“By the second term this year, I was struggling to get over a 60 on my tests. But there was no way I was going to let myself fail. That‘s when I reached out to BPIE and applied for a mentor.
I was matched with Tanya and Greg. They teach me how to read. They sit with me for an hour and a half with smiles on their faces as I figure out how to pronounce ‘subconscious.’
They helped me build my grade up from a 48 to an 88 by the end of the term – two points shy of an A! What kind of tutor would do that? A mentor would.”
