NYC / Hamptons | Certified Teacher | 25+ Years Experience I am a private educator and tutor with 25+ years of experience in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I provide consistent, hands-on tutoring, homeschool support, and enrichment, helping students strengthen core skills, close gaps, and build confidence. I also offer preparation for T&E, FLI, SSAT, and ISEE (Primary through Upper Levels). My students have gained admission to top NYC private schools and selective boarding schools nationwide. I have worked with families across the country and internationally. My approach is warm, structured, and highly personalized. I build strong relationships with my students while keeping sessions goal-oriented and engaging. My work extends beyond each session, with thoughtful planning and ongoing support to ensure steady, meaningful progress. I also specialize in writing support, including school and college essays.

Betsy is an experienced educator who I interviewed last fall for a full-time position as instructor for a "pod" of first graders whose families had opted for a home schooling situation. As her supervisor it was immediately clear that Betsy was and is a skillful, knowledgeable teacher. Her lessons are well organized, clear and, perhaps most importantly, interesting. Her students loved the challenges that Betsy brought to them and they have excelled in their work. Betsy taught the children all subjects but her work with reading and writing was instrumental in helping young, tentative beginners not only meet but exceed grade-level standards. Betsy identifies and addresses individual needs immediately thus preventing loss of confidence. It has been a strong year academically and, relying on the children's opinions, lots of fun.
