As a mature mother of two college graduates, I have many years of experience with children both in and out of the classroom. I am certified in NJ to teach K-5 all subjects as well as 5-8 Math and 5-8 Science. I am also able to tutor high school students in Algebra I, Algebra II and SAT/ACT prep. My test prep involves not only practice questions and sample tests but test-taking and time-management strategies. I am currently devoting all of my time to private tutoring, as I especially enjoy w...

Cheryl has been very patient and considerate with my son. She is mindful of his daily schedule, frustrations and tolerances while working with him. Her gentle personality has been a positive influence. She works very well with us setting up the lesson times, because sometimes it's challenging with our son's football schedule. We like that she is very dependable and knowledgeable.

I had my first lesson with Cheryl last week. I told her about my weak spots, particularly in math, and she helped me through step-by-step, starting with the basic blocks and then building up to more difficult word problems. Her method is effective; she breaks down topics and lets the student try to figure out the problem and out together the pieces to the final answer. Great tutor!

My son is making progress. He's confirmed that Cheryl's teaching strategies are helpful and he is now able to understand some of the work.

Cheryl did a wonderful job working with my son for the SAT. Cheryl helped my son with time management, reading passages, and writing. The results were better than I, or my son, had expected! Cheryl was flexible with scheduling and she listened to our needs and focused on our requests. Based on our results I can only highly recommend Cheryl for her tutoring services. Thank you again Cheryl, we will keep you informed of our college plans!

My daughter went from a c+ to a b+ and scored a b+ on her quarterly exam. This is an amazing improvement considering her test scores prior to hiring Cheryl were all below passing. We couldn't be happier with the results so far!!
John F. from Atlantic Highlands, NJ
Cheryl and I met and yes, it was a slow start. I was not 100% ready with my set up to effectively show Cheryl where I am in my class and what I actually need to focus on. Like any very good tutor, Cheryl worked with me and we got started. The session went well and I did learn some elements of Excel that I didn't know. I'm happy that I took the first step and asked for help, and I'm also happy that Cheryl took the time and patience to work with me. I need tutoring in this subject and all it's components and I feel good to have Cheryl with me. Looking forward to our next session.

Cheryl is actually tutoring my niece for the SATs coming up in May. Being an educator and tutor myself for more than 35 years now, I agreed to do the search for her tutor and foot the bill once we found one. I was thorough and careful in the search because my niece has made it clear that she thinks a tutor is unnecessary and a waste of time and money; not an uncommon attitude among many high school students, but her PSAT scores suggest otherwise. So I knew we needed someone calm, determined and experienced and CHERYL S. totally fits the bill. In fact, my niece is a varsity athlete and her schedule is often unpredictable as games run over time or are cancelled and then rescheduled for another day and time and CHERYL S. has been very flexible in accommodating. In fact, the only reason I have rated the lessons as Good rather than Excellent is my niece's lack of prep and commitment not CHERYL'S.

Cheryl was awesome with my daughter. I only gave her 4 weeks to work with her twice a week before the SAT. She worked the full hour every time and was able to pinpoint my daughters weak spots as well as her strengths. Given the short time frame she knew to put emphasis on test taking strategies as well as working on problems. I don't have my daughters results yet, but I do know that she walked in to the test less intimidated and feeling more confident because of Cheryl. I wish I had found her for my three older children- but its never too late to learn.
Nicole T. from Marlboro, NJ
Cheryl is very well organized. She is executing the strategy we initially agreed upon. She is successfully tailoring the sessions to meet my child's needs. I am very glad I found her. Excellent tutor.
Gene F. from Holmdel, NJ
Cheryl has helped my daughter so much with her math skills! We are very happy with her tutoring! Thanks Cheryl!
VIN P. from Marlboro, NJ
She is very patient and extremely professional. She is never on her phone or looking at texts, etc. She always has a lesson plan and ideas, and is never just winging it. She can balance being a good teacher, and also understands that kids can get frustrated or lose interest.
