Parents often want to know: have you worked with students from my child’s school before?  Do you know the school/curriculum/teacher?  These are excellent questions.  Every school is unique, every teacher is unique, curriculum changes, assignments (hopefully) change.  Part of being a great tutor is having experience with different schools and knowing the difference between, say a Dalton and a Horace Mann.  Yet another part of being effective is the ability to quickly assess how one individual teacher is teaching a student, and how a tutor would or wouldn’t teach that student the same material.

To answer the first questions, I’ve worked with hundreds of students, and have a plethora of experience with a wide variety of schools, teachers and curriculums. This is the current list of schools from which I’ve worked with students:
