Welcome to U Get Smarter Tutoring
Offering Homework Help and Tutoring for Elementary School Children
Hi, I’m Nicole, a former elementary school teacher with the NYC Department of Education. Now I help children who are struggling in school feel more confident, improve their grades, and fall back in love with learning.
I’ve always loved working with children. I get a great sense of achievement seeing my students develop and grow as individuals. I’m certified to teach both early and childhood-aged students (pre-K to 6th grade). I’m here to help all children progress in all areas of their development – academic, social, and emotional.
I am kind, empathetic and compassionate and have always had a special gift for understanding children’s needs.
Signs That Your Child May Need a Tutor:
Lack of Motivation
A lack of motivation and focus inside the classroom (or when it comes to homework time) can be overcome with the right tutor.
Declining Grades
Declining or poor grades along with a loss of interest in school-related work can be reversed after working with a very good tutor.
Lower Self Esteem
Low self-confidence when it comes to academics can be overcome with the right tutor helping your child to learn in a way that works for him or her.
How Tutoring Can Help:
When your child is struggling in school it can cause problems for their overall well-being, confidence, and their relationship with you.
For many children, it can be difficult to keep up with the progression of all of the subjects covered in school.
If your child is in a large class or needs extra guidance in an area, a tutor can be the solution you’re looking for. Sometimes, it only takes a single tutoring session or two to help them catch up, regain their confidence, and perform better in school.
Or, if you’re dreading homework time as much as your child is, I’d love to help!
Common Goals for Tutoring
-Get your child caught up on classwork
-Provide a boost in confidence
-Make homework time more productive and fun
-Increase motivation, focus, and drive
-Make school fun for your child
Instead of waiting to start, lets work together to make your child’s academic experience more rewarding.
As a teacher with 15 years of experience in New York City public schools, I have always loved working with children and get a great sense of achievement from seeing my students develop and grow as individuals.
Parent Testimonials
Based on my kids’ experiences with Nicole, she is very good at encouraging kids and helping them build their self-confidence. Her best asset is her ability to utilize appropriate language and positive attitude to interact effectively with students! My son got very high state test results on his very first state test.

My 8-year-old son had a hard time concentrating on school assignments. My friend recommended Nicole, who was tutoring her daughter at the time. After working with Nicole my son’s grades in school and his self-esteem improved dramatically. She’s patient, fun, and my son is always excited for his tutoring sessions with her.

Nicole has been working with my daughter for the past 6 months. I was having a hard time getting my daughter to do her homework assignments and decided through a friend’s recommendation to call Nicole. She sits with my daughter 3 days a week after school to do her homework with her and it has made my relationship with my daughter much easier!
