What Our Clients are Saying
“Tierre challenged my fears and plans, then put to paper exactly what I needed when I lacked the words. He completely revamped my résumé and created a cover letter that sparked interest—turnaround time was impressive. Within 4 hours of applying I had two interview requests, more within 48 hours, and ultimately one job offer I accepted.”
Brianna T.
Nurse Practitioner
“Tierre listened, translated my goals into a clear story, and rebuilt my résumé to showcase certifications and value. His direct, encouraging feedback helped me go after roles I was qualified for. I landed my new‑grad LVN position at a psychiatric convalescent hospital with an outstanding offer.”

About our Founder
I’ve led teams, hit hard targets, and changed industries. I started in retail operations and later moved into healthcare leadership. That shift worked because I learned how to translate experience: leading people, improving systems, and delivering results. I’ve helped my teams, friends, and family earn interviews, promotions, and better pay. Tough Study is how I pay that forward.
How Tough Study will work with you:
Résumés
We help highlight what matters and remove what doesn’t. Clear results, scope, tools, and measurable wins in plain language.
Interviews
Practice is non-negotiable. We help you choose your strongest stories, shape them into confident answers, and rehearse out loud until they feel natural.
Momentum
Small actions, done consistently. We help set a pace you can keep and focus on the moves that actually move you forward.
Choose a Power Session or the One-to-One Coaching Intensive for direct guidance, practical tools, and follow-through. I’ll push for clarity, celebrate progress, and keep the standard that gets results so you can show up for your career and your life.
Thank you for trusting Tough Study with your professional journey.
