The Best Tutoring in Yonkers, NY

We follow New York State Learning Standards and the pacing used in Yonkers City School District. During your free consultation, we review current classes, recent assessments, homework samples, and Regents course maps when relevant. Your tutor then targets the exact skills your child needs to master the curriculum, not a generic workbook.

Why this matters in Yonkers: only about 37% of students in the district reach proficiency in math and English, so we focus on filling gaps while building confidence. When helpful, we can coordinate with classroom teachers and align to upcoming NYS and Regents units so tutoring supports the same vocabulary, problem types, and rubrics used in class.

Yes. We regularly align tutoring to IEP and 504 goals and use strategies that fit each student.

If language support is preferred, we will look for that when matching a tutor, if available.

We begin with a baseline check and clear goals. After every session, you receive a written update that explains what was covered, wins, and next steps. We also schedule regular check-ins to review progress and adjust the plan. We look for practical indicators like homework completion, quiz and unit test readiness, skill mastery by standard, and stronger study habits.
