    I cannot express how grateful and rewarding my experience with Brooklyn Letters has been. Her tutor Ms. Daria is so knowledgeable, amazing, kind and awesome. My daughter has made so much progress in Literacy and Math and it's all … More thanks to Ms. Daria. I know my daughter is sad that she can no longer work with Ms. Daria, as she looked forward to their sessions every week. Thank you again!

  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Colin Peters ★★★★★ 6 months ago
    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie. I've referred your organization and Valerie to the Executive Director of our daughter's school and friends/colleagues who are in need of speech therapy services.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Lil Amatore ★★★★★ 7 months ago
    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care. She was super flexible and it’s clear she truly cares. We adore … More Christina and we’re going to miss her. Almost sad he improved so much! She’s simply amazing and we can’t say enough how great she is. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone, without hesitation. Thank you so much for connecting us with her!
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Heather Liljengren ★★★★★ a year ago
    We cannot say enough good things about Effie, the ASL teacher, who was so engaged and effective with our 2 year old daughter from the very first session! Effie gladly included our whole family in the sessions! Her expertise and fantastic … More personality gave our daughter a way to communicate that she was so desperately seeking. The coordinators at Brooklyn Letters were so helpful and communicative…I would highly recommend their services!
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Brigid Bower ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic! We saw her for a feeding therapy evaluation and while she doesn’t think my daughter needs more feeding therapy sessions at this time, but she gave me lots of tips to try. If my daughter's doctors want … More to see more progress at her next appointment, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Samantha again.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Duygu Başaran ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Brooklyn Letters was recommended to me through a friend's speech therapist friend in NJ. The articulation evaluation for my daughter went well. We were pleased with Kristin's services.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Kelley Peters-Patel ★★★★★ a year ago
    Melissa was wonderful. Our daughter warmed to her immediately and by the time she left, had already started "practicing" some of the techniques Melissa had shown her. I will not hesitate at all to reach out to Melissa again, should … More the need arise.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters R Elmore ★★★★★ a year ago
    Aileen was INCREDIBLY helpful to us, both in assessing possible origins of my grandson's food aversions, as well as informing us of various available interventions to consider.
    I can’t thank you and Brooklyn Letters enough for connecting
    … More us with Aileen. In all our feeding therapy journey we have not gotten anything near the kind of benefit that we did from her. Her knowledge, professionalism, and responsiveness have put us on the path of progress with my grandson and has also made us feel genuinely well cared for.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Christine Weiher ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    We were amazed with Allison! She met my son at 2 1/2 years old, not speaking much at all, and over a computer, and she was able to develop a bond and friendship, so much so that he would look forward to his weekly computer time with Allison. … More I was not sure how the speech therapy would go- but we are so happy that we tried it out and continued. It allowed my son to gain confidence in his speech, make a new friend :), and also give him the skills and a bit of understanding of how to shape his mouth or where to place his tongue to make the proper sounds. We were extremely happy with Allison- she was fantastic to work with.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Andrea Saffady ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    My sessions with Karen have been extremely helpful. My speech has improved tremendously. In fact, I just finished 2 hours of conducting interviews with a consulting client via MS Teams and I have an upcoming conference call. Both my … More neurologist and neurosurgeon remarked about how good my speech is. Much of the day it is perfect, although I still have some rough spots when I get tired or speak too quickly. One of my granddaughters is a speech pathology student at Ithaca College. She sat in on 2 sessions while she was home for winter break, and she was very impressed with Karen.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Jacob B ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were delighted with Christie. First, and most importantly, our son made great strides under her guidance. So great, that we felt he no longer needed help! She was incredibly patient and kind with him and our son really responded to … More her. Christie was also great with me and my wife. She provided thorough and informative updates on our son's progress and which exercises she was using with him, so we could reinforce what she was teaching him. All in all, we had a fabulous experience with Christie and would highly recommend her.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Jessica C ★★★★★ a year ago

