About Simmie

Experience: 10 yrs

Are you tired of teachers calling home to tell you how badly your kid is failing? As a 7th grade learning specialist, I help students just like yours turn their life around. In my experience, the problem is rarely the student. In 2026, many teachers are still teaching curriculums they created in 1999. Without reducing rigor I create lessons that are engaging, relevant and multimodal. I reinforce learning by activating 4 sensory inputs (sight, sound, touch, and speech). I help students retain information by giving their brains 4 different ways process information. The changes you will see in your child may seem miraculous, but they will be nothing short of hard work, perseverance and above all else their willingness to learn. How to get started: In your outreach include the following - Student's age - Student's grade level - Classifications if any (Learning Disability, ADHD, English Language Learner etc) - Student's hobbies/interests - # of hours/ Days / Preferred Location

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life-Changing Tutoring Experience Before working with Mr. H., I was honestly exhausted. Every week felt like another phone call home about missing assignments, low grades, or behavior issues. My son had completely checked out of school, and no matter what we tried, nothing seemed to stick. From the very first session, Mr. H. approached things differently. He didn’t treat my child like “the problem.” Instead, he took the time to understand how my son learns, what he enjoys (he loves anime and gaming), and built lessons around that. For the first time, my child was actually excited to learn. What really stood out was how engaging and interactive the sessions were. My son wasn’t just sitting and listening—he was seeing, speaking, moving, and actively participating. Mr. H. explained concepts in multiple ways until it finally clicked. Within a few weeks, we saw a huge shift:     •    Homework started getting done without constant reminders     •    Test scores improved     •    Confidence went up     •    And most importantly… the negative calls home stopped It honestly felt like a complete turnaround. Mr. H. is not just a tutor—he’s a learning specialist who understands how to reach kids that traditional teaching methods often miss. He keeps expectations high but makes learning accessible and meaningful. If your child is struggling and you feel like nothing is working, I highly recommend giving Mr. H. a chance. The results may feel “miraculous,” but like he says—it’s really about the right support and a child finally believing they can succeed.
