With over 10 years of experience in elementary schools (both as a teacher and administrator), and over 10 years of experience tutoring, I have a commitment to success and unfaltering high expectations of all learners under my tutelage. I have a history of raising attainment and achievement. More specifically, I specialize in raising attainment in standardized test scores. I believe in teaching highly engaging and practical lessons, and strive for excellence through consistent high quality, precision teaching. I achieve success by building trust in my students through mutual respect and empathy, and most importantly, having a bit of fun while learning together!

Besides tutoring, life keeps me very busy. I am the very proud father of 3 children (two boys and a girl), and a Captain with the Wilton Fire Department. 

As a certified special education teacher and literacy specialist, I have spent the past 11 years teaching children with autism, ranging in ages from 4 to 11. I specialize in developing and adapting curriculum to meet the individual needs of each student and to make learning accessible for all children. I believe that all students can learn and thrive, and my aim is to determine how to best accomplish this goal. I consider each student’s interests and strengths and use this information to make learning enjoyable and motivating.

As a current 5th Grade teacher, I love working with children. I received my Bachelor's Degree from the College of Saint Rose in Childhood Education with a concentration in Mathematics. I then went on to receive my Master's Degree at the University of Albany for Literacy B - 6. I started my career in the Bronx teaching 4th Grade; I learned so much about teaching and the teacher I wanted to be. After a few years, I moved back home where I am currently teaching 5th grade in the Capital Region. I believe in building a good relationship with each child, understanding their interests and strengths,  while making learning interesting and motivating them to do their best.

I am a certified English Teacher, in Grades 5-9 and 7-12. I have spent the past seven years teaching in the classroom, and tutoring for local school districts and agencies. I specialize in Middle School English, and SAT Verbal prep. 

I love helping students improve their reading, writing, and strategic test- taking skills. I am passionate about helping students achieve, in all facets of the English curriculum. It is important for me to do a personal assessment with each student in order for me to know my students' strengths and next steps. 

I am a former teacher who is fortunate to also have a successful career as an author of books for kids and teens! I have a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and a Bachelor's in Psychology. I taught gifted K-8 and special education. I currently do author visits and online visits in schools. I homeschooled my son, who is on the autism spectrum, from K-12, and now that he has successfully gone away to college, I get to fulfill my passion for teaching kids one-on-one by tutoring. My goal is to provide tutoring that is engaging, personalized, and effective. I love seeing students progress in reading, writing, and math and to gain confidence along the way!

I love to read, write, get together with friends, listen to podcasts, and to enjoy my son when he comes home? I have a Shitzu-Maltese named Annabelle and a cat, Wesley.

I have been a passionate educator for over 20 years. I have a Master's Degree in Education and am certified in both Indiana (General Education & Special Education) and New York (Special Education). One of my strengths is the ability to connect with students, and I help them to see their value and how they fit within school and life. Having a son with Asperger's Syndrome has grown my passion in helping students reach their full learning potential. My priority is preparing today's learners for a fast-paced world.

I am a second year student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Duke University School of Medicine, with a focus on pediatrics. I received my BS in Psychology from Clarkson University in 2019 and try to implement learning strategies into each tutoring session. I have tutored a variety of ages throughout my academic career, and there is no better feeling than watching the "lightbulb" turn on in someone's head when working with them. As a younger tutor, I am able to connect well with students while helping them accomplish their academic goals. 

Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm a 5th grade Special Education Teacher. I've been teaching for 3 years now and I graduated from the University of Albany with my Masters Degree in Special Education and Literacy. I love to find the level that learners are working at and make sure their foundational knowledge of the material is understood first before we learn any new skills. I always tells my learners that even though it may seem difficult now, it's just because we don't know it YET, but as soon as you learn the steps it will become easier! Before I became a teacher, I worked with adults with disabilities at the ARC and I still love to volunteer with them. I also volunteer at local animal shelters  where I love to see all of the dogs and cats. I have two cats of my own, Sammy and Archer, and when they aren't sleeping, we play with a laser and fetch with their toys!
