Nora

I was born and raised in Greenwich Village and attended both public and private schools here in NYC. I graduated from Millennium High School down in the Financial District and that positive experience inspired me to want to give students the same type of experience. After high school, I went to American University in DC where I studied American Studies and Secondary Education and then I did my Masters at NYU Steinhardt in Social Studies Education. While I was in high school, my peers would give me their papers to edit (I'm a huge grammar nerd) and I'd end up coming home with stacks and stacks of papers! I've taught Humanities, Social Studies, and English and have tutored Math, Test Prep, and Organizational Strategies. I have been working in the child care industry for the last three years as a babysitter, tutor, and camp counselor. In my free time, I like to read (my 95 year old Nana and I are working our way through the classics. We just read War and Peace and have moved on to The Brothers Karamazov), write, go to the beach (in the summer), and watch sports - I'm a HUGE Yankees fan. My favorite place besides NYC would have to be Fire Island because its relaxing atmosphere is a nice break from the rush of the city. My favorite movie is A League of Their Own - I just can't flip past it whenever it's on! I hope to go back to school again to study American Studies, Law, or Curriculum Design as I am passionate about finding creative ways to individualize curriculum for each student. I look forward to working with Central Park Tutors and can't wait to start working with you and your child!
