability to produce good results in testing. After working with PAC, our son has developed significantly improved study skills, testing skills and has greatly improved his overall GPA. Our overall our experience with PAC has been excellent and we have been pleased with the progress and the results associated with the program as well as the coaches that have worked with our son. What matters most to us is that our son has the foundation he needs to succeed in life, everything from study skills, to testing skills and learning what it takes to be successful from an academic and professional perspective, and we believe that PAC has made a significant and positive difference in all of these areas.
How do you spell school success? – PEAK ACADEMIC COACHING ! It has been 5 years and 3 children ago that we began working with the staff at Peak. Each of our children has had different academic and organizational needs through their school years, including Dyslexia. The great thing about the Peak Coaches is that they really help enable the whole student – not just give them the answers – Peak Coaches teach children how to find the answers and lead them to master schoolwork on their own. We have recommended the Peak Academic Coaching team to many friends and neighbors and will continue to support their mission to help kids succeed!
Our son has ADHD, language processing and auditory processing issues that inhibit his learning. Peak Academic Coaching was recommended to us by a friend. So glad we made the call to Josh. From the minute we met with Josh, we knew he “got” the learning situation. Our son needed more than tutoring, he needed a mentor that really cared how he was doing. All of the tutors Josh has sent to us are proficient in the classes our son needs help with. Our son’s report cards reflect that the help he is receiving works. We’re no longer our sons taskmaster, but are able to be parents that support his work.
Peak Academic Coaching has been an amazing resource for my kids through middle school and high school. The tutors have all been great and Josh goes above and beyond to help you find the right fit for your schedule and your kids. I am thankful that we have been able to use their services and highly recommend them!
Peak Academic Coaching has helped our son with study and organizational skills. The coach teaches him different study techniques, guides him on planning out his week and managing his time, as well as setting goals and meeting them. Our son, who has always been a strong student, now has a framework and method. This will serve him well throughout high school, college and beyond. Thank you Peak Academic Coaching!
Our family has benefited from using the tutors at Peak Academic Coaching for the past three years in order to reinforce skills taught in the classroom, improve time management skills, and to gain confidence in subject matters. Josh has been great at listening and working with us to find the best tutor for our boys. It is nice to have someone come to our home to work individually with skills and concepts. Our tutor not only works with the academics but develops a personal relationship with our boys which helps to make them feel more comfortable working one on one. He holds my boys accountable for their work and progress while at the same time giving them tips, different ways to study, and helps to build their confidence. Using Peak Academic Coaching has been a great extension of the classroom for our family.
We’ve used Peak Academic Coaching for the past four years. They’ve worked to carefully match our child’s needs with the appropriate academic coach. Our coach has worked to keep our child better organized and worked with him on time management skills. He also worked to instill better study habits by using his time more efficiently. My son actually enjoys working with his coach and I feel it takes pressure off of me as a parent.
We love Peak Academic Coaching. For our daughter this is her second year being with Peak Academic Coaching. Josh picked the right tutor for our daughter. Harn works great with our daughter. Overall our daughter’s grade has improved. One of her weakness was Math and her grade is now high A.
We started using Peak in the Fall semester and what a huge help they’ve been with getting my son back on track. He has ADHD and falls behind quickly. At first we thought we needed help in just math and Biology but it turned out to be more than that; all subjects and improving his organizational skills. We are pleased to have found the one on one help from a great, dependable academic coach & tutor.
I want to share the very positive experience that our family has had with Peak Academic Coaching. Our son struggled through the 7th grade and we were desperate to make some changes for him to help him become more successful before going into high school. The summer before 8th grade we had him tested and he was diagnosed with ADD. In addition to trying out some medication, our psychologist told us about academic coaching services. Josh matched us up with an excellent person to serve as my son’s coach. From the very onset of 8th grade, my son’s grades greatly improved and he showed much better personal responsibility for his school work.
I believe having an younger coach as a mentor helped my son relate easily to him and they developed a fast rapport. Weekly, the coach worked on organizational skills, goal setting/tracking, time management, study skills and tutoring as needed in all areas. We quickly saw a great boost in our son’s confidence level and self-esteem as a result of better outcomes on tests and seeing how his hard work paid off. From a parent perspective, I appreciated the fact that I didn’t have to be the one to hold him accountable as much. With the help of a coach, my son took on more responsibility and the accountability shifted to himself and his coach. This helped improve our relationship because it wasn’t me “hounding” him all the time about school! Our coach has been very invested and dedicated to our son and been flexible with our schedule and needs. As much as the coach has helped my son, he was also an invaluable resource for me as we are transitioning and registering our son for high school. He’s helped guide us by laying out a “road map” of optimal courses and providing personal insight on how best to prepare for college admissions. I think our coach is a relatable, positive example for our son to look to as he enters his next academic stage. We’re very pleased with the academic improvements we’ve seen in my son over the past 7 months and we attribute a good part of that to our dedicated coach!
