Dr. Hammons has tutored extensively for English and reading, as well as French, Statistics, Geography, and remedial services. He combines genuine, deep academic knowledge with a fun-filled approach to learing that is guaranteed to break through the walls surrounding any student and help them understand.

Tutoring and counseling are so closely related that it is hard to make any meaningful separation between the two. Any good teacher has the best qualities of a mentor and any mentor is a teacher. Our founder believes that one-to-one is the original and best way to learn anything, especially difficult or new materials, or subjects that have proven difficult for the student to digest.

Any person or company needing instruction or counseling training would do well to examine Dr. Hammons' methods and his successes. A selected list of presentations is below.

These represent only a few of the hundreds of presentations that Dr. Hammons has planned and delivered. A complete list is available upon request. He will also tailor a presentation to any needs you or your group may have.
