My son loves school, no more arguments about completing homework, all assignments are handed in on time. He actually loves to do the writing assignments, that never happened before!
— LES Parent of a high school student

Judy and her tutors know their stuff! Never before has my child’s grades been so strong. His confidence level has soared and he truly believes he can be successful in school. I am now having my 3rd grader work with Judy to strengthen her skills.

“My child never learned how to write. It was a mass of words on paper. Thank you Judy Cohen, she now writes with organization, knows what a paragraph is, a claim and uses details in writing. Judy truly prepared her for middle school.”

********************************************************************************** 8/2023 During summers I have students write 2 paragraphs for impromptu quotes. The first paragraph explains what the quote means, the second paragraph explains how they apply the quote to their life. This activity strengthens their overall writing skills/ rules/conceptual skills and truly makes them think.  This is why I do what I do!

“Yon't need superpowers to be someone's hero."

 2nd paragraph!

This quote relates to my life because I have many superheroes in my life that help me every day. One of the superheroes is Mrs. Cohen, she has known me since 6th grade and she has helped me become a better writer and person. When we first met I was always giggling and never took anything seriously. She taught me that not everything in life is rainbows and unicorns, and I have to take some things seriously. She has helped me every Tuesday and Thursday since 6th grade and I look forward to it every time. She is always encouraging me and always tells me “You can do this” and sometimes you just need words to be encouraged. Mrs. Cohen isn’t someone who can fly and walk on walls but she is many kid’s superhero and she has helped out many students.