I truly value the services provided by our tutor. He was very relatable, which was really important for my reluctant son. Not only is it scholastic tutoring but organizational help. Looking at eclass, teacher notes and assignments. Always clear with direction, and patient with difficulties. I would recommend Peak Academic to anyone needing assistance with particular subjects or organizing the weeks work. Working on efficient study habits and emphasizing strengths in asking questions and clarification.
I decided to write this review because Peak Academic Coaching is the real deal and every parent/guardian who’s child is struggling in math should know about this awesome company. I cannot thank Peak Academic enough! My son whom was in 9th grade needed LAST MINUTE help passing math this year. Not only did he pass, he got 4’s A and 1 B on the tests he was missing. I couldn’t believe in such little time how they were able to explain and help him retain the material in order to pass with such high numbers and confidence.
I’m still in disbelief and have one less thing to worry about next year because I finally found a company that I can trust that are literally professional “math magicians” with great customer service, unbeatable price for the highly qualified coaching and results you get, and that are so relatable with your child that he asked if somehow they can continue to be his math teacher and/or have their own school. To hear my son say “I Love Math”, was amazing! What a relief this company has been and will continue to be for both of my sons and I. Thank you again Peak Academic Coaching for your awesome staff and wonderful work that works! I don’t know how you do it, but please don’t stop.
We had an incredible experience with Peak Academic Coaching! I highly recommend the service, especially if your child is struggling in a particular subject! AP Physics was extremely hard and Peak Academic Coaching was a Godsend. If you next assistance, especially during Covid19 this is an excellent investment!!
Happy wife (and mom) happy life! If you long for no nagging of the children about their organization and schoolwork, Peak is a terrific option for you! We have valued our tutor for two years now and honestly, I don’t know how we survived without him. We initially connected with Josh and explained our needs and his recommendation was perfect for our family. His knowledge of the subject matter and ability to connect with our son has proven invaluable. Another benefit too is how understanding and wiling the company is to adjusting to our needs. They are careful to evaluate the child’s work load, sports schedule, etc. to ensure schoolwork doesn’t slide during a busy semester and they recommend adjustments as necessary.
We feel blessed to have found Peak and our tutor! Thank you both for the peace you have helped bring our school nights!
Our son has ADD and for years had been struggling with school. His homework took entirely too long, and his grades were mediocre at best. His confidence at school was completely destroyed. As it applied to the entire school experience, both he and we were miserable. Three years ago, we hired Peak Academic Coaching to work with him weekly. Our tutor has been excellent when working with our son, and has a deep knowledge of all of the subject matter for all classes. Today, our son is a junior, is currently taking seven classes – four of which are honors, has a 3.96 GPA, and is looking forward to applying to colleges of his choice. Without question, both his and our lives have been significantly improved by involving Peak Academic Coaching.
We have had a very positive experience with Karl from Peak Academic Coaching. He has provided the right tools for my daughter to successfully finish the school year and skills that she can take to college. Strongly recommend.
Brennan has been incredible with our son. He has been patient, yet firm in making our son work harder. I know for a fact that we could not have gotten through this year without him! Very thankful to Josh and the team for putting us with Brennan for our son.
I would highly recommend Peak Academic Coaching. Not only did they offer the specific tutoring for academic subjects, they also helped organize and time manage my child’s homework and study load. The tutor they matched us with was a perfect match for our son. He was athletic and was able to connect with him and gain respect and a friendship. He was always on time and when we needed to make some changes to our schedule because of extra-curricular activities they were very helpful in trying to accommodate our needs as possible. I feel like they helped my son with more than just tutoring but learning a life style of studying and time management. It was always a pleasure having him in our home and I appreciated his dedication and commitment to my son’s academics. Thank you!!
I would highly recommend Peak Academic Coaching for all your tutoring needs. They have done an awesome job of matching the right tutor to my son’s needs. They have very experienced tutors in every subject matter. The tutors are very conscientious. They show up on time and ready to work each week. They really care about helping my child succeed.
Peak Academic Coaching tutors have made an incredible difference in the success my son has had in his toughest academic subjects, including Honors and AP classes. The tutors are extremely knowledgeable and they know how to teach strategic study skills that result in a better understanding of the subject matter. This translates to better grades.
Peak Academic Coaching is so much more than tutoring. Through the PAC program, they teach your child the skills they need to organize themselves, manage their time, set goals and become independent so they are on top of their studies. No more tasking after my child! The result is better grades, a more independent student and happy parents.
