Parent Testimonials
"Maya is the best tutor we have ever met. We feel lucky and grateful for her help with our son who is in high school at the Heschel School. Maya is incredibly bright, patient and sensitive. She immediately identified what our son needed and helped him become a confident, motivated, and independent student, while focusing on his executive functioning and writing skills. She skillfully and patiently helped our son develop critical and problem solving skills. With Maya’s help, our son was no longer overwhelmed by his school work or by his feeling that he was lacking the ability to be successful. THANK YOU MAYA!!!"

"Maya is a fantastic math tutor. Our son started working with Maya last year when he fell behind on a particularly difficult math section. Maya helped him to catch up quickly and regain his confidence. He finished the year strong with consistent scores in the 90-100 percentile. This year he is consistently achieving excellent scores. Maya breaks down the concepts in a clear and concise way. Maya is very patient but also very determined that our son fully understands the concepts. Our son is always so excited to share with Maya when he does well on an assignment or exam and is always rewarded with Maya’s typical excitement and joy."

"Maya was extremely helpful with my son, who had ADHD and executive functioning learning issues. She stayed on top of his assignments and helped him come up with strategies that would help him be successful in being organized that he still uses to this day, in college. She has a soft but firm approach, and this combination allowed her to really get close to my son and gain his trust so she could work quite effectively with him. I highly recommend her."

"Maya has been working with our son for the duration of the past academic year. As a parent, I deeply appreciate her strength-based approach - always leading with the skills that my son already possesses and helping him to use these strengths to become the most successful student he can be. She really sees my son and truly understands him as a child and a learner. As a result, she tailors the way she teaches him to fit the specific way in which he learns best. Executive functioning is an area my son is working to develop, and Maya is extremely helpful in guiding him through this process. Maya is patient and extremely skilled - offering strategies and suggestions to help my son feel successful inside and outside of the classroom. Maya is extremely easy to communicate with. She is clear in her suggestions (which are practical and easy to implement) and kind in her demeanor – a recipe for incredible partnership. Lastly, and most importantly, my son adores her! We have seen such growth in his social-emotional and academic development over a short amount of time. We look forward to our work together in the future!"

"Maya has worked with my daughter for two years in math and science. Maya is a pleasure to work with and has truly helped my daughter! My daughter's grades have increased from mid-70's when she first started working with Maya, to low-90's now. Last year she supported my daughter with Honors Biology and Honors Geometry and this year in Chemistry."

Student Testimonials
"Maya was the best tutor I’ve ever had. She helped me improve my writing and organizational skills. When we first started working I had a very hard time managing my work and structuring my writing assignments. I am now much better at managing my workload. Maya helped me improve as a student to the point where I feel confident transitioning from high school to college. Maya was always invested in my well being and truly cared for my success. She pushed me to work harder even when there was an overwhelming amount of work and stress. Maya has always inspired me to be creative which allowed me to become a better student than I thought possible."

"I began working with Maya for help with organization, college applications and AP Calculus at the start of COVID and continued for about a year and a half until my high school graduation. When we began meeting, my schedule was cluttered with 14 appointments a week on top of my school work. Maya helped me manage balancing my school work with my extracurriculars. Although we only met online for the time we worked together, that did not stop Maya from building a relationship with me that extended beyond the confines of academic assistance. Maya is an incredible tutor and person. Never have I had a tutor so involved, caring, and dedicated to providing help wherever and whenever help is needed. She is very easy to talk to and genuinely loves helping anyway she can. The support Maya gave me was unlike anything I've ever experienced from anyone. Maya is a great tutor, yet her desire and passion for helping people had a significant impact on my life."

"Maya was really helpful for me in math, reading comprehension and writing. If I didn't understand a problem, she would write it on her whiteboard and write it out step by step. I do like to rush in general but Maya helped me find a pace while I was doing work. After we finished working on what I needed help with for school, she helped me go beyond in different subjects. I really appreciate it. Thanks Maya!"
