My all-​subject test prep programs are unique in the tutoring world. I credit a college job and varied interests with the development of a Reading, Writing, Math and Science tutoring repertoire.

In college, I first pursued a major in math/​science; however, I missed the humanities and made the switch to history. I also took a job teaching/​tutoring SAT CR and M for the Princeton Review.

After earning an education degree and a teaching certification, I pursued a 10 year career teaching reading, interpretation and writing in social studies classes, including AP US History. I continued to tutor math on the side. Here in Ridgewood, I’ve worked as a teacher’s aide in Chemistry, Geometry and Alg 2 classes.

My husband and I moved to Ridgewood (my hometown) with our two children and I started The Ridgewood Tutor in 2012. I took official SATs at local high schools and earned an 800 in CR, a 790 in Math, and an 800 in Writing over the two times I took the test in 2015.
