Excel Tutoring was established in 2006 by former elementary school teacher Pauline Crisci-Goncalves. This tutoring establishment is founded on the principle of providing its students with the highest quality learning experience. The center offers programs for students in grades k-12 and college, as well as classes for adults. Sessions are available both in the center and privately in the home.
Crisci-Goncalves, a former Newton resident of 10 years, believes that "every child can succeed in school given the proper support, encouragement and tools." To this end, Excel Tutoring offers only one-on-one sessions and, in support of the teacher/student rapport, pupils work with the same instructor in each session. All Excel tutors are selected for their excellent credentials as well as teaching experience.
The center's design also reflects the company's commitment to optimize the learning experience. With bright and relaxing, yet studious surroundings, Excel Tutoring students engage in learning supported by comfortable study rooms, full-service technology for Mac and Windows PCs, copying and printing services.
Conveniently located in downtown Newtown, the center currently provides tutoring for students in 17 surrounding towns. Programs offered include mathematics, reading, writing, spelling, social studies/history, science, test prep (SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ACT, CMT, CAPT and more), enrichment, homework assistance, study/organization skills, foreign languages, academic coaching, homeschool instruction, college application and essay assistance.
To determine the academic needs of each student, an initial assessment is conducted prior to the beginning of any program. For more information or to schedule an assessment, contact Crisci-Goncalves at 203-270-8887 or email learn@exceltutoringllc.com.
