"Sequoia fosters positive competition and encourages students to strive for improvement. What sets Sequoia apart from other tutoring businesses is that Connie genuinely loves math and cares about how each individual is doing in school. During junior and senior year of high school, Connie gave a lot of advice on SAT testing and even college application and decisions. She isn't just a math tutor, she's a life mentor and a friend."  — Kristen, Gunn '14

"The teachers and tutors at Sequoia pushed me to my academic limits, and the end result was that I became more confident in my academic abilities, and have developed a tenacity I could not have cultivated anywhere else. Sequoia differs from other academic preparation places because of the flexibility of its curriculum. Each of its instructors have a fundamental and theoretical knowledge of the subject they are teaching, and are able to come up with exercises or problems that exactly fit a student's needs. This type of flexibility in the curriculum allows students to focus on areas where they need the most help." — Jared, Gunn '14

"I heard about Connie through a friend so I started taking math lessons at Sequoia. As soon as I realized how much I was progressing, I decided to take more classes at Sequoia. Sequoia helped me become more fluent in my academic subjects so school could be less stressful. Everyone here has the common goal of academic success and continued learning. However, this does not get in the way of Sequoia’s humanity. All of the teachers and students (ranging from third grade to college students) are kind, generous, down-to-earth people, who care about all the students here. Competition here is kept minimal because Sequoia wants everyone to succeed. Connie has a demeanor that everybody loves—she is very supportive and she genuinely cares about everything I do." — Lisa, Harker '15

"What impressed me the most throughout my time at Sequoia Academy was how Connie really helped guide me through difficult problems instead of just giving me the answers. Thanks to her tutoring my math grades began improving quickly and I started having more confidence in my school work. At Sequoia I was constantly challenged to do my best. Whenever I felt like I knew a concept, Connie would always give me harder and more difficult problems to really ensure that I understood how to do them. I learned the importance of being thorough and this is what has helped me develop a strong academic foundation."  — Tom, Harker '15
