    About Rebecca H.

    Hi-I have been working with students for almost a decade-both face to face and remotely. I believe that each student I work with has the potential to achieve greatness. If they are preparing for the ACTs/SATs, I make sure that my students know that these tests are important for college, but that the numbers should not define them and they should always remember that. I work with each student to understand his/her learning styles and then adapt my teaching style to fit his/her needs. I always see great progress with my students on the college prep tests (ACT and SAT), and it is always a pleasure to hear their results. I also really enjoy working with students helping them figure out where they want to spend their college years. I enjoy working with them on the common application and especially on their college essays. I graduated from Yale with a BA in English and from Columbia University with an MBA in Marketing/Finance and worked in the corporate world for over twenty years. I became an entrepreneur and have loved the life I have led-I have raised four (now grown) children, and have a dog (large labradoodle who likes to sail) and a husband. I truly enjoy working with students and love seeing their progress and the confidence that their progress gives them.

    We really enjoy Becky as a writing tutor for our 13 year old son! She gets kids and figures out what interests them and gets them to write about topics that they are passionate about! Highly recommend for kids!

    I can't say enough about the knowledge and support Rebecca provided for my daughter while preparing for college exams. Rebecca offered test insights and clues to breakdown difficult passages and tricky answers - boosting my daughter's scores significantly! Happy to share that my daughter is accepted by her first choice college. Rebecca is professional, tenacious, positive and a joy to work with. Wish I could give her 10 stars!
