Hello! My name is Adrienne Cates, and I have been working at GradePower Learning since June. I am blessed to have the opportunity to work here. I am from West Texas, and I graduated from Angelo State University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and History. I retired after teaching middle school in Plano; I taught at the same middle school for 26 years! I enjoy reading, doing all kinds of puzzles, traveling, and spending time with my three children. I look forward to working with your students in order to help them achieve their potential and become a lifelong learner.

My husband and I have lived in Frisco for almost 20 years, and we have enjoyed raising our two sons in this community. I have been teaching in Frisco ISD for 14 years, and I believe it is important to build relationships with students and meet them where they are, whether by reinforcing their strengths or helping to fill gaps in their learning. I enjoy working out, watching sports, participating in outdoor activities, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.

Howdy! My name is Safe.
I am MS in Computer Science and Engineering. I have been tutoring since 2017 at the university and school levels. My bachelor's is in biology and a minor in chemistry. I have completed the IB Program back in High school and continued to love learning ever since. I have done research on bacteriophages in a microbiology lab in 2018, and an RA for a psychology lab in 2019. After graduating, I worked in healthcare and education.
Over the years I learned how to break down complexities my students face. I'm known for being patient with my students. This year, I learned how to do wood art, and started building my own mobile and web application.
I look forward to working with you!
