Tutoring For All Ages

A few of you clever online-only students have noticed that the tagline of this website has recently changed its location, from Connecticut to California. That’s because Brooke, the founder of Abacus Learning, is finishing up her PhD and is moving to California. She’ll be maintaining this website and continuing to tutor students, but from a different location.

Additionally, she, make that I, will henceforth be switching narrative perspectives. I’ve always written in a very general style, using “we” and “our” wherever necessary to make the point that the experiences summed up in these articles aren’t just my own. But that grows more cumbersome with each article, so from now on I will write from my own point of view and give credit to other tutors where necessary.

If you are in Connecticut and are searching for a tutor, don’t click away — please feel free to contact me through this website. Many of the tutors I’ve worked with over the years are still in the New Haven area, and I would be happy to hear about your student and put you in touch with whoever is best-suited to your situation. And if you’re in California, you’re in luck!

To all the students and families I’ve worked with over the years, I will miss you! And if you ever decide to move to “SoCal,” drop me a line!

The results are in, and this year’s SSAT students have done exceptionally well. We’ve seen score increases across the board. Some of our students succeeded in nudging their scores up into the 90’s, and others have improved their scores by double-digit percentiles. One student’s overall percentile went up by over 40 points, and we had two perfect verbal scores! I guess we must be doing something right, but most of the credit is certainly due to those students’ diligent work preparing for the test. Congratulations to all of you, and best of luck with this year’s admissions!

This fall, Abacus will be offering several classes for SSAT students planning to take the test this November, December, and January. We will be offering courses in both New Haven and Middlefield, Connecticut.

Enrollment will be limited to 10 students per class to ensure that each student gets enough individualized attention.

If you would like to enroll your student in one of our classes or just have questions for us, please contact us!

Abacus will be offering several seminars during the summer to help students prepare for this fall’s PSAT and SAT. For more information, please contact us from this website or call us at (203) 606-2212.

Welcome back, students!

For those of you applying to private schools this fall and winter, we are offering a course on the SSAT and ISEE. The course begins on October 21 and enrollment is limited, so contact us now to sign up!
