THE BEST TUTOR HANDS DOWN

Omg, Joanie was such a pleasure to work with. She is an amazing tutor, very patient, knowledgeable, and personable ❤️ I feel more confident in my writing. I will look forward to future sessions!

Alexis, 4 lessons with Joanie
Tutor responded:

Alexis, thank you so much for your kind words! I look forward to our future sessions, too!

Very very knowledgeable tutor

My daugher has been enjoying her lessons while making good progress. She has lots of experience in tutoring and provides students with good examples. As long as students follow her direction and guidance, they would get to know that they already move up to the next level.

KI HOON, 11 lessons with Joanie
Tutor responded:

Thank you! I'm so glad your daughter enjoys the lessons, and I agree her progress is quite good! I'm excited to see her continue learning and growing!

Very thoughtful and patient tutor

Joanie has been instrumental in teaching my son how to write an essay. Before his sessions with Joanie, writing an essay was composed of three or four sentences. Now he is able to write cohesive paragraphs with proper grammar and punctuation. A huge thank you to Joanie!

I appreciate your kind comments and you’re most welcome!

Knowledgable and patient tutor.

Joanie has been working with my 8th-grade daughter as she is preparing to take the SHSAT to qualify for a seat at one of New York's specialized High Schools. Jone has been doing a fantastic job with my daughter by providing her tools to prepare her for the test. She is patient and knowledgeable in all areas of ELA and grammar. This is an area that the public schools fail our kids the most in. Joanie brings a wealth of knowledge on this subject from her experience as a teacher. My daughter has learned a lot and is enjoying the learning experience. Joanie incorporated fun tactics and resources to help with knowledge retention. I am very impressed with her tutoring and highly recommend her!

Thank you for your kind words! It has been a joy to work with your daughter, and I am grateful for the opportunity to help her grow and learn. I look forward to continuing to support her on her educational journey.

My son is very happy with his lessons

As the subject says my son is happy with his lessons and is progressing with his SHSAT prep nicely. Thank you very much for your help with his studies!

Thanks Joanie for going above and beyond for my son. When searching for a tutor I wanted to find someone who was passionate about helping kids. Joanie even helping my son LEARN HOW TO TYPE!

Ashley, 40 lessons with Joanie
Tutor responded:

Thank you for taking the time to post your lovely, much-appreciated comments! Learning to type (or use a keyboard) has many benefits. It helps students to become proficient in basic computer skills, to understand how reading, spelling, grammar, and writing all work together, and to complete their schoolwork more efficiently. Thank you.

I have a fear of someone judging my son. I was worried about finding a tutor because I don’t want to be judged. I appreciate Joanie for taking the time out her day to assist my son with his needs. She was understanding, patient, and ready to help my son learn
