About
We offer certified educational coaching, study skills, and have tutors with over 20 years experience in this field. We work with the students strengths to ensure their success and confidence to last throughout their entire life. We are compassionate, humorous and make learning interesting and fun. We also offer test prep for all grades, and levels and Masters Essay/Thesis help.
I thoroughly enjoy using my own creativity to find ways to help the student I am tutoring. Whether the student is in grammar school or college, I love to see that "light bulb" go off in the students eyes, which is normally followed by a smile that they "get it." That is when I know that I've done my job, and that is what truly makes it rewarding.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Depending upon the subject that the student needs help in, the first thing I do is see where their comprehension levels lie. I do this in order to give additional exercises to both help them raise their levels and challenge them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have experience as a NYC Board of Education Teacher, and I've been a tutor for over 20 years. I have experience in mainstream classroom, special education, english as a second language and learning abilities of all types. I am also a certified education coach.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you have a teacher who is patient, and makes the subject interesting for you! Having a tutor means that it's the teachers responsibility to help you in a way that you will completely understand. If you have the right tutor it should be something you look forward to.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
If there is something I don't understand, how will you help me understand it?
Do you have a sense of humor?