    Paige was great and we had been really happy with her. I would highly recommend her! I recommend Brooklyn Letters to whomever asks for a speech therapist.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Jeizel Rosenthal ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Isabel was WONDERFUL and our son absolutely adored her, and he is making great progress with his reading and writing.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Lesley Duval ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Theo was fantastic with our 4yo son. We were very worried that his progress would fall off when we had to switch to remote sessions, but Theo kept our son happy and engaged through the screen. Highly highly recommend!
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Samantha Packard ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We've been working with Theo from Brooklyn Letters for close to 4 months now and the results are apparent; our daughter has vastly improved her speech in a relatively short amount of time. We make "Theo Day" a celebration … More in our house with pancakes for breakfast, and the enthusiasm is matched in the sessions. Theo is fun, patient, professional, and caring, and he gives us the tools to take the lessons beyond the session. Thank you Theo, and Brooklyn Letters, for helping our daughter express herself.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Travis Ricca ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I worked with Alina to enhance my pronunciation, tone, and pacing while communicating socially and in a work environment. She was great to work with and clear about goals and learning objectives. The improvement from day 1 has been tremendous! … More
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Enrico Bermudez ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Cathy has been excellent with us and our son. We will sorely miss her. He has improved significantly with Cathy’s help. Cathy was a true partner with us, especially as we pursued additional help through our son’s school system.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Kayne Elisabeth Wilk ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We really loved working with Alina, she is so fantastic. Patient yet firm, and determined the best course of action very clearly and succintly for us. And it all transitioned so well to Zoom as well. I will definitely be back in touch for … More services for our other child after summer break!
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Jen S ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Vera was amazing! My 11 yo daughter made progress so quickly and really looked forward to her sessions. She was kept motivated and engaged.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters susie tofte ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    The work that Allison P. did with our daughter over the years has been invaluable to us. Our daughter had such a good relationship with Allison, and it allowed them to work really well together - even remotely these past 6 months. This … More year, Allison went above and beyond by helping us throughout the neuropsych eval we did, trying to re-open our daughter's IEP at her school, and eventually landing her at our chosen school. She was in contact with our daughter's teachers, with the neuropsychologist, and made herself available as a reference to speak on behalf of our daughter's learning differences.
    Allison stopped by our house last week to give our daughter cupcakes and say goodbye, and I literally cried with appreciation for what an amazing speech therapist she has been. She has been our daughter's biggest champion. The new families that she will work with this year are lucky to have her.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Alicia Perez-Katz ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Sydney was great! Our son was sad to end his sessions with her, which says a lot. We appreciated her honest assessment of his skill level, and he now has materials to self monitor and practice. Thank you!
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Kristin Ames ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Our experience with Theo was terrific. Theo was great with my son. He developed a positive relationship with him based on sincerity, respect, trust and a deep personal connection. In their lessons, Theo was encouraging, creative and kind. … More He helped our son understand how to differentiate the sounds he made when he spoke, and gave him great exercises to practice every week between lessons. Our son was sorry to have the lessons come to an end, but recognized that Theo had helped him as much as possible and it was time for him to stop. Theo explained to him (and us) how to keep working to get the last 5%, and encouraged him to keep working on the exercises on his own. I have recommended Theo to another parent who noticed my son's improvement and inquired for her own son.
    We are all grateful to have gotten to know Theo, and we greatly appreciate all the work he did to help our son.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Aisha Holder ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    "I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michelle Macroy-Higgins. We are extremely pleased with her work with our daughter. I was so grateful for my daughter to have a speech therapist who is a researcher (specialty in late … More talkers), graduate professor and practitioner. Her expertise was clearly evident in our conversations and work with our daughter. She was very responsive to my questions and often sent articles and other materials about language development that I found helpful. Thankfully, my daughter's speech improved tremendously. Michelle developed such a warm relationship with my daughter. My daughter was always excited to see Michelle and would greet her at the door with a big hug. Lastly, I would add that Michelle always demonstrated empathy with me as a mother who was initially worried about her daughter's language development. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with Michelle's work."
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Andrea Peartree ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Theo is a wonderful Clinton Hill speech therapist. We were really pleased with him. Our son showed drastic improvement, not only in his speech but in his confidence.
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters mario costa ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Alexa has been an enthusiastic, reliable, well prepared and caring teacher for our 6 year old daughter. She has been able to improve and increase our daughter's confidence lesson by lesson with patience and competence; through varied … More and productive didactic practice. Alexa has engaged our daughter in several activities that always kept her motivated and eager to learn literacy. My wife and I, both of us are educators, feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to observe Alexa's pedagogical skills. Alexa has had a big impact on our daughter literacy growth. Thank you Brooklyn Letters!
  • Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters Lily Alt ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were absolutely DELIGHTED with Marsha's services. She was wonderful. We found her to be kind, fun, engaging, very knowledgeable. She provided us with clear instructions and additional written handouts each week. She engaged our … More son with different techniques and toys, and showed us how to use her techniques when we were interacting with him. I actually just texted her on Saturday - Our son finally said "more" - one of the target words we had been working on with her. It was a total joy to hear, and I had to share it with her - she wrote back immediately to congratulate us. I am so appreciative of her expertise, and wish we could have seen her for longer. I recommended her to another family in our neighborhood who is looking for a speech therapist.

SUMMER TUTORING PROGRAMS

1:1 Summer Tutoring Programs for Preschool–5th Grade (NYC Metro Area)

Summer Tutoring Programs, Brooklyn Letters
One-on-one tutoring for early learners across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens & beyond. In-home or online.

