Strive provides the academic support I wish I had growing up.
After struggling throughout much of school myself, I understand how discouraging it can feel to work hard and still fall behind.
That’s why I founded Strive: To help neurodivergent students become confident, independent learners through personalized instruction.

What Sets Strive Apart
No, Strive is not a traditional learning center. Instead of requiring families to come to one location, we offer flexible tutoring at home, at a local library, or virtually depending on location, tutor availability, and the student’s needs. This makes specialized tutoring more accessible and convenient for families.
