About

If you would like your elementary school student to get support in Reading or Writing this year, I can help.

I hold an MFA from Columbia University, and have nineteen years of tutoring experience, nine of them at two very selective Manhattan agencies. My resume and references are available on request.

As a parent, mastery of reading is one of the most valuable gifts you can give to your child.

I work with emerging readers and writers to strengthen their skills and build confidence. I emphasize the link between reading, speaking, and writing.

I enjoy choosing books that will engage reluctant readers, and can teach anyone to write. I have a great deal of experience with LD students and ESL families.

I also offer gentle practice for the New York City Gifted and Talented test. Please note that I do not work with students who are not yet four years old.

My rate for this age group is $100 per hour. Packages of eight hours receive a 10% dicount.

Young children, who may not be able to do an entire hour, may split the session with a sibling or neighbor as long as the total session time is at least one hour.

I work primarily in Manhattan and some parts of Brooklyn. Trips to other boroughs and surrounding counties may require higher fees because of extended travel time. I meet with students in their homes, but have also used spare conference rooms at parents' offices.

"Alessandra created an excellent, tailored program for our son. Her assessments of his progress and where he needs work are detailed and thorough. We've seen him thrive in school and on his exams after honing sharp writing, reading, and critical-thinking skills that I firmly believe are a direct result of his work with Alessandra."
-- Reena J., Manhattan parent

"After the first session, my son said, "Mom, she isn't good: she's great!" -- Erin W., Brooklyn parent