This summer, give your child more than just a break—offer them a chance to grow with targeted, one-on-one support. Brooklyn Letters connects families with providers who offer in-home and online summer tutoring across the NYC metro area, including Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, the Bronx, New Jersey, Connecticut, Westchester, Philadelphia, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Hamptons. Independent providers support neurodivergent learners, including children with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other learning differences and learning disabilities, helping them stay academically sharp during the summer months. Educational specialists design reading, writing, and math programs that are personalized, engaging, and focused on preventing learning loss while supporting each child’s unique profile.

Why Summer Tutoring Matters

Summer is a time for rest and fun — but it shouldn’t come at the cost of academic momentum. Research shows students can lose up to two months of progress during summer break, especially in math and reading. That “summer slide” can make returning to school more stressful and widen skill gaps over time.

Our one-on-one sessions are designed to stop that slide. With just 1–3 sessions per week, students retain what they’ve learned, rebuild confidence, and even get ahead — all while enjoying a relaxed, hands-on learning experience that feels nothing like traditional school.

Who We Help

We support preschool through 5th grade students across a wide range of learning profiles, needs, and goals. Whether your child is catching up, staying steady, or craving a challenge, we tailor each session to fit them.

We’re an ideal match for:

  • Preschoolers and rising kindergarteners preparing for school routines
  • Students who struggled in reading, writing, or math during the year
  • Kids with ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences needing specialized support
  • Children changing schools or grade levels and seeking confidence in new environments
  • Advanced learners who thrive with academic enrichment
  • Families needing flexible scheduling around travel, camps, or downtime

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We meet each child where they are — and help them grow from there.

What We Teach

Literacy Support That Lasts

Reading and writing support builds foundational skills and nurtures confident readers and expressive writers. Whether your child is learning to sound out words or writing essays, we guide their growth with proven strategies.

Key skills include:

Math That Makes Sense

Math sessions make abstract concepts more concrete through movement, visuals, games, and real-world applications.

Focus areas include:

  • Number sense and place value
  • Math facts and operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
  • Word problem strategies and logical reasoning
  • Math fluency through games and visual modeling

SEIT Support for Developmental Growth

SEIT services address social-emotional learning, behavior, adaptive skills, and executive functioning. We treavel to your child’s summer camp or daycare, and collaborate with families to reinforce IEP goals and promote real-life skill-building.

Support areas include:

  • Social interaction and peer play
  • Emotional regulation and coping strategies
  • Classroom readiness and focus
  • Communication and language development
  • Sensory and behavioral accommodations

Comprehensive Educational Assessments

Before beginning tutoring or mid-program, some families choose to start with an academic evaluation. Assessments are designed to identify and build upon key academic skills, pinpoint learning gaps, and set a targeted learning plan in motion. This helps ensure your child’s sessions are aligned with their most important needs — and set them up for meaningful growth.

Custom Homework Packets

For families who want continued practice outside of sessions, we also offer personalized homework packets in literacy, math, and science. These optional resources reinforce key concepts and provide light, structured learning that keeps your child engaged, challenged, and better prepared for the school year ahead.

Learning That Feels Like Play

Each session is packed with purpose — but feels like fun. We blend academics with creative, hands-on activities that bring learning to life and keep kids engaged.

Here’s a quick look at some of our favorite age-appropriate projects:

Preschool–Kindergarten
  • 🎨 Color-Changing Playdough: Sensory science meets early vocabulary
  • 📖 Storytime Adventures: Interactive reading with listening games
Grades 1–3
  • 📐 Marshmallow Geometry: Build 3D shapes and boost spatial thinking
  • 🕵️ Themed Scavenger Hunts: Reading, math, and problem-solving on the move
Grades 4–5
  • 🔆 DIY Solar Ovens: Science meets engineering
  • 🌍 Dream Vacation Planner: Research, budgeting, and persuasive writing

We rotate activities based on interest and skill goals. Every session is creative, structured, and tuned to how your child learns best.

For over a decade, Brooklyn Letters has supported NYC families with compassionate, high-quality academic services. We’re not a tutoring center — we connect families with specialists, educators, and therapists who work one-on-one with your child in-home or online.

Families love us because:

  • Tutors are certified, experienced professionals — never students or interns
  • Every session is tailored to your child’s learning style and pace
  • We offer flexible scheduling around your family’s summer plans
  • We specialize in ADHD, dyslexia, speech-language needs, and more
  • We build lasting relationships — not just academic skills

How It Works

Getting started is easy and flexible:

  1. Book your free consultation. Tell us about your child, your goals, and your schedule.
  2. We’ll match you with a great-fit tutor — someone experienced, engaging, and well-suited to your child’s learning style.
  3. Choose your format: In-home or online, or a mix of both.
  4. Set your schedule: Most families do 1–3 sessions per week, typically 60 minutes.

You’ll receive regular check-ins and optional progress notes — so you’re always in the loop on how things are going.
