ABOUT US
As a supplement to classroom instruction, MyStudyHall.com offers
children and parents an alternative to traditional tutoring and study centers. English/Language Arts/
Reading units for upper-elementary students through teens offer understandable step-by-step instructions
and then quiz students to let them see for themselves how well they have mastered the
material.
Because many teens and even adults within the United States are entering the workforce unable to read, write, and/or speak proper English, MyStudyHall.com has also produced unique online grammar exercises which are crafted to help students gain fundamental knowledge of the English language.
With MyStudyHall.com, on-line
users will be able to set educational goals and reach
their full potential within the comfort of their own
homes, in school settings, or in the workplace.
Tim Thomasson, president and founder of
MyStudyHall.com, has spent over 20 years in the Information
Technology field.
During this time, Mr. Thomasson has managed numerous software projects
in the capacities of Software Developer and Chief Information
Officer.
“My
vision for MyStudyHall.com grew from my passion and expertise in applying
technology to improve everyday situations,” comments
Thomasson.
“After spending many hours through the
years helping my children with their
homework, I realized that there needed to be an on-line tool to prepare properly
this generation of technologically savvy children to become successful and
productive adults.”
Capitalizing
upon such a passion, Thomasson relied upon his own training
and work experience in order to fine tune MyStudyHall.com.
Tim Thomasson is married
and has three daughters, one of whom is studying to be a teacher.
Dr. C. Grant Endicott, founding partner of
MyStudyHall.com, has seventeen years of experience as a school administrator
and six years of experience as a classroom teacher.
During these 23 years, Dr. Endicott has worked as a popular conference
speaker and has also written for a variety of educational and devotional
magazines. In 1986 Dr. Endicott earned his BS in English Literature (Baptist Bible College). He earned his first
Masters degree in 1990 (Trevecca Nazarene University) in English Literature and a second Masters in Curriculum Development from that
same University two years later.
In
2003, Dr. Endicott earned his EdD (Nova Southeastern University) in Educational Administration with an emphasis in Curriculum Development. Dr. Endicott
has a son and a daughter.
“I have dedicated my life to educational excellence, and MyStudyHall.com
is merely the next step,” states Dr. Endicott.
“If I can empower students to maximize their potential by placing in their hands
an instrument which enables them to succeed educationally at all levels, then I can truly say I have accomplished the goal set forth when the
vision of MyStudyHall.com was first
birthed.”

their future. With our straight-forward, easy-to-use tool, we are hoping to change this negative trend into a positive, educational experience.” Donna
