Steps Tutoring provides private tutoring and academic enrichment -- either in our office or in your home – to children in preschool and grades K to 12. We have seen that teaching children what they need to know, in our step-by-step sequential manner, causes children to love school, motivates them to do well, and, inevitably, causes them to achieve higher grades both now and when they are older.

Our programs were all created by our director, cognitive developmental psychologist Irene Daria, Ph.D. In addition to being an expert in how children's academic abilities develop, Dr. Daria is a reading specialist and the mother of two boys. She has walked in your shoes and understands the challenges families face entering, and excelling in, Manhattan schools, both public and private.

Your child’s time with us will begin with an assessment conducted by Dr. Daria that will identify your child’s areas of strength and weakness. Based on the results of the assessment, your child will then be taught the topics he or she needs to learn. 

Because all the lessons will be targeted to your child’s specific needs, your child will develop a solid understanding of the material that will help him or her do better in school and on tests.
