Saving for College

Those three words can send chills down a parent's spine. Perhaps it's because we look at the total amount that it will cost us.  I found this tip the other day and wanted to forward it along.  Just like our children need to "chunk" information to learn, parents, or  your teenager, need to "chunk" the cost of college.  $5 a day for 365 days=$1,825! That's the start of a great savings account for all the extras you need while in college, like residence hall decor, pizza, gas, movies etc . . .   Now that's a great New Year's resolution !

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.
