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.

Besides my dog, my greatest passion is teaching children! I completed my Master's Degree in Childhood Education from SUNY Plattsburgh in 2014, and spent the past four years as a classroom teacher. I believe that all children are different and unique in their own way, and that has to be recognized, in order to help them fully succeed as students. When I'm not working with students, you can find me curled up with a good book, or outside enjoying a long run. 

Non-fiction book nerd and mother of five, Ashley brings her love for reading, children, and reading with children to every tutoring session. Her energy is contagious. She also brings her BA in Early Childhood/Special Education, her certification in Elementary/Special Education, along with her experience with children with learning disabilities and profound special needs. Author of, "Crystal Puzzle: Growing up with a Sister with Asperger's," it's not uncommon for her to write stories herself that help her students succeed. A special needs Mom herself, she also loves to help each parent find hope in the smallest steps in their child's progress. Whether the student needs help with reading, writing, spelling, math, or learning confidence, Ashley aims to make learning fun and progress attainable. Ashley also writes the Nourishing Minds Tutoring newsletter. You can find some of her stories at TheDiversityWriter.com

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.
