About the Founder

Nelson Schnepf

Raised in AZ and the oldest of 7 siblings, Nelson has always loved to teach. He discovered a passion for explaining math in high school when his younger siblings asked for his help with homework. His favorite part of tutoring are those "Aha!" moments when a student just gets it.

The FOCUS Framework

5 principles to guide students toward mastery of their attention and their lives

F

Freedom

Realize you have control over your own life. Your destiny is YOUR choice, and no one can take that from you.

O

Objectives

Define what you want to accomplish in the short and long term. Your objectives act as a compass to guide you in what actions you should take.

C

Content

Bring high quality information and education into your life to act as a spark for your achievements. Use it to fuel your creativity and grow your skills.

U

Understanding

Look around you and try to see the world from other's perspective. Your sphere of influence is only limited by your sphere of understanding.

S

Spirit

Focus comes from the mind, body, and spirit. Make time to connect with the divine in meaningful ways every day to re-center your focus and objectives.

The Result

Students come away from each class with a greater sense of their own freedom and objectives, better content and understanding for the world around them, and an uplifted spirit to inspire their choices.

In a world where attention is the most valuable resource, the FOCUS framework trains students to master their attention and their lives.
