What Cortney's students are saying

"I am thankful that EMP is one-on-one tutoring. I prefer that dedicated instruction and attention when paying for a tutoring program. Dr. Cortney and I always work through challenging questions, and those are so helpful. They hit all of the major points about the concept and allow further discussion about ways that the test may frame questions and choices. Our sessions have followed the same routine since we started meeting, and I like that. I know how much and what we’re going to accomplish in the two hours. I also have an organized document of question explanations and notes to review on my own. Dr. Cortney has made helpful and practical suggestions for my studying tactics!"

"Thank you so much for all your assistance with this process! Tutoring with EMP has been invaluable for my improvement and confidence. Sessions were easy to schedule, very informative, and focused on high yield subjects and my personal weaknesses. My tutor helped me understand tricky concepts and taught me new test taking strategies. This was a wonderful investment into my education and future career."

"She was very kind, understanding and supportive. It felt like she went out of her way to tailor the sessions to my needs. I felt very heard and understood. Plus she was very knowledgeable! And if she didn’t know the answer right away, she always followed up quickly with the answer."

"Dr. Whittington has been phenomenal. Her attention to detail has been incredibly helpful and I deeply appreciate how encouraging she has been throughout this very confusing and stressful time. She has always made herself available and been open to pivoting with me when I change my plans. She is an absolute rockstar and I could not have gotten through this with out her."

"Dr. Whittington was amazing to work with, knowledgeable, and knew exactly how to help me target my weaker areas. I was able to raise my score by 20 points in just the 4 short weeks I worked with her!"
