Welcome to Starfish Supportive Learning Services

 We were absolutely thrilled with the work Michelle did with our daughter. She had been struggling in math and a few other subjects in high school, and once Dr. Michelle started working with her, we saw real improvement—not just academically, but also in her confidence and organizational skills. Michelle has a wonderful ability to meet students where they are, create open and supportive dialogue, and help them work through challenges in a way that actually sticks. The progress our daughter made with Michelle’s guidance was truly meaningful, and we are so grateful. 

I couldn't be any more grateful because when I doubted myself and wondered if I could ever homeschool (my son), Dr Michelle made me feel like I am capable and positive about the decision to homeschool him. His success makes me feel that what I'm doing is worth it and really that is thanks to Dr. Michelle giving me hope.

 Dr. Michelle help me through my homeschool era when I couldn’t get help from my teachers or if it wasn’t useful to me. She was able to efficiently teach and get through to me. This led to me passing that year and my current academic success.

Dr. Michelle has been an amazing tutor and mentor to me over the years. She first began tutoring me for online school during covid. She has always been patient with me and explained things in a way I can understand them better. Mia one thing I loved was how she was always willing to help out any way possible, so I know I could always count on her. Because of her I’ve really improved in my schoolwork and gained more confidence in my education and studies. But she’s not just a great tutor, she's also someone who’s easy to talk to. Before each session, we’d talk a little about life and she always made me feel comfortable opening up, which isn’t something that comes easily to me sometimes. Dr. Hicks has not only helped me grow academically and personally, but she has truly inspired me to work hard, stay positive, and enjoy life.
