At Themba Tutors, we work with the widest range of learners, from young children to college students, including those with learning differences. To us, this makes having the best team of academic tutors, learning specialists, and executive function coaches who can identify, target, and address all of our students’ specific needs all the more important. But it doesn’t stop there. As one of the cornerstones of Themba Tutors, our team of professionals are not only experts in providing academic guidance but also in building relationships and delivering comprehensive support services.

That is why we go out of our way to ensure that we only work with professionals who understand and share Themba Tutors’ vision and goals.

Themba Tutors first launched its coaching and tutoring services in the summer of 2012, headed by our CEO Craig Selinger, a licensed language therapist and learning specialist, with Dr. Grossberg. Aimed at supporting learners of all ages and skill levels within the comfort of their homes, schools, or online, Themba Tutors is focused on building a multidisciplinary education staff grounded in contemporary scientific research, technologies, and strategies. Each of our tutors is highly skilled at uncovering and addressing core learning and attentional difficulties. Our goal isn’t just to help with this year’s academic material but to refine core skills applicable to future learning.
We believe that a student’s learning gains ought to last a lifetime. As a result, our students have gone on to attend (and thrive in) a variety of public and private elementary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities, including Ivy League institutions.
Over the years, Themba has grown to more than 60 staff–referred to us by colleagues we trust–composed of learning specialists, academic tutors, and executive function coaches with masters-level or doctorate degrees related to helping children and adults with or without learning differences. All staff have experience teaching and tutoring in public and private educational settings, and many have expertise in executive function coaching.
Many of our specialists are scholars who have written and lectured extensively about learning differences and education. Clients benefit from working with our qualified specialists, who are specially trained to assess and focus on content, skills, and/or particular learning differences. Our specialists also offer adult coaching services to working professionals looking for organizational assistance, reading, and/or writing support.
We also work with a host of professionals in the NYC metro area, including therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Cultivating a vast network of highly skilled professionals enables us to direct students and families to the right specialists whenever necessary.
Together, we will get you on the Themba path. Our dedicated team will move your family in the right direction. It’s a path you can trust. Having our services is a necessity in today’s uncertainty.

Our professionals monitor, adjust goals, and adapt techniques as needed to help our clients achieve short- and long-term success. We believe in collaboration, and working with your family, your child’s school, and other professionals on the student’s team is a key aspect of our learning strategy.
We understand school culture and curricula and do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We begin by developing a unique learning profile for each child, which we use as the basis for teaching skills needed to maximize their potential. Our tutors not only focus on helping students have mastery of subject materials but also on developing core skills and fostering positive study habits. An example of this is keeping students engaged and invested in their learning. Because we work with plenty of teens, we make sure to incorporate tips and strategies to maintain and improve their motivation, such as:
While classroom education remains indispensable, we believe one-on-one tutoring is just as crucial in a student’s academic success and we:
