Testimonials

JoAnne Dowd, Casco Bay High School teacher, National School Reform Faculty Trainer:

"As a parent and educator, I would want my child to receive help from CC Davies. She is so genuine and honest with students about their strengths and what they need to work on. She encourages them to face themselves head-on and begin to build the internal motivations they will need not just to be successful in school, but in life. She is an incredibly intelligent woman with a wide array of skills for students to draw on, both academic and social."

Colleen, mother of a high school junior:

"My son began working with CC in September of his junior year. They worked on everything from organizing his backpack to improving his writing process and SAT prep. His teachers have seen better quality work in the classroom, and we as parents have seen our son's self confidence grow. Working with such a talented, caring and knowledgeable educator has made a big difference in our lives. We love CC."

Linda, parent of a King Middle School student:

"The sessions with CC have been so valuable to me because she took a lot of time to get to know my son's style of learning. In this way he enjoys learning and is more motivated and self-confident. CC is very enthusiastic and inspires my son. She is gifted at finding that connection with him and takes joy in seeing him succeed. He looks forward to sessions with CC. She gives him constructive feedback and is very willing to listen to my feedback as well."

Sixth grade student:

"CC got to know me by giving me a survey. I like that! I feel more confident in my work at school and that learning can be fun. I am doing a lot better in all my subjects at school. CC is a really nice person and makes learning fun. I like sessions with CC because they are interactive."

Mc Auley High School Junior:

"After taking CC's SAT Crash Course and getting amazing tips, my confidence level about the SAT went soaring. I'm a smart kid, but a terrible test taker. After learning the tips and taking the practice tests, I did better than I have in a long time. The environment is comfortable and helped me to feel better not only about the test in general, but about myself, too."

Mark Scandling, chairman of the English Department at Deerfield Academy:

"A patient listener and trusting mentor, CC inspires students to pursue their own insights. She also values precision and encourages her students to trust detail and exact expression, whether in making analytical arguments or crafting fiction and poetry."

Tenth grade student:

"As a teacher, Ms. Davies was always available to review and analyze my writing pieces. With this dedication to her students, she helped me develop a solid foundation of writing techniques and skills that are necessary for a student in high school to have. She helped me understand punctuation and sentence structure so that my paragraphs would flow better. I owe a great deal of where I am now in my writing process to Ms. Davies and I highly recommend her."

Derek Pierce, principal of Casco Bay High School:

"CC Davies is a dynamite educator who can motivate and instruct a range of learners. Her wisdom matches her caring; her integrity matches her enthusiasm."
