The school year is about to begin under very unusual circumstances. In these times, many families may wish to supplement their children’s schooling through individual or small group tutoring sessions.
I am an experienced tutor and a graduate of Yale University. I’m also a proud Brookline High School grad. I can tutor students of all ages and levels in a range of subjects including Math, Science, Foreign Languages [Spanish, French], Music, and English.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope to be able to help the Newton Public Schools’ communities thrive during this unusual school year!
Sincerely,
Gabriel Mininberg
