ONLINE TUTORING

You’ll require a computer with a high-speed internet connection, and, if not built into your computer, a webcam and headset.

Online tutoring is most appropriate for school-age children and adults who demonstrate the ability to focus for the duration of the session and do not require “hands-on” help. The client will also have to demonstrate progress to support continuation of online tutoring services. We screen all clients before tutoring, ensuring that the client is the appropriate candidate for online tutoring services.

We offer one-on-one skills-based learning support and tutoring for all core school subjects for students in pre-K through college. We also offer help for state tests in language arts, math, social studies, and science for grades 3 through high school. We also offer preparation for the SHSAT for admission into specialized public high schools, the ISEE/SSAT for admission into private boarding and day schools, academic tests in all subject areas, Regents, the PSAT, the SAT, the PLAN, the ACT, and the GRE. We also provide assistance with college essays.

Sessions are arranged at a convenient time during the day, evening, or weekend. Sessions are scheduled in advance (we need at least 24-48 hours’ notice). The client simply logs onto SKYPE, FaceTime, Google+ Hangout, or iChat at the predetermined time. The sessions are 60 minutes long.

The benefits are access to high-quality tutoring services from high-caliber New York City learning specialists from the convenience of your computer.

You will need the following:

• Computer processor of 1 GHz minimum, 2 GHz preferred. Broadband internet with minimum of 256 kbps upload (DSL or cable); 512 kbps preferred.

Through weekly home or school sessions in the New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan,  Staten Island, Long Island (Nassau County) areas, our tutors, coaches, and learning specialists work tirelessly to firm up foundational knowledge in math, reading, writing, executive functioning and tackle any areas with which your child is struggling.  Themba Tutors LLC also offers online tutoring options. We work with students being homeschooled and teach students in public and private elementary, middle, high school, and in college without learning difficulties, and we specialize in helping students of all ages, including adults and professionals, who are struggling with reading, writing, math, foreign language, focusing, organizing, and studying.  We are experts in ADHD/ADD, executive functioning, language processing, reading, e.g. dyslexia, writing, e.g. dysgraphia, and math disorders e.g. dyscalculia, autism spectrum disorders, non-verbal learning disorder, and other learning differences. We coach students to learn how to organize, plan, prioritize, focus, avoid distraction, and keep track of materials and tasks. Goals include improving memory and information retention, spending more focused time on tasks and completing them, decreasing procrastination, organizing schoolwork, managing time more effectively, and learning to think carefully before acting. Specialists model and support the application of these skills in the appropriate context. They put the student in the driver’s seat to best generalize these skills without holding the steering wheel. Our goal is to help students and professionals feel more confident and become more effective learners and workers overall. Our ultimate aim is to get the student to maximize his or her learning potential from a collaborative approach: working with you, teachers, and with other professionals.
