Academic Online Tutoring for Children in New York City
Providing private tutoring for children in kindergarten through 6th grade. Sessions held virtually on Zoom.
Working with experienced education specialists, we offer virtual academic targeted instruction (online tutoring and coaching) that provides care-given, student centered support with a focus on nurturing individual growth.
After initially gathering information from the parent, teacher, and student, our educators develop personalized, one-on-one learning plans to meet the student exactly where he/she is in the learning process. Each student has specific learning needs and is unique and talented in his or her own way, and we believe it’s critical to build rapport by listening, connecting and encouraging at the beginning of each session.
We know that a student achieves the most success when we work in tandem with his/her school curriculum, while learning new skills which build over time. Our teachers work across all subjects and grade levels in the elementary division – kindergarten through 6th grade. You will get to know your virtual academic tutor well, and he or she will provide an excellent online tutoring environment for your son or daughter.
Examples of academic tutoring services can include a combination of the following targeted areas:
- Writing: includes handwriting, spelling, composition, creative writing, and research
