Core Service Tutoring

Our flagship service, Core Service Tutoring, is intended to meet the needs of students with a diagnosed learning learning disability, or more appropriately, learning difference, or ADHD.

In addition to subject area expertise and significant experience working with students who are similarly diagnosed, this service includes as-needed communication with a student’s entire support team, including teachers, guidance counselors, therapists, etc. We can attend IEP and 504 meetings and work with a student’s teachers to ensure that important concepts are understood, and assignments don’t “fall through the cracks.”

Biggest problem I had with my daughter was in math. After going to Qwerty, their tutoring greatly improved my daughter’s math grades.

My daughter had a great experience at QWERTY over several years. She was evaluated and initially, her written expression skills were the focus. She had a tendency to write very little, even though she could tell you a great deal about her subject. At QWER

Lucile Newman

We were very impressed with QWERTY’s services. Our 3rd grade daughter worked with Natalie for over a year, with great results in math, reading and writing. The sessions were always fun and engaging, and she looked forward to them as a highlight of her week.

Steve Maxwell

With the help of QWERTY, my daughter’s performance in AP Stats soared — both in class and on the AP exam. It was very empowering for a kid who never thought she was good at math.

Debra

Qwerty provided professional and reliable tutoring in a friendly atmosphere. Our son benefited from the expertise of a knowledgeable tutor for three years of high school. Consistent work with an excellent role model was very helpful. The interaction was extremely positive.”

Janice

Our daughter had very low self confidence about her math abilities before seeing Betty Willdorff at QWERTY. Since starting her tutoring sessions, my daughter’s math abilities have gone up noticeably, and doing homework is no longer such a chore. She actually looks forward to her homework sessions with Betty!

Bob

Michael was the right fit for tutoring my two high school children in math because he explained and taught the material well and interacted with them on a personal level. They enjoyed working with him and always looked forward to their sessions. I would definitely recommend QWERTY.

Steve M

We had a good experience with QWERTY. Our now 11 year old daughter needed help with her executive functions and the coach helped her get her backpack and thoughts and study methods organized. She feels much more responsible to finish her homework and the coach also helped with tutoring in various subjects including prepping for projects and tests. Thank you, QWERTY.
