HB Academics
I am a private tutor and academic consultant with 10+ years of experience in the cutthroat academic climate of New York City’s elite public and private schools. I have a 98% client satisfaction rate and 96% of my students have gained admission to their top choice schools. Most importantly, every student has succeeded qualitatively rather than just quantitatively, gaining confidence, resourcefulness, and strength of character. My tutoring philosophy begins with the student's sense of self, which I endeavor to illuminate and enrich. Each student develops a holistic understanding of their strengths, learning how to apply their intellectual potential in a variety of environments, in the academic world and beyond. My goal is to help them realize that academics are a necessary element of personal growth and success, but not the ultimate arbiter of their cognitive potential. |

The Varsity Pen
The Varsity Pen is your full-service resource for all things writing. Unlike similar services, its expertise is not diluted by claims of specialization in several disciplines. Sessions are tailored to your child's unique learning style, challenges, timetable and goals. Whether your child aims to make lasting gains in writing skills or a specific project needs improvement, The Varsity Pen has you covered. My Master's degree in Nonfiction Writing (Columbia University) fuels my knowledge; my passion for children and teenagers ignites my drive to share it. I founded The Varsity Pen upon the belief that clear, compelling writing—and its accompanying critical thinking—are skills that anyone can master. If you haven't mastered such skills, you are not (as I've too often heard) 'a bad writer'—you simply haven't yet learned the fundamentals of writing. Take the example of a challenging board game: it's unlikely you'll win if you don't understand the rules. Likewise, it's impossible to write well if you don't have a solid grasp of writing's basic principles. Rather than just 'correcting' a tutoring client's writing, I focus on the foundation to locate gaps in knowledge. Through tutoring, I sharpen my clients' skills by drawing lessons from their writing samples. By doing mock assignments and assessing the client's thought process while writing, I locate and then prioritize specific deficits that can be resolved by a customized tutoring plan. These include an essay's structure, thesis, evidence, syntax, grammar and punctuation. Of equal importance, I pride myself on making lessons relevant to daily life--and even humorous! In addition to writing tutoring, The Varsity Pen specializes in assisting with all levels of admission essays and academic papers. Rates are reasonable, discount packages are available, and most importantly, I guarantee your child will have fun while learning! |

Wiz + Kid Tutoring stands out in that our unique teaching strategies stem from a deep understanding of what education and learning should entail.

We have found that when we build on the strengths of a student, their confidence and love of learning shines. |
