“Following their initial session, my daughter remarked with enthusiasm at least 3 times "I love this lady". I found her after a prayer and a frantic Facebook search. Ellie has been a sincere blessing for our family. And....YES SHE PASSED THE CLASS!!! Thanks Confidence Academics!!!”

Kerry Thompson, SAT Prep Parent

“Ellie has been absolutely fantastic as a math tutor for my two sons. She is very personable and she is able to explain math problems (and the reasoning) in a way that registers with my both of my kids. They are definitely making progress toward improving their math skills.”

Grace H., Algebra-2 Student

"Mrs. Smedley inspired me and encouraged me through a transition year from public school to homeschool. Her class felt personal and found a way to make math fun and something anyone can comprehend with the accompaniment of good help. She was very patient with me, as I am a slow learner, but in the end I grew in confidence because of her help."
