MTA Mission Statement

Morris Tutoring is committed to joining in a team effort with our students, their parents and teachers, in working toward academic improvement in our students and ourselves, confidence in each student's ability to learn, and lifelong energy for, enjoyment of, and openness to learning.

A History and a Passion

Morris Tutoring began as a one-woman operation in 1985. By 1991, the demand for quality tutoring (and Susan’s limited ability to help with several high school subjects!) led to incorporation and the hiring of capable associates in order to offer a wider range of subjects and more flexibility in scheduling.

Susan taught special education for ten years prior to starting this service. She has a Masters degree in special education, with expertise and experience in learning disabilities and multiple pathways for learning. She now directs MTA, supervises and supports the tutoring staff, performs academic evaluations, tutors students, and consults with parents and teachers.

We pride ourselves on the quality of the instruction at MTA. We limit the number of students we accept to maintain our high standards. Weekend and evening sessions are offered, as well as parent consultation with the director, who can provide parents with ideas and teaching materials from our extensive resource library.

In addition to basic K-8 skills and remedial education, we offer help in specific high school subject areas (math, sciences, writing, history, Spanish, French, Latin) and in preparing for high school and college entrance exams.

MTA tutors are interesting people with a wide range of experience: a former Montessori teacher, moonlighting teachers & professors, experienced retired teachers, and graduate students, to name a few. They are loyal, dedicated, and love working with our students!
