Hi Everybody,

My name is Marie, and I may be the ideal tutor for you!

I earned a Master's Degree from NYU and currently work as a psychotherapist/ Social Worker with people of all ages, including school-age children. One of my most recent positions involved providing therapy to students in an Elementary/ Middle School. As part of this position, I provided educational, emotional and behavioral support to students, many of whom have special needs.

Additionally, I have over 10 years of tutoring experience in multiple subjects. I tutor students in Math (pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and general Math), Language Arts (including English, reading, vocabulary and writing). and test prep (GED, GRE, SHSAT, SAT). I am also qualified to tutor students in college-level psychology or social work courses.

In general, I favor a "hands-on" approach to teaching that involves a lot of interaction between the tutor and student, and concrete experiences in addition to worksheets. However, my specific methods vary according to the subject being taught and the learning style of the student.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Elementary (K-6th)

I may be the ideal tutor for your elementary school child! I have a Master's degree in psychology with an emphasis on child development; I have taken multiple elementary education courses, and I have about 7 years of experience with school age children, much of which has been in an educational setting. In addition, this past school year, I have tutored several elementary school students, and significantly improved their grades and test scores. I prefer a hands-on approach to tutoring with this age group, although will occasionally use worksheets in addition to more engaging activities. I look forward to hearing from you, and possibly providing tutoring services to your children.

I am qualified to tutor for the ISEE, because I have 4.5 years of tutoring experience in test prep, and I am familiar with the test. I have also tutored a couple of students for the ISEE, and they did really well on the test.

Very patient

Mary is an excellent tutor. She is well prepared and has gotten to know my daughter's strengths and weaknesses very well. All her lessons are customized and helpful.

Kati, 116 lessons with Marie

Very responsible!

She is very calm, and serious about helping my daughter to improve her study. She assessed what my 12 years old need to study harder and gives us a list of what my daughter has to work for the next session. My daughter respects Marie a lot and her English is improving!

Akiko, 9 lessons with Marie

Excellent Tutor

Marie was very professional, and did a great job of tutoring my daughter for ISEE test. We decided to hire a tutor at the last minute (about a month before the test), and Marie quickly brought my daughter up to speed. Marie was knowledgeable and very patient with my daughter. I highly recommend Marie.

Very patient

Marie is a great tutor for my daughter. She is very patient always reachable by phone or e-mail, as well as very punctual. I would recommend Marie for any student struggling with course work in math, reading and writing.

Stephanie, 5 lessons with Marie

Great help!

She really helped my sister right before the Specialized High School Exam. She taught in a kind way that was easy to understand. Will absolutely use her again.

Very patient, punctual and professional!

My husband and I decided to homeschool our daughter and we knew we had to find a Math tutor. We are glad we discovered WyzAnt and found Marie. From day one, Marie was professional and punctual. From her first session with our daughter, we knew she was proficient in Math. Marie tutored our daughter for 8th and 9th grade Math and provided her with practice tests to prepare for the Regents. Our daughter not only passed the regents, but has gained confidence in her ability to do Math successfully on her own. She is now in 10th grade and Math is no longer a daunting task. Needless to say, we were very pleased with Marie and highly recommend her.

Patient and Enthusiastic Tutor

Marie has been tutoring my son for the past several weeks and I have seen great improvement in his overall academic performance. More importantly, my son looks forward to seeing Marie because she makes learning fun. I personally find Marie responsive to my emails and she never hesitates to take a few minutes after the session to speak with me about my son’s progress. I would highly recommend Marie to any parent looking for a tutor.

Good tutor

I would recommend Marie for any child that needs help. My son was failing his EAL test, and was going to get held back. With her help my son passed his EAL test. This year I signed up with her again. Marie is very good at teaching.

Excellent Tutor

My daughter is 16 and studying for her SATs. Marie assessed her skills and made an excellent study plan for their sessions. My daughter has improved significantly in her writing and grammar. She enjoys learning with Marie. Marie is patient, intelligent and insightful.

Responsive & Responsible Tutor

Marie’s tutoring sessions continue to positively impact the kids learning gaps. I am particularly pleased because each kids has their challenges on a similar area yet they each need to be tutored using a different strategy to keep them engaged and Marie found a way to get each of them to focused. The sessions are never dull. I am also very happy with Marie as she looks for ways to have the children focused on the areas they need assistance with by interacting with their teachers to ensure her work complements with the areas they truly need tutoring on. Marie is also reliable and flexible and as a parent of three kids this is key trait in a tutor.
