About Jillian V.
Close
Ever since I was a child, I absolutely loved to write. During my sessions as creative writing tutor, I hope to foster that same love for writing. My students are challenged to stay true to their own voice while simultaneously considering craft, style, syntax, structure, and the myriad elements of engaging, successful writing. My sessions can be catered to a specific goal (standardized testing), or can be an open-ended experience invaluable to academic success.
About Jillian
I have a Master's degree in Music Therapy, am a nationally board certified music therapist (MT-BC); performer and vocal instructor (Bachelor's in Classical Voice); certified yoga instructor and meditation guide (200+); certified and attuned Reiki master; professional freelance writer and editor.
...I find joy in a lot of places! And often I find these areas of study inform and augment each other.
Music therapy has afforded me a great deal of experience working with children, teens, and adults with special needs including, autism, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, emotional disturbances and developmental delays as well as teens and adults with psychosocial issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, personality disorders, and more.
I incorporate my experience as a therapist into the educative setting.
As a voice teacher, I want to help my students settle comfortably into their own musicality by showing them the building blocks of a solid technique, drawing particularly from the things that helped me grow as a vocalist. I want my students to feel strong in their body, comfortable and relaxed in their breath, and confident in their performance.
I am a professional vocalist in NYC. I perform liturgical and classical music, as well as musical theater repertoire. I participate in professional operas, choral groups and other concert series. Performing gives me a sense of bliss and completeness that is indescribable.
As a certified yoga instructor, I teach in many locations throughout Westchester. I was trained at Yoga Haven in Scarsdale, New York with Betsy Kase, and earned a 200-hour certificate in Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation. I offer private yoga instruction and meditation at my home studio. My studio comes fully equipped with all yoga props, aromatherapy, and music. Hands-on-assists and personalized classes offered to deepen your experience.
It is a joy to offer Reiki to curious, open clients in need of energy healing. Reiki is a noninvasive energy healing technique totally separate of any religious affiliation and available to anyone. It is a difficult to describe the relaxing, soothing, and deep-healing effects of Reiki to someone who has never experienced.
Please feel free to inquire about any of my services!
*Note: If you don't see a time slot that is suitable to your needs but would like to try a session or lesson with me, feel free to register for the Flex Plan, and we will work out week-to-week times!!**
**Note: If you are interested in music therapy, please email me with a bit about yourself and your personal goals.

Repetition, repetition, repetition. The more you write, the better you get at it.
I give my kids example prompts- we review them. For homework, I have them do a writing on their own and we make corrections together.

Tamar knows when to slow down if her student is tired, but is also demanding so as to be sure that progress are made.
It was a pleasure seeing how fast my daughter improved her English and we both appreciated meeting Tamar, who is a great person :)

Tamar is a gem!
I have been working with her for the past year and she has helped me completely transform my academic situation.
I am a freshman in high school who struggles with ADHD. Tamar's patience and diligence is completely unsurpassed. She goes above and beyond to ensure that I am not only doing my work, but she breaks down the material for me in such a way that it is easy to understand. Tamar puts in hours of her own time to create tests and study guides which has helped give me the extra advantage i need. I recommend her to anyone. She is by far one of the best tutors and individuals ever.

About Leo K.

My approach to teaching writing begins with learning where the student is currently at ability wise, then taking the time to build a custom lesson plan that will cater to strengthening current weaknesses while not being boring or generic.
About Leo
Hello! I'm Leo, and I will be your prospective tutor for today. I am a New School alum in the literary studies program, with a specialization in fiction writing. Most of my teaching experience stems from a martial arts background (specifically taekwondo, Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu jitsu) , where I taught students ranging from 4-60 years old. I also have experience teaching people how to type, how to improve their reading and writing skills, stage presence, public speaking, self defense, and physical health. I look forward to meeting all of you while helping with whatever you need help with.

About Ginamarie D.
Close
I am certified in both NJ and Florida for English. Additionally, I am certified Highly Qualified in both English and Writing, so I have proven testing results for my students. I explain, model and then slowly release responsibility to my students to ensure they are capable and confident in their Reading and Writing abilities. Technology is a must in today's workforce and educational setting, so I encourage students to use the resources available to them whenever they can. I am also available for editing prior to submission of assignments and enjoy hands-on projects.
About Ginamarie
I have multiple years experience in Middle, High School and Adult education. I enjoy reading and writing which makes me a perfect fit for homework help and a personal tutor. I have worked with struggling students, adults with disabilities and taught HS Advanced Placement, IB English, and most recently AICE classes. Tutoring for SAT is enjoyable for me, and my success rate with students in high-need areas sets me apart from your average tutor. I have incorporated time choices, around sports practices, and even made weekend hours available. I would prefer to meet at local libraries, close to bus routes, and would even consider in-home tutoring for accepted families. Finally, on-line tutoring and editing makes it convenient for parents and students who struggle with transportation or medical obstacles.

About Nick P.
Close
Having to sit down and write a paper (whether it be your college thesis or a five paragraph essay for an elementary level English course) can be an intimidating and stressful if not overwhelming experience.
That's where I come in...To help you with both the assignment you are currently working on as well your writing process in general. Working on strengthening how you write will make writing easier and easier each time you do it, until you don't need my help at all.
Many people are not aware of the universal strategies and tactics that can be used in order to improve their writing at every stage in the process. Whether it be brainstorming, outlining, drafting, writing, editing, etc. Taking at look at and examining your writing process together will allow us to customize the tutoring session for your needs specifically.
Outside of helping to write papers I can assist with help in English grammar, Literature, Creative Writing, and many other related fields.
About Nick
My name is Nick and I have been tutoring in writing since I was in high school. I love to work with students from grade school to grad school and help to make lasting adjustments that will improve your writing over the long term.
I became a Writing Consultant at St. John's University throughout college where I worked with hundreds of students at every stage in the writing process from coming up with a topic to write about, all the way down to making sure references have been correctly annotated. I can help you with any stage of the writing process that is giving you trouble and ensure that you are more equipped with strategies to help avoid any of these trouble going forward.

About Nora S.
Close
Writing is one of today's most in-demand skills-- whether in work, school, or simply in effective communication. As a passionate writer and a writing tutor with over 8 years of experience, I focus on helping everyone uncover their unique voice and discover the writer they have within them!
Whether you're working on a creative piece, a College application, an essay, or a scientific paper, I've seen it all before and I love it all equally. I always focus on the big picture, equipping writers with tricks and tips they can implement in future writing as well as focusing on the page in front of us. Shoot me a note to see if we're a good match!
About Nora
Whenever there is a creative moment of writer's block, a college application to be written, a school essay to be edited, I am always the go-to for everyone in my circle.
It's not just because I have years of experience writing and editing-- it's because my friends and colleagues know the genuine pleasure I get from helping others write and edit their words to perfectly capture what they want to express.
Writing should be fun. We speak to express ourselves, for the most part without self-judgement of self-editing. We argue with one another, crack jokes, express emotions, explain. Why should the written word be any less dynamic, any less fun??
I love all writing equally: creative, poetry, scientific articles, applications, school essays, journalism. And I love it at all stages: Ideation, outlining, writing, editing, polishing.
