What Students & Parents Are Saying
My child always struggled with math topics and feeling lost with doing homework. After just 2 weeks in this course, he got an A on his test! He never felt so confident in himself -- we are so happy to have joined CDA.
Every week, my student-athlete had someone who was actually keeping her accountable and making sure she understood, not just handing her worksheets. The VIP Membership was a game-changer.
I’ve done other tutoring programs, but nothing is like CarpeDiem. They are former student-athletes so they understand! I have on demand access to videos, notes, practice tests, and tutoring when I am out of town at competitions — it’s all clear and super helpful. Definitely worth it.
CarpeDiem's strategies helped my son get his grade up from an F to a B in just a few weeks. They helped him catch up on homework assignments and test prep. Boosting his GPA will help him with scholarship packages for college. Couldn’t be more grateful!
The weekly office hours made me feel like someone actually cared about how I was doing. It wasn’t just about solving problems — they helped me develop confidence and a better mindset for life!
I was skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves. My daughter improved her Math and English scores in just a couple of weeks. The versatility of using office hours when she was available, along with on-demand support was a game changer. This well rounded kind of program is what every student-athlete deserves.
Meet CarpeDiem Owner,
Tika Haake
A message from our owner, Tika Haake:
Hi, I’m Tika Haake — founder of Carpe Diem Academics, former Division I athlete, academic coach, and mom of four student-athletes — including two national junior elite gymnasts.
But this isn’t just a business to me. It’s personal.
I’m the daughter of immigrants.I didn’t even discover gymnastics until I was 12 years old. No elite facility. No early start. Just raw talent, a bouncy spirit, and a deep fire to learn.
Through grit, faith, and focused discipline, I went from total beginner to Division I collegiate gymnast in just six years — a journey that’s almost unheard of in the sport.
In college, I trained under legendary coach Chow, whose mentorship shaped my belief that gymnastics is about far more than skills or scores. Under his guidance, I learned the power of mental resilience, self-talk, and steady inner strength — and those lessons became the foundation of the coaching I offer today.
At the same time, I took on the immense challenge of earning a degree in biomedical engineering. I didn’t have much margin for error, so I had to learn fast — what works, what doesn’t, and how to keep going when everything feels overwhelming.
At CarpeDiem, we start with a personalized assessment to understand your child’s unique needs. Then, we create a tailored plan blending expert tutoring with compassionate coaching—so they feel supported, stay organized, and build lifelong success skills.
Let’s help your child reach their full potential. Book a consultation today!
