Knowledge. Dedication. Skill. One-on-One Tutorials.These are the critical tools we focus on when helping a child at Tutorials for Excellence®.

We offer a safe, comfortable and nurturing environment for pre-school through college students administered by experienced teaching professionals. We offer personalized programs tailored to the individual needs of each student,  with special attention to those students with learning problems. We believe that students learn better and achieve better results in a private, personal and individualized tutorial. For this reason, we stress individual - one on one tutorials. Upon request, we can arrange small group tutorials. Our emphasis is on academic achievement in language skills, English and Spanish, math and science skills and content subjects through college level.

At Tutorials for Excellence® we are proud of our excellent staff of certified professional tutors. We are firmly committed to offering our students the best in service, facilities and instructional expertise. Our clients tell us that working with our knowledgeable and experienced staff results in measurable benefits to their students.

Our dedication to our students extends beyond the confines of our office. We advocate for our students by representing them at ARD meetings with teachers and we communicate with the teachers and schools on behalf of our students. We strive to create a cooperative relationship directed at achieving the best results for all our students.

When your child needs help, would you prefer a pre-designed "one-size-fits-all" learning package or a caring professional tutor? Visit or contact us today and see what sets us apart from all the rest!

WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT.....

We received this e-mail from one of our parents in April 2009:

"Hi, Carol.....Ever since you were [our daughter's] tutor, I feel that you have always been the underlying inspiration to [her]  You built up her confidence level and she strives to accomplish a goal whatever comes her way....I honestly feel she would not be where she is today without you!  You made such a difference in her life and I will always thank you for that."

From a letter received in 2005:

"I would like to take this opportunity to say what a blessing Carol Levin has been in our lives.  My daughter began seeing Carol back in 2001 due to a problem with short term memory.  With Carol's caring and guidance, my daughter has been able to maintain A's and B's throughout her school years.

Carol has helped my family in so many ways.  Not only does she help my caughter with her studies, but also she attends the ARD meeting with me at school. With Carol's assistance, we have been able to get my child the extra help that she needs.  If I had attended the ARD's alone I would have never known the right questions to ask or even what was available for my child.  For that I am extremely grateful to Carol.

Carol has become much more than a tutor for our child, she has also become a family friend.

NOTE: This student has since "graduated" from Tutorials for Excellence and has been continuing her studies successfully in public school.  This is an example of our philosophy: when students can get along without us makes us proud, even though we miss seeing them.

From a letter received in 2001 from another TFE "graduate":

I just wanted to send you a note on how grateful we are for the work you have done with [our son].  He has simply "blossomed" during this first half of his first grade class year.  As you remember, the school wanted to hold him back in kindergarten, even though he had a late birthday.  He is 7 years old and it would be setting him back trememdously to be placed in class with 5 year olds.  His self-esteem was definitely on the line.  In the beginning, he felt very sad because he could not read like the other children in his class and did not want to go to school.  He cried a few times about feeling "stupid".  I cannot tell you how glad we were for him and now, in just a short time, you have helped him to completely turn things aroud!

He looks forward to going to school and reading to the class.  His grades in all areas are ranging in the high A's.  This is from failing grades just 3 months prior!  Last week he came home with six 100's!

I'm glad that you were there when we really needed the support.  I'm glad that I stuck it out and did not follow the school's advice on placing him back into kindergarten.  His timetable was not their timetable, but with your guidance, he has become a very smart guy!

The smile on his face is priceless!

Thank you Carol for believing in [our son] as much as we do and for helping all of us through the first grade hurdle!

Please join us for another great year.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER FOR YOUR CHILD ?

WHY YOU SHOULD BRING YOUR CHILD FOR TUTORIALS IN THE SUMMER:

1. READING COMPREHENSION FOR TAKS

2. READING TO BUILD FLUENCY

3. SAT PREP FOR SEPTEMBER

4. BUILD MATH SKILLS

5. GET A JUMP START BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS

6. IMPROVING WRITING SKILLS

7. STUDY SKILLS AND STRATEGY SKILLS

8. PROCESSING

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR CHILD HAS NO TUTORING DURING THE SUMMER:

1. MAJOR PART OF LEARNING IS LOST IF THE BRAIN IS NOT USED 

2. MORE STRESS WHEN SCHOOL STARTS

3. READING DECLINES

4. MATH DECLINES

According to recent news, students in California are posting their college rejection letters on bulletin boards so that they can share the misery!  College admission boards are placing more weight on SAT scores than grades!  Even if your student is a couple of years away from the college decision, taking advantage of the benefit of summer tutoring will go a long way towards saving hiim or her from receiving one of those "It is with regret that we inform you...." letters!
