”Christine knew how to work with Jake in a way that not everyone did. She would always try to implement different strategies to ensure that he understood a concept. She not only helped with his behavior plan at home but in his public school classroom. On occasion, she advocated for me in improving strategies with his teachers when he was having difficulty in class.

”I am the father of three young boys who go to Motivating Minds. I am extremely happy with Motivating Minds as their quality of education is outstanding and truly first-class. School has become fun, exciting and something the children look forward to everyday. The small student to teacher ratio is a tremendous advantage for all children to receive a highly tailored education experience. The school uses advanced techniques like Project Based Learning to accelerate the students' learning. I can’t recommend the school enough and I believe Motivating Minds to be the best education institution on Key Biscayne.

”The love the teachers at Motivating Minds have for their students is immense. Joseph uses his bike to go to Motivating Minds every day, and as soon as he arrives home (sometimes a little later because he forgets), he texts his teachers that he has arrived safe. This is because they care, and it is not just a relationship in the classroom, it is beyond that. All the field trips are amazing, the space is full of love, the art is fantastic, how they plan the classes are great, and they are always open for improvement. The kids have P.E. now! For me, Motivating Minds is like my dream come true. Christine, Katie, and Monica, my humble and huge thanks for everything you have done for Joseph. I wish you all the best, and I hope that this beautiful work can extend to more children.

”Among all the uncertainty and fear in the world during 2020, there was a dependable and peaceful light for our family, Motivating Minds. We had the blessing of using Motivating Minds homework helping services in the past to great success. Our daughters loved going there. After trying different tutors and systems, we realized they were at ease and learned the best at Motivating Minds. They were engaged in learning in a joyful and safe environment. When we realized virtual schooling was not working for our family, we did not think twice about enrolling them for homeschooling at Motivating Minds. We are glad we did and now we are seriously considering keeping them there even when things go to a new normal. Our daughters love going to school and are confident they can learn anything. The individualized and loving attention they receive is priceless. Thank you Motivating Minds for making learning fun and for reinforcing strong values to our daughters!

”Our son's experience in his first year at a public middle school was quite challenging. The rigorous classes, endless homework, zero academic support, no guidance, crowded classrooms, and teachers who didn't care if he passed or failed. The joy in his life disappeared and the daily tears took place, filling him with frustrations and no hope for success no matter how hard he tried. When he was put on Academic Probation, we knew it was time for a drastic change. After visiting Motivating Minds for their amazing tutoring sessions and homework help, it felt like the perfect place for him to be on a daily basis. He attended Motivating Mind's homeschooling program for the rest of his middle school years. The entire faculty and staff became part of his family, filling him back up with love, laughter, support, and all the tools he needed to succeed. The hands-on exploring, field trips, educational games, group projects, and comfortable setting brought back the joy for learning. Our son began to believe in himself!

As he completed the middle school curriculum, we decided that Cushman High School was the perfect place to transition into. Motivating Minds prepared our son for high school like we never imagined. He went on to graduate with Honor Roll merits all four years. He was inducted into the National Honors Society and received his diploma with Magna Cum Laude. And to top it all off, he was admitted into his first choice - Rollins College, among many other universities he applied to. It is unquestionable that without his experience at Motivating Minds, our son would have continued to struggle through middle school and high school. He did not become a different student. It is clear that the environment he was in made all the difference! We are so grateful for Christine and all her staff!