Higher grades. A happier family and home environment (no more homework battles for this mom…well…almost none). A more confident and self-sufficient student. A phenomenal coach who is reliable, flexible and possesses a deep command of all subjects. I could write pages about these benefits and attributes associated with our Peak Academic Coaching coach and all of my positive feedback would be what you’d expect to be said. But perhaps what speaks loudest about the caliber of coach we were fortunate enough to get from day one is the fact that my son has gained far more than a tutor over the past 5 years.
My son has gained a life mentor, a friend who celebrates the highs and “tough loves” through the academic challenges, a Chick-fil-A buddy, a fellow athlete to compare workout journals and protein bars with, and yes – even the occasional dating advice. Our coach truly gets how my son is wired up and he uses it all to successfully customize his approach each and every week. If only our coach could move to my son’s future college town after next year! THAT is how great our experience has been.
We have been using Peak Academic Coaching for the past two years for our two children. We have seen such a difference in how they plan out their week for academic studying. They have not only improved and sustained their high GPA, but are able to better prepare themselves an organize their time to succeed in their studies.
As the mother of four children, two of whom were accepted recently to Georgia Tech, I can’t say enough about our years of experience with Peak Academic Coaching. My children had struggled with understanding certain subjects being taught at school. Their Peak Academic Coaching tutors took the time to frame the information in a way that was easy for them to understand and that translated into good grades.
I have found that sometimes having tutors who are able to motivate my younger children while taking the time to break subjects down to their level has been another key to their success. As a busy mom having someone else monitor and keep the kids on track has also been very helpful. Developing those good habits early translated into extremely motivated and successful students.
Our family has found Peak Academic Coaching helpful even throughout college. One of our boys began to struggle right before a college final. He called Josh and told him he was in over his head and needed help ASAP. Josh saved the day by arranging a competent tutor for the very next day. The tutor spent hours with our son who ended up making an A on his final.
We are very thankful that someone recommend Peak Academic Coaching to us years ago. It has helped our children not just become good students but excellent students who are in the top of their class.
My daughter has received tutoring from Peak Academic Coaching for two years. Peak Academic Coaching has helped her maintain an A in her Honors Chemistry class and math class. Class time in school is not sufficient to competently learn and interpret concepts. PAC helps bridge that gap, solidifying her comprehension. She gains confidence of her knowledge resulting in better preparation and test scores. Their tutors are reliable and knowledgeable. The convenience of in-home tutoring sessions is essential for busy families like ours. We are thankful for Peaks services and would highly recommend them to other families.
It is with great pleasure that I am writing this thank you note and recommendation for Josh Smith and the PAC coaches who are always there for our family by listening to & guiding us regarding our son’s education. My son has always been a good student; however, his organizational skills were not always good. He often took a long time to finish his homework & forgot to do things that were due. After we met Josh, he arranged the perfect coach for our son. The coach has encouraged and inspired our son by teaching him skills that have helped him become a more self-motivated, independent student. Josh and the coach truly care about what is going on with our son. My husband and I feel very comfortable talking with Josh and the PAC staff, and sharing our concerns about our son with them.
Our son is a 4th grader now. He has remained on the Dean’s list since working with PAC.
Thank you Josh and coaches for all of your hard work!
Peak Academic Coaching has been instrumental in my daughter’s organization and preparation for class work and tests this year. The tutors we have been in contact with usually work with us the entire school year. I can’t say enough about the ability to get the work done for school and also keep organized during the school year. Thank you!
Since the day that I met my Peak Academic Coaching tutor for my son, I knew it was a perfect match. Both the tutor and my son had so many things in common, and come to find out, the tutor had struggled with similar things that my son was struggling with when he was in school. Instantly I felt like the two of them created a bond that was more than “just a tutor.” At that point, I knew it would not be a struggle for my son to meet with someone weekly, which was great relief to me. My son needed help with math, and ultimately, learning to slow down and list out clear steps to help problem solve across many subject areas.
In addition to tutoring in math, our Peak Academic Coaching tutor helps my son map out a study plan for himself every week. He helps him make flash cards, review sheets, and provides additional problems for him to complete in those areas that he is weak. Every week the tutor gives me an update of how my son is doing and what he needs to improve upon for that week.
I cannot tell you how valuable this tutoring relationship has been for my son over the past four years. We have been so pleased with our tutor that we are now having him work with my son on prepping for the SAT. We have loved Peak Academic Coaching and I have recommended them to many of my good friends. As a mom who places a high value on education, Peak Academic Coaching definitely lives up to their name.
Our children have benefited greatly through their work with Peak Academic Coaching. They spent several years working on how to manage their schedules and excel at school. Time well spent! Thank you Peak Academic Coaching!!
