Our story • Our purpose

Learning begins
with belief.

Learning looks different for every child. We begin with your family’s goals and focus on the skills and habits that help your learner move forward.

Through live tutoring and thoughtful parent communication, we make room for practice, questions, and the confidence to try again.

Michaela McGriff

Founder • Success Academy

Michaela McGriff is a North Carolina certified educator with more than 12 years of experience in education. She saw a need for underrepresented children to receive support that recognizes their strengths and responds to how they learn.

Success Academy grew from that purpose: to offer differentiated, sometimes unconventional instruction that meets each learner where they are.

In her classroom experience, Michaela reports that students from varied backgrounds performed above state averages on standardized English Language Arts assessments. That experience strengthened her belief that meaningful growth is possible when educators are willing to adapt their approach.

At Success Academy, that belief guides personalized reading and math tutoring, patient practice, and partnership with families. Believe • Build • Become is a commitment to seeing possibility and helping learners take their next step.

Believe • Build • Become.
