“I sought out Clarence to help our son with Executive Function challenges during his first year at UCLA. I truly believe Clarence was a material cause of our son’s success. Clarence provided a systematic, but tailored, approach to helping our son develop productive study habits and problem-solving skills that resulted in measurable results. Better yet, Clarence is very personable and down to earth. When I asked our son how he would rank “Dr. Perkins’” overall value to him, he immediately offered, “a ten out of ten.” His parents agree.”
