They told me my son was “below average” and would never catch up.
One year later, he’d jumped 10 grade levels—and I’d broken every “rule” the school gave me.
Why School Failed My Son—And the Method That Helped Him Jump 10 Grades in One Year
Covid-19 taught us something about education: children can learn in all kinds of ways. But it also exposed a problem—too many schools focus on what to teach, not how to learn.
I learned that lesson the hard way—with my own son.
Sean’s Wake-Up Call
At the end of 7th grade, Sean failed Math, English, and Biology. Summer school replaced 300 hours of class with just 64 hours of review. He passed—but his assessment told the real story:
- Math: 4th grade level
- Reading: 6th grade level
- Language: 5th grade level
He wasn’t stupid. He’d simply never been taught how to bridge the gap between what’s in the book and what’s in his mind.
The Turning Point
In six weeks of focused, one-on-one work, Sean gained two years in math. That’s when we decided: we were going to homeschool.
Our “classroom” became a project on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Math, history, English, science—every subject linked to that one theme. The school system was horrified. “You’ll ruin him!” they said.
One year later, Sean’s test scores told a different story: from the 20th percentile to 96th, and from 3 years under grade level to post-high school levels in multiple subjects.
The Secret
I didn’t try to teach Sean everything.
I taught him how to learn.
When students understand the process of learning, they can master any subject—without a tutor for every topic.
Proof Beyond Sean
Parents and educators have seen the same results:
“Rebecca is an excellent teacher… she breaks down complicated concepts and is patient during the process.” – Rhett L.
“My son went from ‘unteachable’ to ahead of his peers. She sees potential where others see problems.” – Kathy, Joel’s mom

Who Am I?
I am a teacher and also a student. You can’t be one without being the other. When I was growing up, my parents were teachers and gave music lessons at home. I would sit in the next room and listen. They made use of a process of learning that I will share with you. I thought everyone learned that way. I thought all teachers taught that way. I was wrong on both counts.
I have taught thousands of students in many subjects, and of course, I use it myself. I have taught students who’d been labeled “unteachable” and those with IQs much higher than mine. This process works. Your child can learn academics, sports and arts, and philosophy, and they’ll see the world in a new light. Everything is connected! And the great thing is this: NO ONE STARTS FROM 0.
If you feel your children have fallen behind and cannot ever catch up, take heart. The mind of a human being is designed to learn, regardless of limitations.
This Process Works!!
Let my students speak for themselves:
Rhett L.
Rebecca is an excellent teacher! She is very good at breaking down complicated concepts and is very patient with you during the learning process. A+!
Betty S.
Rebecca is a great teacher. She zeros in on your individual talents and needs. I must say, I’m doing better than I ever thought I would, and I know it is because of Rebecca’s insights into her students and her knowledge.
Diana B.
I love having Rebecca as a teacher. She works at my pace and is easy to learn from. I have really enjoyed my sessions and would recommend her to anyone who wants to improve.
Don K.
Simply put, learning occurs naturally through experience and is applicable to any task. By following the methodology and process the application works on almost any endeavor. I’ve used it in financial investing, gardening, and other daily activities. That is one of the advantages of this method, you do not need intervention to correct errors and progress. My personal experience has validated the method works and works well.
Kathy, Joel’s mom
When I brought my son, Joel (age 14) to Rebecca, he’d already been rejected by several other guitar teachers. “Children on the autistic spectrum cannot learn guitar,” these teachers said. Joel was devastated. Rebecca, on the other hand, said, “Sure! We can work together. We’ll have fun!” I cried. And they did have fun.
After 3 years of training, Rebecca let us know that two non-autistic students who had started at the same time (with other teachers) were a year behind him. But I noticed more changes as well. He was more confident, and his performance in school improved as well. In fact, the counselor accused us of faking his autism!
You may notice that not all of my students are school-aged children; some are parents with children or grandchildren of their own. Regardless of the age, this process works.
Look at what my colleagues say about this method!
Christian Simpson (Look him up! He’s famous!)
This lady is an unsung genius.
Her methods have taught adults and children alike to master subjects in a fraction of the time it takes traditional approaches – and at a far, far deeper level.
If you are a parent, don’t miss this opportunity. To your child, it is priceless.
