Individual Sessions

My daughter was a B-student and an average test taker until she took Dr. Shirani’s class last summer.  Now she does exceptionally well in tests and scored in the 96^th percentile on a nationally ranked test.  Because of this she qualified for the John Hopkins TIPS program for gifted young people.  She will take the SAT alongside high school seniors, and she is still in the 7^th grade!  I’ve already recommended that my friends send their kids to Dr. Shirani.

I have two children who have ADD & Dyslexia.  They were so behind in school that Dr. Shirani [de Alwis-Chand] was referred to us by our school.  We have been here for 1 ½ years, and my children are absolutely doing fabulously.  I can’t say enough about her skills.  She is a Godsend to us.  Without her help, my children would not be able to function at their grade level.  We love her!

“She makes me feel so awesome!!”

“I was so glad to have had the opportunity to have learning strategy lessons with Dr. Shirani. She is a woman of integrity, intelligence and is down to earth to see to it that her students succeed. I was having a problem with speed reading and a friend recommended her to me. I can boldly say that, my going to her has really paid off. Dr. Shirani has helped me to over come that problem and has even gone beyond.”

“Just finished my first pharmacological exam. I was a bit anxious but did the exercises we talked about (tense and release) and talked myself through each question. All in all I missed one question.”

“I got an A on my test today…I used the test-taking tactics you taught me…I even got questions right that I had no clue of the answer.”
