Ms. Davis is a delight to work with. When we first met she was my homeroom advisor at school. We had a fantastic relationship which led me to reach out to her for tutoring. Our main focus was Spanish and our sessions involved reviewing foundational information, preparing study methods, and test prep. Unlike any other tutor I’ve worked with, Ms. Davis was also a constant source of genuine and insightful life advice. Her delightful and kind presence saw her quickly become a true personal and family friend. My time with Ms. Davis left me with superior study habits and strategies that carried me through college and have allowed me to thrive at a top law school. You truly cannot go wrong working with her.
Ms. Davis was incredible working with my niece Mary. Mary hit “writer’s block” on a senior thesis. She was battling symptoms from a previous concussion, and was unable to focus, organize, or complete a critical fifteen page paper for her major that was due for her to graduate from Stanford University. Mary felt hopeless and discouraged. But after spending time with Ms. Davis, the tides turned. Ms. Davis helped Mary create a thesis outline, daily milestones, and “to do” lists. Mary’s confidence began to return. Ms. Davis has an amazing way of connecting with students and meeting them where they are both emotionally and academically. Mary is a brilliant mind who needed help organizing and believing in her capabilities! I am thrilled to say that after working with Ms. Davis, Mary was able to finish her thesis, submit paper to professor, receive a solid grade, and graduate from Stanford! All of this was up the air before her time with Ms. Davis! I would highly recommend Shaunta Davis as a coach, mentor, and advocate!
I first worked with Ms. Davis in middle school and have continued working with her through all of high school. She is very knowledgeable with all levels of Spanish and a big help to anyone who needs it. Who knows, I may have her helping me in college!
