Bio
Judi Harrington
When our 6th grade daughter was struggling with executive function and organizational skills, I turned to Alexis and Prepped & Polished for help. Alexis and I engaged in a lengthy, detailed discussion of my daughter's strengths and challenges, and he reviewed data I provided with extreme care and understanding of our family’s goal: Namely, enable my daughter to independently manage her homework planning and execution. Alexis found a terrific tutor match for us. Allison was instrumental in teaching our daughter time management skills in a way that spoke to her, and taught her habits that work for her. Fast forward to the present: our daughter is a sophomore in high school who manages her homework with complete independence; no intervention from us. She is an honor roll student and has found a passion in mathematics and science. P&P was a blessing for our family. Alexis and Allison were firmly in our corner and helped us through the growing pains of learning to learn. If your child is struggling with organization and time management, now is the time to teach them to get a handle on it, and P&P is the source to help you get there.

Alexis and his firm, Prepped and Polished, have been wonderful teachers for the students I have sent for test preparation. My students who have worked with Alexis have all seen their scores improve substantially. Their chances for admission and scholarship increased exponentially due to their rising scores, and I have to thank Alexis for his professionalism and desire to guide college - bound students on the "best path" for their personal journey.
