 My
name is Cindy Ferriman. I am a wife, mother, teacher, and
tutor.
I am a *real* person, not some fly-by-night web guru or
some flashy marketing company who spent more time on my website than
I did on my guide. I will judge my success on the number of
people I help on the ACT test, not on the amount of money I make -
which is why you will find that my ACT prep guide is priced far less
than all the others.
Below is
some information about who I am... It is not very exciting,
but it is *real*. Thanks for taking the time to read about me.

Cindy has a varied history, but does have a common message: supporting
others efforts to experience success at the highest level. This passion
and talent comes from a focus of excellence when excellence was never
anticipated. She received a Bachelor of Science in education, from Miami
University and was awarded a scholarship to receive a masters degree in
reading and education from Miami University. She started to tutor
college underclassmen while earning her degrees.
She accepted her first teaching job in a rural
setting that included a split in the day: half of the day was spent with
gifted children and the other half was spent with learning disabled
students. After leaving this classroom experience, she spent more than
30 years teaching in different venues. Providing academic and test
support to K-12 grade students has remained a constant. Her private
practice has helped thousands of learners. She has worked on college
campuses as well as teaching study skills, workshops to other teachers,
and seminars dealing with a variety of specialized topics.
As an employee of the State of Michigan, she has
provided individualized instruction and support to identified college
students that needed academic intervention in order to achieve success
in the classroom and ultimately to an earned diploma. One of her
specialties is helping students to prepare for the ACT test. Over the
years, she has been using what works to help all students to improve on
the ACT test. These simple, but proven, strategies do help the test
takers to gain confidence and improve on the ACT test. She is active in
her community in supporting educational endeavors and is often consulted
for advice on higher education. |
