Educator and Therapist Specializing in Comprehensive Ed. Services

Mary M.

As an experienced educator and therapist with doctoral level training, I have a passion for helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds achieve their full potential. With a strong academic background and extensive experience in both teaching and therapy, I offer a unique skill set that enables me to provide comprehensive support to my clients.
With a focus on academic challenges such as motivation, focus, information retention, and procrastination, I have developed a unique expertise in helping students reach their full potential.

In addition to my work as a therapist, I have served as an instructor of Psychology at Hunter College, where I taught psychology and research methods undergraduate students. Prior to that, I worked as a literacy specialist at underserved middle schools in The Bronx for three years. During this time, I taught students in small groups and on an individual basis, helping them to bolster their reading skills, solidify their academic confidence, and establish grade-level reading competency.

With a particular strength in helping students with SAT and ACT preparation, as well as editing college admissions essays, I am a Princeton Review-trained tutor for the SAT and have years of experience helping students navigate admissions tests. I have also worked for an organization that specializes in utilizing storytelling to help students perfect their college admissions essays.

As a double English major in college, I have a strong interest in literature and have previously worked as a tutor for Literature and Philosophy classes. Additionally, I have a background in theater, which I use to make tutoring sessions engaging and dynamic.

My goal as a tutor is to help students develop a love for learning and to get excited about their subjects. With a strong track record of success, a passion for teaching, and a broad range of expertise, I am confident that I can help students achieve their academic goals and reach their full potential.
