I have a life-long love of literature, reading and creative writing. Also, I believe one of my outstanding qualities is to instill this love of learning and literacy to my students, while they enjoy they excel with their ELA skills. In addition, I have tutored ELA for over 6 years from K-12 in a one-on-one and group setting, as well as adult and ESL learners.. Moreover, I am comfortable tutoring other primary subjects from K-8. Furthermore, I have a BA in English/Creative Writing from Columbi...

Afterwards, she will advise me on grammar, word choice, and sentence structure. She has made my writing more reader-friendly and smooth. I highly recommend Lorraine as your tutor.

Tara A. from Staten Island, NY
Lorraine has been working with my child on a weekly basis. My child is struggling with reading and language basics. Although we have just started our sessions and there is still a lot of work down the road for us. I am very satisfied with the services she is providing for my child.
Michelle C. from Staten Island, NY
Lorraine has been working with my daughter for over a month and has greatly improved my daughter's reading skills. Lorraine is well versed in all reading techniques, and I would highly recommend her!
Rita P. from Staten Island, NY
Very happy with Lorraine’s expertise and quality of work. During the first lesson, she correctly identified my child's weak points and created a customized improvement plan for him to follow. After 4-5 lessons, the child showed a full understanding of the proposed “template†and proved it by receiving the full credit on the ELA benchmark test. We will continue with the sessions to reinforce the acquired knowledge. I highly recommend Lorraine to those preparing for the ELA test or anyone who’s simply looking for improvement.
Mark L. from Staten Island, NY
Ms. Lorraine focused in quickly on what my kid had to work on and is patient with him from week to week (believe me, he needs a lot of patience). She has materials and homework well organized and, importantly, challenges him every lesson. It's been 3 weeks but thanks to Ms. Lorraine, I'm sure the "Writing Summer Camp" I set up for my kid will pay dividends.
Susan P. from Staten Island, NY
Lorraine has been working with my five-year-old son for the past two months, and already my husband and I have noticed a marked improvement in his vocabulary and pronunciation. Moreover, he is able to articulate his thoughts much more clearly and expressively. Lorraine's always a pleasure to deal with, and I would highly recommend her to any parent seeking a tutor who is excellent with children.
Jenny W. from Staten Island, NY
Lorraine is always on time and ready. She comes with a lesson plan and ready to work with my son. In these 3 weeks, my son has gained more confidence in writing and he remember her advice when completing the homework that Lorraine provides. I'm really happy about these results and looking for our future lessons. My son is reaching his writing potential and comprehension faster, thanks to Ms. Lorraine as an ally in this process.
Betty M. from Staten Island, NY
My son's first session with Lorraine was very productive. She came prepared with the necessary materials for his reading and writing assignment. I would highly recommend her.

Tina K. from Staten Island, NY
Ms. Lorraine is a very patient person. She really helps our son to improve his writing skills and doing homework in the right way. Thanks to her for all her efforts.
Danielle J. from Staten Island, NY
Lorraine has been working with my 8-year-old son only a short while. She is very patient and thinks out of the box. She comes up with ways to help my son complete tasks with positive and innovative reinforcement. Lorraine reinforced work with rewards during his session which brings focus back to task at hand in a timely manner. My son draws really well, and she has taken that task and has made Nathaniel enjoy writing comics into his session. He has written a story in his DS by himself. This may seem minute, however, my son would get so worked up about it prior to meeting Loraine. The end result was everyone was stressed and it would take forever. I look forward to continuing working with her to increase his reading and writing skills.
Julia S. from Staten Island, NY
I had a great experience with Lorraine. She checked my papers very fast. She is professional and knowledgeable. I recommend her very highly.
Yulia F. from Staten Island, NY
My son is 12 years old and due to his ADHD has a hard time focusing on long passages and convoluted questions. Lorraine is very patient with him and keeps him plowing through many advanced texts and multiple choice questions. I already see an improvement though we only had like 6 lessons. It is a process and I do not expect any miracles, but I am sure with consistent work my son's ELA grades and performance will improve.
Rayna S. from Seekonk, MA
I worked with Lorraine on my personal statement for Dental School. Lorraine really helped me to craft a great statement and gave me great feedback and was very patient throughout our session. She is very knowledgeable of how to creatively write a rewarding end product and I would recommend her to anyone!
Joanna M. from Brooklyn, NY
I am extremely happy with Lorraine’s expertise and quality of work. In addition, she is always on time and is fully prepared with various materials. During the first lesson, she correctly identified both of my children's weak points and created a customized improvement plan for them to follow. After 4-5 lessons, both children have shown some improvement. We will continue with the sessions to reinforce the acquired knowledge. I highly recommend Lorraine to those preparing for the ELA and SHSAT test or anyone who’s simply looking for improvement.

Ms. Lorraine is my four years old son private tutor, my son likes her and is very interested to learn from her.
Carrie P. from Staten Island, NY
Lorraine was on time and prepared. My daughter loves her already and this was just the first time! She mixes it up and has "little fun while learning breaks". She pinpointed right away what my daughter's weaknesses were. Look forward to having her as my daughter's tutor.
KYLE K. from Hoboken, NJ
Very sweet and patient lady. Has taken my criticism and helped me where I needed the most improvement. Very happy to have her as my tutor
Agnes W. from Staten Island, NY
Ms. Lorraine is a very patient and dedicated tutor. She helps my 6 year old son who is behind with his reading. I like that she carefully chooses the material that she works on with my son according to his specific needs. She also allows my son to use her iPad for the last few minutes of the tutoring session which is a great motivator for my son to stay focused throughout the session.
