Leanne

Academic Success Coaching, Parent

Tika has been an incredible source of help for my daughter who was struggling through high school. She taught her invaluable life skills, helped her develop organizational and study skills, gave her the confidence to advocate for herself and has prepared her to continue this success in college. I will be forever grateful for her help and my daughter is so lucky to have someone like Tika in her corner!

Courtney

Elite ACT Academy, Student

I really struggled with the ACT before going to CDA. My coach was interested in getting to know me to find the best way to help me achieve my academic goals. After my first session I already left with more knowledge than when I walked in. With her help my score improved significantly and I can now get into my dream college! You will seriously never find a more personal academic coach than with CDA. By the end I thought of her more as a friend than my tutor... like a big sister.

Heidi

Academic Success Coaching, Parent

My daughter received one on one help that was a great fit to her personality. I believe this made her much more receptive to receiving tutoring. She had a very good rapport with her tutor, and her grade in class went up a letter grade. I would recommend Carpe Diem.

Emily

Private Tutoring, Student

In a matter of 3 months, my academic coach was able to help me move my grade two letters! She was patient and efficient in each one of our sessions together.

Tim

Academic Success Coaching, Student

CarpeDiem was pivotal to my success in homework, tests, and overall organization. I struggled with Asperger's and my coach was so patient. He not only got me organized, but taught me how to study. Great complement to normal course work.

Hannah

Life Coaching, Student

Such a wonderful experience. A life coach in itself which was so needed for me to sort out all the options for college and admissions at the time. I will use CDA in the future in college!

Jaylon

Before i went to Tika i struggled with my classes. Last year i was not doing well in math and then after the first session with Tika i was already understanding the material more. Tika has helped me with school in a lot of ways and sets goals for me that i will achieve.

Our coach has been amazing working with my son. He has come such a long way from his weekly meeting and is feeling more confident in his work and abilities. She is very personable and communicative.
