Personalized Tutoring

Every learner deserves support designed around who they are and what they need.

TIP Learning provides individualized, research-based tutoring that goes beyond homework help. I identify students’ strengths and needs, establish meaningful learning goals, monitors progres, and help students develop the skills, strategies, confidence, and independence they need to succeed.

I have never met a college professor with a knowledge base as wide and prolific as Dr. Hoody. Not only does she "know it" but she uses it in her personal and professional applications. She inspired me to be a better educational reader and leader, because she models, guides, and inspires.

-Middle School Teacher

The energy Dr. Hoody puts into learning, growing, and problem solving inspires all of us to do our very best. She made me want to do more, continue learning and stretch myself.
