The Best Tutoring in Montclair

We align our tutoring with New Jersey standards and the pacing your child is following in Montclair Public Schools and nearby districts. During your free consultation, we review recent report cards, teacher feedback, class portals, and upcoming units or tests. With your permission, we can communicate with teachers to stay in sync with classroom goals. Lessons target the same skills your child is expected to master in class, including unit quizzes, writing rubrics, lab skills, and state assessments. National data shows only 36 percent of fourth graders reach proficiency, which is why we focus on clear, step-by-step instruction and practice that match what is taught locally.

We tutor all ages, elementary through adult. Core subjects include math, reading and ELA, writing, science, social studies, and world languages. We also support executive function coaching through our X-Skills program, as well as test prep for SAT, ACT, AP Exams, and state assessments. You can choose in-home sessions anywhere in Montclair, Upper Montclair, Watchung Plaza, and neighborhoods near Wellmont Theatre, or online sessions that fit busy schedules. Online sessions are recorded so students can replay key explanations before quizzes and exams.

Yes. We work with students who have a wide range of learning differences and needs. With your guidance, we align tutoring with IEP or 504 goals and accommodations. Many tutors have experience with ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum, and test anxiety. We teach organization, planning, time management, and study routines through our X-Skills program, which helps students manage workload and reduce stress. Our owner, Jessica, leads a team known for a warm, holistic approach that supports the whole child, not just the coursework.

You will receive regular session reports that summarize what was covered, how your child is doing, and what is next. We track: Mastery of key skills tied to class standards; Homework completion and accuracy; Upcoming quizzes, tests, and projects; Confidence and study habits. We adjust the plan as needed and can add short check-ins before big assessments. Families tell us this transparency gives real peace of mind.

We begin with a quick skills check to find the root cause. Then we reteach the concept in clear steps, use visuals and real examples, and practice with problems that mirror class assignments and New Jersey standards. We cover: Elementary math foundations like number sense and word problems; Middle school pre algebra and algebra readiness; High school Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics. We also prepare for unit tests, midterms, and finals. One local parent shared, “after a few months their student gained confidence and moved up four grade levels in math, which led to placement in a college-level course.” Outcomes vary, but focused one-to-one support can make a big difference.

It depends. Results vary based on starting point, goals, session frequency, and practice commitment. Many families notice better homework completion and confidence within a few weeks. Visible skill growth and grade changes often appear across a marking period. For test prep, timelines are set by test dates and score goals you choose. We will set milestones so you know what to expect.
