I am very happy with our experience so far with 51Թ. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Sam

Certified Tutor

I received my B.A. from Columbia University in English. I have tutored students in both Math and English. I have also taught classes in Creative Writing, as well as classes in Improvisational Comedy and Public Speaking. I tutor students in English, Creative Writing, Literature, History and Public Speaking. My favorite subject to tutor is Creative Writing, as it has been a passion of mine throughout my entire life. My approach to tutoring is to do it with all the seriousness and focus it requires, while always being sure to lighten it a bit with a sense of humor (I got my start as a comedy writer while at Columbia). I have varied interests outside of tutoring, all of which tend to run toward the artistic. I am an avid film-goer and a regular attendee of the theater. I also like to attend visual art shows. In my free time I continue to study Creative Writing while also working freelance as a story analyst for several movie studios.
