My Story

I Build Real Relationships. Not Just Lesson Plans.

I'm Maryann, and I started this practice because I believe every student deserves more than a generic lesson plan and a tutor who doesn't remember their name. Since 2008, I've worked one-on-one with over 150 students across New York City — kids who were falling behind, kids who were bored and unchallenged, kids with ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences that bigger tutoring companies didn't know how to handle.

My approach is built on relationship. Before I can help a student improve their algebra score or sharpen their essays, I need to understand how they think, what frustrates them, and what lights them up. That's why clients stay with me for years — the trust and continuity drives compounding results.

I hold a BA in Psychology with honors from New York University, an MFA in Writing from Sarah Lawrence College, and I am pursuing an MS in Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy at Prescott College.

Why Tutoring by Maryann

What Makes This Different From Every Other Option

01

One Expert, Fully Invested in Your Child

Unlike large tutoring companies with a revolving door of college students, you get a single dedicated expert who knows your child's learning habits, interests, and challenges intimately.

02

Deep NYC School System Knowledge

From NY State standards and Regents exams to the SHSAT and competitive high school entrance tests, Maryann knows exactly what NYC students need to succeed.

03

Learning Differences Welcome

Students with ADHD, anxiety, language processing disorders, or low confidence aren't edge cases here — they're exactly who this work is designed for.

Maryann is equally skilled teaching side-by-side in your home or live on Zoom, and can build a flexible plan that fits your family's schedule and needs.

How It Works

From First Call to Confident Learner

01

Book a Free Consultation

We start with a conversation — about your child's current struggles, goals, and learning style — so I can understand what kind of support will make the biggest difference.

02

Identify the Real Gaps

In early sessions I assess where your child is genuinely stuck, separating surface-level errors from the deeper conceptual gaps or habits that are holding them back.

03

Build a Personalized Plan

I design a curriculum and session structure specific to your child — not a template, but a real plan calibrated to their grade level, subject needs, and learning pace.

04

Work Together, Session by Session

We meet regularly — in person or online — working through problems and revisions in real time, so errors are caught and corrected the moment they happen.

05

Track Progress and Adapt

As your child improves, the plan evolves with them. I stay in communication with parents and adjust goals as skills sharpen and confidence grows.

FAQ

Common Questions, Honest Answers

I work with students in grades 2 through 12 across math (including Algebra and Geometry), English and ELA, writing, reading comprehension, executive functioning, and test prep. I also offer French, creative writing, and public speaking.

Both. I provide in-home tutoring and sessions at libraries or coffee shops for NYC families, and I'm equally effective over Zoom. We can figure out the right format — or mix of both — for your child.

This is a core part of my practice. I've tutored many students with ADHD, anxiety, and receptive and expressive language disorders. I adapt the pace, structure, and teaching approach to each student's specific needs.

I prep students for the ISEE, SSAT, and SHSAT (NYC high school entrance exams), NY State standardized tests and Regents exams, and the SAT and ACT. I also help students build strategies to manage test anxiety.

One-on-one tutoring and executive functioning coaching sessions are $175 per hour. Student workshops are typically around $50 per student. Parent coaching workshops are $70 per person for group sessions.

You get one experienced expert — not a rotating cast of college students — who builds a real relationship with your child over time. I know the NYC school system deeply and create a personalized plan, not a generic curriculum.

I offer parent coaching sessions and workshops to help you understand what strategies I'm teaching and how to support your child between sessions. Parents being informed makes a real difference in outcomes.

Yes. In addition to one-on-one sessions, I run small-group student workshops throughout the year, offer a virtual resource hub and YouTube channel, and provide parent coaching — building a fuller support system around each student.
