Teaching each learner in the way they learn best.
I am a Bank Street College of Education graduate with 10 years of elementary school head-teaching experience. I have also assisted, subbed, taught library in a preschool, tutored, taught after school classes, run a mini-camp for toddlers, been the story time person for 7 years at a family restaurant and play space and taken care of children since I was a young teen.
My philosophy of teaching is that each learner is unique and deserves to be instructed using all of the methods that reach that...

Emily the Great!
Emily has been working one-in-one each each week with my energetic 6 year old daughter over the last few months in an effort to help improve her reading skills. She has been wonderful in every way. She is patient and always finds creative ways to get my daughter to focus and enjoy the learning process. It's been great seeing both the advancements by my daughter and their relationship blossom.

Assessment Could Have Been More Entailed
Pros: Emily came off as patient and my son warmed up to her after a few minutes. She did interact with him in a thoughtful and friendly manner. He was comfortable enough to read for her so she was able to assess his reading level. Con: I thought the assessment would have been more entailed especially because I was paying for the session and having him only read was not sufficient; and if that's all it encompassed then I could have tutored him myself. I am looking for a tutor who can do more than I can. Bottom line is, I was not impressed. Also, she was late for our meeting. I did not receive a call or text message (we had exchanged numbers) informing me that she was running late. I had to call and when we spoke she sounded as if she had not intended to come but decided to come because we were at the location and we were waiting.

Very patient
Very patient with my son who has a learning disability and attention issues. Emily has a positive reward system. We have been working with Emily for a couple years now.

Passionate, personable tutor.
My first-grader is very fond of Emily. She has been great with him and has helped with his reading fluency, bringing library books and using other methods to patiently coach him to sound out the difficult words. She also has a fun way of explaining the concepts to solidify them in his mind. In addition, she is dependable and flexible and provides detailed assessments of his progress. I highly recommend her.
