"My niche market is students that need more than a tutor. They need a personalized learning plan that meets them where they are and helps them grow exponentially. During the school year, I work in a CT public school as a high school Mathematics tutor. I'm a certified teacher for grades 5-12. In addition, I help students outside of school get ready for ACT, SAT, PSAT, ASVAB and SCAT. I've been teaching full-time since 2007 and have my own tutoring business called LinkingGrowth.

You will find me responsive, dependable and reliable. My clients see my teaching style as innovative. I'm always coming up with new ideas to teach different concepts to kids to increase their motivation and confidence. Specifically, I work with students with students that are gifted, on the autism spectrum or have ADHD. Here are a few testimonials: "Mary has a huge heart for helping others. She works tirelessly to do good. And she's a true professional, Dan B."; "Mary & I work together in a middle school as math intervention tutors. Mary is intelligent, caring and compassionate. Your child will benefit from engaging in an illuminating educational experience with Ms. I. Sincerely, Karen L."; "Mary has been such a great teacher for our daughter. My daughter looks forward to her lesson every week. Vanessa C." I have many more references to share, and I look forward to meeting you and your family." less...
