Game Changer

“Shining Students Tutoring has been a game-changer for our child's academic progress… What used to be nightly struggles with homework have turned into report card A's.”

Individual Strategies

“Each of my children had a set strategy to help them improve… Both my kids have improved tremendously with test scores and confidence.”


— Katie D., Google Review

Applicable Learning

“Dan and Meagan both taught the entire concept of algebra- not just here’s how you do it to pass. They instilled the why, how and process not just for this class but for her future. We had done tutoring in the past but they didn’t focus on what my daughter was learning in school right then and there… Dan and Meagan literally reviewed what my daughter was learning right now… and even moved ahead in the unit so she would be ready when the teacher taught the new information.”


— Kristin B., Facebook

Gentle Guidance

“Justin was outstanding in helping our daughter with her math. He accessed her assignments and guided her through them thoroughly, ensuring she was well prepared for her tests. He was patient, flexible, and easy to work with. Not only did her math grade improve, but her confidence did as well.”


— Megan L., Google Review

Improved Recall

“They have helped boost my daughter's confidence and are great communicators. My daughter was stuck on a topic once, so I reached out for assistance. Not only did they answer the question, but they created a video for my daughter to refresh her memory.”


— Sabina L., Google Review

Less Anxiety

“Dan and Megan at Shining Students Tutoring are the complete package! My daughter has always been plagued with test anxiety issues… Not only did Dan and Meagan help her with test preparation and strategies, they worked with her on timing and focus so she could maximize her efforts and enter feeling more comfortable and prepared… I truly believe that the instruction, guidance, compassion and experience that [my daughter] received from Dan and Megan undoubtedly had a huge impact on her success – getting accepted to all 5 colleges that she applied for!”
