“My daughter went from an F
to a B in Algebra in two months!”
--Chanel, parent of a ninth-grade girl
“Monica smiles more and punishes
herself less when she makes mistakes. Her feelings
about her self-worth have completely transformed.”
--Jordan, parent of a second-grade girl
“I was really touched earlier
in the year when Lindsay said to me: ‘I finally
realize that
I'm smart.’”
--Lilian, tutor of a fourth-grade girl
“All of Kayla’s teachers
have commented on her academic improvement. She’s
getting her homework done every night, and is doing
so much better on her tests!”
--Patricia, parent of a seventh-grade girl
“The kinds of changes that Girls
Moving Forward inspires in its students are truly
unique. As an educator, I know how difficult it is
to motivate low-performing students; Girls Moving
Forward clearly has an ability to coach students to
their peak performance.”
--Mr. Geary, high school teacher
“Jen hated math so much that
she refused to take Algebra 2 at her school. I signed
her up for an online course, and hired Girls Moving
Forward to help make the experience more positive.
Not only did Jen get her first A in math, she also
walked away from the program with a mentor who is
an important part of her life.”
--Kevin, parent of a twelfth-grade girl
“My daughter was struggling
in several subjects and was completely failing Algebra.
She had trouble with some of the basics and as the
other students advanced, she fell farther and farther
behind. She was at risk of having to repeat the 6th
grade. Working with a Girls Moving Forward tutor allowed
my daughter to raise her grades in all the core classes;
she was able to pass 6th grade! I have seen the increase
in my daughter’s confidence at school as she
understands more and more of the subjects thanks to
her tutor. At the last meeting at her school all of
her core subjects teachers mentioned her improvement
and encouraged me to continue the tutoring through
Girls Moving Forward. I certainly plan on it.”
--Sheila, parent of a sixth-grade girl
“In the short time that my daughter
has worked with Girls Moving Forward, I have seen
not only a dramatic improvement in her math skills,
but more importantly a real eagerness to learn. Her
tutor Jessica, with the guidance of Girls Moving Forward,
has been incredibly inspirational to Jenna. The fact
that she makes learning fun has really helped in the
learning process.”
--Robert, parent of a tenth-grade girl
“My daughter struggled with
learning differences, depression, and low self-esteem.
School felt so difficult to her that she wanted to
drop out. We hired a Girls Moving Forward tutor to
teach to her strengths and help revive her passion
for learning. Our tutor helped us find the right school
for our daughter, and supported her through the transition.
Now our daughter is beginning to talk about college.
What a turn-around!”
--Peter, parent of an eleventh-grade girl
