Time

When you don't have to travel, it saves time. When you get coaching on the mental game of taking exams without anxiety, it saves time. When you work with a tutor who provides strategies for speed as well as accuracy, the exam is completed in time. It's not enough to be right. It must be done fast. All lessons recorded and conducted on Zoom or on the dedicated Learning Platform with interactive instruction.

Place

Surprisingly, working in person is sometimes a distraction. When the subject of study is writing, written feedback is concrete, so that students learn how to improve their work. When student and instructor are reading the same document, it facilitates deep reading. Interactive lessons which allow both student AND instructor to work together on a document is more effective than in classroom learning.

Efficiency

Work with an instructor trained to teach online, with over six years experience in online teaching, who has combed through the exams for six hours a day, day-in, day-out.

Let's come up with a mutually thought-out study plan. Let's talk about previous exams taken, weaknesses and strengths, as well as what schools and major the student is considering. Goals are more accessible when motivated by concrete desires.

Schedule a 1st session.

If not completely satisfied, there is no charge. The initial session is a presentation of global strategies for taking exams. Or, if it's a question of writing, we go in-depth into the exigencies of that genre. Generally, each lesson is divided into a.) presentation, b.) skills put into action with guidance, followed by c.) supervised practice for independent implementation.

Set up a student account.

Inside the student dashboard, find resources only available for students at Your Life Matters. My students are introduced to the culture of excellence that higher education is meant to provide and how to work within the academic system for optimal success.

A Deep Commitment to Student Learning...

Gabrielle Pullen, MFA

It's time to do things differently. It's time to tell a new narrative, one that empowers students to think critically and independently. It used to be about education alone. In this new era of change, Critical Thinking is a survival skill.

I offer a complete commitment to teaching students to think through any issue independently. In 2015, I went back to school to obtain my Masters Degree In Writing. I pursued my Certification in Teaching Writing two years later at MNSU, Mankato. My undergraduate degree is in French Language and Literature, which means I take a linguistics approach to teaching. Based on studies of how children learn language, I teach students to pursue their curiosity. I emphasize how to listen more deeply, to chunk concepts, sentences and complex questions down into smaller, more manageable parts. I have been reading avidly since I was a child. I have made study a way of life, growing up in an academic home. I may well have picked up a few things by osmosis; my father is a world-renowned math prodigy, who, at the age of 90 is still engaged in theoretical math. But I leave the math to him. My strength is in language, in making the metaphorical concrete and in fostering internal motivation and creative approaches to learning.

You Have Options!

Higher Level Reading & Advanced Critical Thinking Skills Are a Natural Result of the Right Habits.

Initial Consultation
It can be daunting to make a long-term commitment to your own intellectual growth. It is invaluable to have an opportunity to speak to the tutor in advance. It's a chance to see if it's a good fit. In an era when most classes prevent direct discussion with the host and the even phone calls are run by bots, the gift of being able to speak to someone to create a game plan is priceless.
