...you knew exactly
how your child learns?
It could change the course of their future.
Language arts tutoring during the middle school years is pivotal. Not only are students open to new concepts, they are playful and creative and still willing to explore learning.

My main focus is to build language arts confidence in each of my students by understanding how they learn, and then using this knowledge to reiterate how very special and unique they are as individuals.
Together, we build new
methods and practices
for successful writing.

Thoughts From Parents of Newly Confident Writers
Cynthia has been tutoring my son for over a year. He is an avid reader but a reluctant writer. Cynthia is able to motivate him to write by incorporating creative projects and interesting curriculum. She also shows him ways to approach and complete school assignments. He has learned a lot and gained confidence in the process. My son is a Gold Key recipient of the 2018 Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards, and he attributes much of this accomplishment to Cynthia. Cynthia is passionate and caring. We highly recommend her.

We are so lucky to have Cynthia. She is a great tutor, very patient, and able to figure out what my son needs to improve his writing. She exceeds our expectations. In our first meeting, my son was smiling and engaged in the conversation. Whenever he worked with Cynthia I could see that my son’s face was relaxed and confident. She is also a very caring person. I have never seen the level of attention she has shown toward my son from any other tutor. Her positive reinforcement and encouragement is incomparable…She always cheers him up so that he can improve his writing skills. I would highly recommend Cynthia as a writing tutor.
