Mrs. Cynthia Head - CAP Founder - English
|
Cynthia first became passionate about ACT® Prep when she realized the scholarship potential. She has had the joy of watching her two sons make it to the top 1% of ACT® test takers. When working with her students, she frequently asks the question, "What would I want for my child in this situation?" This topic is close to her heart as she helps them avoid the foolish mistakes she made with student loan debt. Watch her MY WHY video.
Cynthia received her B.S. in Mass Communications from Middle Tennessee State University and spent the first part of her career as a television producer for The 700 Club. In 2011, she became a teacher and earned her MAT in Secondary Education from the University of Memphis. In addition to leading CAP, Cynthia teaches Yearbook, Honors English III, and ACT® Prep at a nationally recognized school. One of Cynthia's deepest desires is to honor God by using her abilities to serve her family, friends, and students. In the public school system, she is limited when sharing her faith. At CAP, tutors and students are encouraged to pray together knowing that Christ gives the knowledge, strength, and courage to reach our goals. |

1 PERCENTERS - PEER TUTORS
Edgar Lozano - Math & Science
|
Edgar Lozano is a Yale undergraduate majoring in Mathematics and Philosophy, with which he plans to go into either education or financial advising. In high school he made a 36 on the ACT®, a feat he had thought impossible for himself. He wants to help other students realize that a good score is within reach and that all it takes is a bit of study and focus. When he’s not reading up on math and philosophy, he’s more than likely catching up on events in the financial market.
