Allyson, it's so evident that your work is making such a difference in Timothy's school success, which is playing a role in lifting his self-esteem. He's starting to realize that getting good grades can give you such a feeling of accomplishment.
Thank you for always coming prepared and being flexible in addressing the topic du jour. I finally feel like he's getting the help he's needed all these years. You've somehow figured out how to get to the core of what he needs, and we are forever grateful.

Today I spoke with a prospect that had recently had a bad experience with one of Creative Tutors Plano's competitors. As you can imagine she was frustrated with, pessimistic about, and uncomfortable with tutoring services. She quickly began to relax when I asked extensive information about her child so that I and the tutor could better serve the child's educational needs, but just as important I asked about the child's personality and interests in order to place the best tutor with the student. The more connections you make between teacher/tutor and child the more successful the tutoring will be.

Meet Jan Coltrain-Sapp | Owner
Jan Coltrain-Sapp is the owner of the Creative Tutors Plano. The role is a natural for her since she has always had a passion for education...both from a teaching and from a learning perspective. A Creative Tutors customer before she became an owner, Coltrain-Sapp calls Creative Tutors her "life preserver." When her daughter began having educational and learning difficulties at the age of three, Coltrain-Sapp became very active in her education. Through finding solutions for her daughter, she gained experience with the educational system and the law. She also developed heightened awareness of children's educational needs. Her experience as a working parent gives her particular sensitivity to other parents who work and want the best education for their child.
Coltrain-Sapp graduated with honors from the University of Northern Iowa with a business education major and taught at the community college level. Subsequently, she pursued an MBA in HR and Personnel Management at Northeast Missouri University and received her law degree from the University of Iowa.
