What is “Dancing for Dollars” you may ask? Well, rest assured it has NOTHING to do with stripper poles or any such thing. “Dancing for Dollars” is the effort of our new Executive Director, Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA, to bring in funds and bring awareness to Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. Mrs. Cooper has been known to “cut a rug” and then trip over it.  Mrs. Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA But she is willing to make a spectacle of herself to help children who are in need but can’t afford to pay for the services. Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. is a 501 (c ) (3) organization registered with the State of Florida as such. We were founded nearly 30 years ago by our former Executive Director, Ernestine Mosley. The mission of the tutoring center has always been the education of its enrolled students. They have striven to reach those students that may have been deemed “unreachable” by the system. The ones who were labeled as lacking in some necessary component to succeed in school. ...

There is a lack of services for young adults on the Autism Spectrum once they “age out” of the system. Sadly, many of these young people become involved in the Juvenile Justice System because of a lack of guidance. It costs Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc (HTTC). $3,180 per year to educate and mentor a student in our program. Per the Vera Institute of Justice, in 2010, in 40 states, it costs an average of $31,286 annually to house a single inmate. In an effort to offer programs and services that are beneficial to the community, HTTC will offer “Stepping Out” Phase II. HTTC will assist young adults on the Autism Spectrum ages 15 - 25 with transitioning from high school into the work place. In other News… Sadly, our Founder and Executive Director Emeritus, Mrs. Ernestine Mosley has transitioned. She will be sorely missed by our family and the Central Florida community. May she rest eternally in peace. Godspeed sweet soul.  Mrs. Ernestine Mosley Mrs. Holly ...

Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc was founded on October 15, 1991 by Mrs. Ernestine Mosley. Mrs. Mosley was a Teacher, Guidance Counselor and Assistant Principal in the Orange County Public School System for over 30 years. While in the system, she noticed that many students were falling through the educational cracks because their parents were not able to get them the extra help they needed to help them pick up the concepts that they were missing. When she retired, rather than sitting in her rocking chair, she decided to open the tutoring center and make a difference in the community by offering the education basics - reading, writing, and math. Initially, we began helping athletes who had gotten offered entry into college but needed to raise their GPAs and test scores. Eventually, we expanded into after school programs and summer camps. At this point, we have evolved into S.T.E.M. Education Programs and GED Preparation along with Workforce Preparation. We look forwar...

I was on Facebook today looking for material and I came across a post by Tyler Perry.  He mentioned writing a letter to the child you once were.  What would you say to your “kid self?”   I spent some time thinking about this yesterday and I’m still not sure exactly what I would say to myself.   Maybe I would say “There is nothing wrong with you.   Just because you see the world differently does not mean that your view is wrong.”   Or perhaps, “Don’t be sad little Holly, everything will turn out great.   You are going to grow up to be an outstanding individual with lots of friends and people that love you just the way you are.” I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’m tearing up as I write this…   I suppose we choose to rewrite our past to make it better than it actually was, right?   I seem to “remember” having a great childhood.   I didn’t have a care in the world, right?   I think I was a happy child, wasn’t I? So Li...

I missed a very important trip this past weekend.  A few of our friends went to D.C. to visit Saxwell's mom, now affectionately known to our group as "Momma Sax."  I really wanted to go too but I just couldn't bring myself to make the trip.  You see with all of this recent self-discovery, I realized that I just didn't feel emotionally strong enough to handle making the trip.  I have a very odd situation going on with me.  I have to mentally prepare myself for travel in order to get through it.  I love the idea of traveling but yet I find it quite stressful and exhausting.  You know, getting to the airport, checking your bags, going through security all to end up sitting at the gate waiting...  Then, finding a seat on the plane, stowing away your carry-on luggage and so forth...  I thought better of making the trip because for some reason, my nerves have been frazzled lately.  I have no idea why. The idea of going through all that and t...
