I am a NYS dually certified teacher in Special Education and Elementary Education. I have been teaching adults and children for over 25 years. I worked as a Special Education Teacher in classrooms for nine years. The highlight of my classroom teaching career happened in 2000, when I was named Baltimore City Teacher of the Year.
In January of 2002, when I was pregnant with my first son, I began my own private tutoring company. I started with just me and was up to 27 hours of private tutoring per week when I decided that I needed to start hiring teachers to work with me. In March of 2004, I formed Reach for the Stars Tutoring, Inc. and today, we have over 50 NYS teachers working with us to provide services for students of all ages, in all subjects, in general and special education.
We’ve recently expanded our services beyond academics! Please see below.
