Martha has helped my son's organizational skills, giving him strategies to write essays and follow through with school assignments. She has also helped nurture his artistic interests, especially in photography, by giving him an opportunity to help with her business card and brochure design. She has an innate sense of what will help him to feel good about himself and his education.
My son has difficulties with standardized tests, but Martha helped him study for his Regents tests and his SAT. She had great patience with him, giving him an individualized approach to test taking, one that played to his strengths. She even had a hand in course selection, suggesting which classes would best suit his interests and abilities. In the end, he did better than any of us could have imagined!

Martha's interactions reveal that she has a strong understanding of adolescent development in helping adolescents work through conflicts and issues. She knows adolescent language, youthful culture, and the interpersonal challenges that occur during the teen years. She also knows when to use humor with teens. She listens closely to my son's concerns about school and conveys to him a sense of caring.
During our son's first meeting with Martha she was able to identify his preference for kinesthetic and visual learning. She then developed follow-up lessons based on his learning style and preference. More importantly, Martha has helped our son identify coping strategies to manage his bi-polar illness, to value his unique gifts and talents, and to remain in school.

Both of my boys were diagnosed with ADD in ninth grade. Mind Matters Learning Center was able to recognize their processing speed issues, differentiate their instruction, help the boys identify their strengths and develop new skills to help them achieve academic success. Mind Matters helped the boys face the challenges of ADD and become high achieving students with bright futures.
Martha is an interesting and compelling individual. She is an obvious lifelong learner and her enthusiasm is infectious. She is a great listener. She is willing to share her opinions and entertain yours with respect. Martha can change lives around!

My son worked with Martha preparing for the ACT and SAT tests. She gave him personalized tips on how to take the exams and helped him brainstorm for the essay component. His SAT scores went up over 100 points. We cannot thank Martha enough.
Martha worked with my son brainstorming and polishing his college essays. As a result of this, my son was accepted at his number one choice. One school even wrote back that they loved his college essay. Thanks Martha.
