"I highly recommend Unlocking Potential and working with Ms. Michaela. Our son needed extra supports in writing and math, especially with all the changes from in-person to virtual learning the last two years. Ms. Michaela was able to narrow down the focus and provide individual feedback on his progress. We saw more academic growth in her small group classes than we have seen in his classroom. The small class also helped him stay focused and share more with his peers. He loved being a part of class and having the positive connection and encouragement from Ms. Michaela. We've been so grateful for the services and the amazing growth for our son.”

"Ms. Sellers is a wonderful teacher and tutor. She worked with my son for a little over 4 years starting when he was in the 5th grade. He was always happy to go. I never had to "make" him go because he liked learning with her. Ms. Sellers makes it fun and easy to understand. She empowers the student so they begin to like a subject that is difficult for them such as math or English grammar. My son has dyslexia and was embarrassed thinking he was stupid. Ms. Sellers never let him feel that way. She figures out a way to connect with your student and helps them learn the information in a fun way. This builds their self-esteem and makes them feel confident in their skills and abilities. It was such a relief to find someone who I could trust to help my child. We were on the same team and that team included my son who still speaks highly of her. Ms. Sellers would be a positive influence in your child's life. I would highly recommend her without any hesitation."

"When my son started to learn fractions we struggled. I found Unlocking Potential Educational Services and decided to enroll my son for the 10 week fractions class. It was our first try with online learning so I was not sure if this would work for us. As it turns out it was the right decision. Michaela is very skilled at explaining things in different ways so that every student can grasp the concepts. My son enjoyed the relaxed but structured learning environment and has asked to take Pre-Algebra with Michaela."

"My niece struggled with paragraph writing. My friend recommended Michaela's paragraph writing classes. She has taken all 3 paragraph writing classes and plan to sign up for beginning essay writing in the summer. I have seen my her confidence grow and she is writing strong paragraphs. I would highly recommend any of Michaela's classes. She is very engaging and makes learning fun."

“Michaela is a great educator. Our daughter was struggling in school in all subjects. Michaela first started out with tutoring her in Language Arts. As time went on then she added in math and really helped to change everything around (including our daughters attitude) about school. She is also very good with gifted students. Thank you Michaela for your hard work and dedication!!!”

"Our son was struggling with math in middle school and needed additional help. Michaela was amazing! Our son's grades improved. She always does her best to make it not just a learning experience, but a fun experience. If you have a child that isn't getting what they need at school, Michaela can fill that gap. You won't be sorry!"

“We loved having the ability to include Ms. Michaela's class in our curriculum. As a teacher myself, sometimes kids just need another voice. She is fun, and engaging. She makes the work very easy by teaching step by step examples in class, and then sends them off to do homework that is really interesting. I love how prompt she is at responding. I will be signing up for her next class! I loved it!”

"Michaela is an amazing instructor who works hard to figure out ways to help the student learn. I had two students with her in tutoring; each had different challenges. She was able to help both be successful in their coursework. I'd highly recommend her for your students."

“I usually don’t write many reviews but I felt the need to share my experience with Michaela Sellers/Unlocking Potential Educational Services, LLC in case there are other parents who are looking for math instructions for their child. I have used different methods and tutors but since I found Michaela Sellers, I no longer have to worry. I’ve been homeschooling my son for 3 years and needed a math tutor. My son has worked with Unlocking Potential Educational Services for over a year and with Michaela's wonderful support and knowledge, he has excelled so much. Michaela is encouraging, patient, personal, and provides good feedback. She makes her lessons fun and keeps my son engaged the entire lesson. He is looking forward to math lessons each time. The ability to share screens and to see each other when working on a math problem and to see written examples by the tutor is very useful. It is comforting to know that my son’s math education is in the hands of a highly educated and math loving pro. I would encourage anyone who is looking for one on one tutoring or even just some extra help to give this service a try.”
