Our Mission

Our mission is to provide results-based support for students who want to acquire necessary skills and strategies to succeed in any challenging academic situation. Our method consists of incorporating responsibility for data-based action planning—based on current research and proven effective practices—while promoting exemplary instruction, supporting expanded accountability for both students and educators, and escalating best practices in classrooms and schools. While this may include assistance with the SAT, ACT, final exams, or basic instructional support, our goal is to create a nurturing learning environment in which students may achieve exemplary education in the state of South Carolina. Our team is dedicated to targeted instruction and collaboration in order to deliver measurable improvements and consistently stellar results.

Our academic support service is based on the belief that our clients’ needs are of the utmost importance, and our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. We are proud to support students who help us live up to our name each and every day. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from referrals of clients sharing their success stories with others. Capabilities caters to all students from preschool to postsecondary instruction. It really is a science! Time is always an issue… the time to make a difference is now!

Best Tutoring in Charleston! Valerie and her staff have been such a blessing with our son.
