Student Transformations

  • “My son hated school! It was painful just get him up in the morning. All his teachers said he was naturally bright, but his grades did not show it. After working with North Star, I saw a dramatic improvement in his mindset, organization, and time-management. He even completed homework on time. He was finally happy at school again!!”

  • “My daughter has always been incredibly smart. However, her test scores never reflected her ability. She had high anxiety and would wait until the last minute to study. But North Star worked with her in a way that cultivated her natural abilities, helped her prioritize her schedule, and developed her confidence again.”

    11th Grade Crossroads Parent

  • “My classes are considered more rigorous than most. I do my best to help students with their questions, but they often need extra help. North Star is at the top of my list for recommendations. I have noticed a significant amount of progress in students who decided to work with their instructors. Not only grade-wise, but they also became more vocal in class and took greater responsibility for their work.”
