Skibby Learning Center

As an educator and mother, I will say that Jo Skibby is a mean and miserable person. I had the chance to work for her for a very short period of time. I found her attitude and teaching style to be demeaning and abrupt. The children I worked with were scared of her, and quiet frankly, so was I. I believe there was probably a time when Jo Skibby was a fine educator. But those days are gone, and now she is just a scary old judgmental prejudiced lady who should retire.

In ten minutes over the phone, Jo Skibby’s abruptness convinced me that her Learning Center was a bad fit for my kindergarten son. According to Skibby, I was my son’s problem. Perhaps I am, but she unknowingly convinced me that TutoringClub was a much better option and she was spot-​on correct, so two stars because Jo steered me away and forced me to a consider a second and much better option. Thanks, Jo!

Skibby Learning Center has been the place where some of my best learning experiences have taken place. School had always been difficult for me, especially in math, until I started attending Skibby. Skibby Learning Center gave me so much more confidence and faith in myself that I succeeded greatly in my studies. I am currently a junior at Northern Arizona University and started attending Skibby in 1^st grade until 12^th grade. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with all of the teachers and especially Ms. Skibby. Ms. Skibby sees great potential in each of her students and strives to help them achieve their goals. I would recommend Skibby Learning Center to anyone looking for outstanding tutoring and learning services.

My daughter and step son have used this service. I would agree that Ms. Skibby has a high regard for her knowledge, but not much regard for her clients. After an unsuccessful attempt to tutor my daughter, I was informed that I couldn’t expect much due to my daughters poor habits. Of course this wasn’t mentioned until we gave up on their tutoring and questioned the large bill for their services. It would be nice to get the feedback before the bill. Also, don’t brag about some schools costing $ 3000 per month and wondering how I could get a decent private school for «only» $ 1000 per month. All in all, you don’t always get what you pay for, especially at Skibby.

After a questionable Chancy Bruce readiness test. I started researching for other facilities for a second opinion and tutoring & found Skibby Learning Center. I was a bit concerned about how Chancy & Bruce can give a 20 minute test (during my child’s normal nap time) and have «solid» results. I spoke with Jo Skibby over the phone and was impressed! She spent 45 minutes discussing my concerns, educating me & even gave me ideas of things I can do on my own with my child. She was patient and never once tried to «sell» me on her facility, in fact she recommended some speech facilities and asked me to call her back in a month if I was interested. Its been over a month and we have met with her. While she isn’t super warm and cozy, she appears to be patient, is well educated & is great at keeping my child focused and on task. I love the one on one customized plan she puts in place.
