Testimonials
Any learner at any stage would benefit from Betsy and Roger’s attention. These are pros at pedagogy—close readers, veteran writing coaches, experts at making habitual critical thinkers out of students. They know what colleges expect from students, and they know how those expectations are changing. But they offer more than experience and “inside” information: Betsy and Roger have oriented their entire lives toward service through teaching, and bring joy as well as expertise to their efforts. You’ll recognize the difference immediately. - Aidan R.
Sometimes, the most difficult decisions turn out to be the most important decisions we make. And when it came to deciding how to move my daughter out of the traditional high school system (both private and public), I knew it was going to be a decision that would change her life forever. I never dreamed that this decision would also be the BEST decision ever made on her behalf. Betsy DelleBovi crafted a homeschool curriculum that was tailored to my daughters’ strengths and interests, while simultaneously nudging her to reach beyond her potential. Betsy’s style, undergirded with her intellect and intuitive sense of what motivates students, resulted in Angela’s academic achievement that never would have been realized in a traditional classroom setting. Her grades were the highest she has ever received. Her time management expertise carried over into all aspects of her life. She was happy, energetic, and proud of her accomplishments. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for the life changing effect Betsy had on my daughter. It was the best parenting decision I made - Kelley C.
Betsy and Roger offer their extensive experience, knowledge, compassion and skills to the nerve-wracking college preparation process. From SAT prep to college searches, essay guidance and scholarship search assistance, DS Education Services has assisted my daughter in how to prepare for and prioritize the steps necessary in achieving her desired outcome of admission to the college of her choice. They take the time to find out exactly what kind and how much assistance the student is looking for and can tailor a plan to meet those needs. - Lori
COVID was tough on us all, but I believe it was extra hard on our kids - especially those who were trying to finish up high school and plan for college. Without a lot of one-on-one college guidance from my daughter’s high school, I was searching for a source of assistance. I was so thankful to find Betsy and Roger. The help we received from them eased my daughter’s mind and calmed her worried mom!
They were life savers during the stressful time of college planning. Not only did they help us get on the right track, they also encouraged my daughter at a level not offered in high school. And they made me feel like I wasn’t alone in my stress and confusion.I highly recommend them to any parent/student who is navigating the college planning process. - Donna
Betsy DelleBovi and Roger Stephenson stand out as two of my most influential and formative mentors. I count myself very fortunate to have learned from them at a very important time in my life. I had the privilege of experiencing their dedication and true passion for bringing out the best in me, as a student and a person. I was also able to witness their impact on my fellow students and to see, first hand, what true care and passion for developing a student as a whole person truly meant and can accomplish - I'm grateful to this day. - Kristen
During his college selection process, my son became overwhelmed. Finalizing a college decision, including early curriculum decisions, exhausting all financial aid options, securing housing were just a few of the challenges that Roger & Betsy were able to help him work though. They also helped him build his confidence in his own ability to navigate similar processes moving forward. An invaluable experience. - Tony
