Personalized
Instruction
The big education companies use cookie cutter approaches to teaching and learning while charging way too much. High Tide personally tailors instruction to the unique needs of every student. Relationships begin with a free consultation to identify your goals and to plan an individualized learning strategy to meet them. Do you need a little financial help? Sliding-scale fees are available for lower-income families and individuals.

Hi, I’m Jon Markle!
I founded High Tide because I saw the need for a much more personalized path to educational success. My mission is to instill confidence in students to reach their academic goals, and my unique background as an instructor in many different educational settings sets High Tide apart. Instead of teaching you a one-size-fits-all system, I will help you to identify the strategies that challenge you by building on your existing strengths — so that your achievement rises.

College Applications
The secret to a college acceptance letter is great student writing, and great writing takes practice.
