   Jean Marie holds an M.A. in Mathematics Education from    
  Teachers College, Columbia University, and a B.S. in Electrical

  Tutoring, NY, in 2013.  

Thrive Tutoring is her brainchild. It grew organically from her work with her students. To learn how to support them best, she consulted with experts in different fields, recruiting specialists in nearly all academic areas, including psychology, counseling, writing, mindfulness, and nutrition.

​In the classroom and the community, Jean Marie saw that her students lacked basic study skills, organizational systems, time management capabilities, and coping skills to manage their stress. From middle school children who are a bundle of emotional turmoil to overwhelmed 9th graders transitioning to high school to upper-level students navigating the enormous pressure to perform at their peak and get into the colleges of their choice, the students across the years require more help and support. Add sports and social life, and most students are overwhelmed! Children desperately need tools to study less and more effectively, get a good night's sleep, and make informed choices to eat healthfully to support their learning. And when they need academic support, they need access to expert tutors who understand the content and help the whole child.

There are no formal courses in the curriculum to teach students these missing skills, and even if teachers know, most are strapped by a demanding curriculum, leaving little time to teach students how to thrive.

Thrive Tutoring offers professional online and in-person coaching in nearly every academic topic, from grade school reading comprehension to the highest levels of college mathematics, economics, and physics. Our coaches are known for their expertise, professionalism, passion, and compassion. We only refer academic coaches who reflect our philosophy of supporting the whole student. While most of our coaches are certified teachers, some possess other certifications or experience – such as accredited executive function coaches, college Teaching Assistants, and graduate students. Our writing coaches are professional writers, and our college counselor is a certified counselor.

Thrive Tutoring offers prep classes for the A.P. exams and the N.Y. State Regents Exams each year. In addition, we offer test preparation for the SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, and most standardized exams. Whether you work with an academic coach, an executive function coach, or a study skills specialist, your child will receive the personal attention they deserve while getting their questions answered! Thrive Tutoring's academic coaches are skilled in helping your student reach their highest potential.
