Walk into A+ HELP Home Schooling & Tutoring and you’ll discover a small-school setting with big expectations, where students sit a little taller thanks to individualized instruction and advocacy for families.
The school was founded in 2017 by Executive Director Danyel Muegge, a state-certified educator since 1995 with experience in public and private classrooms, kindergarten through twelfth grade, plus adult education.
“Educators are innovators,” Danyel says. “We strive to provide a place where students are guided on a successful educational path, and we succeed in this by treating each student as an individual with strengths and weaknesses, inspiring them to achieve academic standards and goals.”
"A+ HELP is a guiding light,” she adds, “illuminating the paths of self-confidence, individualization, and a love for learning.”
Help for Students, Hope for Parents
Danyel’s graduates have gone on to colleges nationwide, military service, and tech-based programs.
“When my son was in public school, everything was a constant struggle,” Justin and Tiffany King share. “When we moved our child to A+ HELP, everything changed. He's thriving with his peers and catching up so much academically. We credit all of his progress to Danyel and her team.”
Another parent recalls her teenager whose grades “soared,” ending with “an impressive 3.6 GPA upon graduation.” She also enrolled her third-grade child, diagnosed with ADHD and Anxiety in first grade, and now “she's at the end of her sophomore year and on track to graduate on time with a 3.0 or higher GPA.”
“Our son, Zachary, is seventeen and on the autism spectrum,” says another parent. “Like many parents of neurodivergent children, we were searching for a learning environment where he would not only be supported academically, but genuinely understood. A+ HELP provided exactly that. Zachary is now thriving in the nurturing, one-on-one environment, blossoming both intellectually and emotionally.”
From Anxiety to Achievement
Bria Carter remembers feeling “significant anxiety about my future,” then finding “structure, encouragement, and academic support” that carried her through the COVID-19 era. Today, she’s in college pursuing Business Management with a concentration in Real Estate. "The foundation, confidence, and academic discipline I developed at A+ HELP played a significant role in preparing me for this next chapter,” she says.
Another graduate says, “When I first walked through the doors of A+ HELP, I was a 1.7 GPA student. Since attending, I have graduated with honors from Montana State University and am now on track to begin law school.”
A+ HELP offers homeschooling and tutoring services, including ACT, ASVAB, and HiSET prep. Tutoring is $40/hour, built around assessments that “pinpoint weaknesses,” “fill those gaps,” and “leverage strengths for academic growth.”
For students who need more than tutoring, homeschool students attend four days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with individualized support at $550 per hour. During summer months, A+ HELP leans into enrichment to prevent “summer brain drain.” Summer school is $550 per month for all classes or $185 per individual class, with middle and high school tracks plus Life Skills projects. Aftercare is available Monday through Friday.
Danyel also serves families as an IEP consultant and advocate, guiding parents through rights, entitlements, and strategies, and attending meetings when needed.
“Education is the best investment you can make for your children. If you're not happy with your child's current educational situation,” Danyel says, “we can HELP.”
