History

Established in 2003.

Families reach out to Thinking Caps to guide their children in becoming independent learners.

Our process begins with an in-​person Intake Meeting where a TC Academic Director speaks one-​on-​one with both the students and the family to understand goals, strengths and challenges.

With information gathered from the meeting and the student’s teachers and support team, the TC Match process begins and a Flight Map is crafted. The student is then matched with a TC tutor based on several important criteria including needs, interests, personality and learning style.

The Academic Director acts as the point of contact for the family, tutor, and school. This Monthly Check-​in will keep all parties involved with student success on the same page so that lifelong habits are formed and fortified.

Meet the Business Owner

Alexandra M.

Business Owner

Thinking Caps began in my college dorm room at NYU while I was still immersed in studying the facets of psychology and its applications to education. One of my first students was a 7th grade boy, who, after struggling in school, believed he could not succeed without extensive tutoring. Soon after I began working with him, I realized that he was a bright student who just lacked the skills to tackle the school process. I understood that by teaching this student fundamental skills, I would empower him to take charge of his academic life and enable him to succeed both within and beyond the classroom. It was this boy’s accomplishments, and what I learned from my time with him, that ignited my passion for helping students overcome academic hurdles and making their school experiences more successful and enjoyable. Today, Thinking Caps continues with this commitment to helping students in their pursuit of knowledge.
