Tina Wiles's Linkedin Analytics

As a professional and a mother, statistics such as these strike a chord with me. Research by McKinsey estimates that the cost of student test anxiety to the U.S. economy exceeds $20 billion annually due to decreased productivity, healthcare costs, and lost potential. BUT test anxiety effects go far beyond test scores. Teacher retention, the mental health of students, and funding can all decrease when test scores are decreasing. ✅Schools with declining test scores experience a 15% increase in teacher turnover, which could result in a turnover rate of 37%! ✅ A study by McKenzie found that students with high test anxiety in charter schools reported experiencing anxiety symptoms at a rate of 30% higher compared to their less anxious peers. ✅Studies have shown that every 1% increase in test scores can lead to an additional $20,000 in funding per school. I'm Tina Wiles, the founder of My2tor, where we specialize in standardized test preparation, but with a vital difference – we focus on reducing test anxiety. We believe that mastering tests involves more than just academic knowledge; it’s about learning how to take tests and building confidence. A struggling mortuary school came to me to help improve its passing rates for its certification exams because they were in jeopardy of losing accreditation. My role on the team that undertook this challenge was to train the students on test-taking strategies and test anxiety. In one year of working together, I helped improve their passing rates from 8% to 79%! 🌟 We work with charter, private, and public schools, where, through professional development for teachers and a comprehensive curriculum, we aim to make student assessments a measure of knowledge, not anxiety. We give teachers and students the tools to handle exams with confidence. 🌱 Impact: The outcome is students who walk into exams feeling prepared and confident, educators who feel supported, and an overall positive shift in educational results. 📚 Qualifications: Our proven approaches and strategies are based on my nearly two decades of experience helping students improve their standardized test scores. 📉 If your test scores are declining OR you are putting time and effort into improving them with no results, let's talk! Feel free to reach out if you're interested in collaborating, discussing, or simply connecting. Together, we can make a significant difference in the educational landscape. https://My2tor.as.me/coffeechat or email me at [email protected]
