Why families switch to us
A practice, not a center.
Big learning centers run one curriculum with rotating staff. Tutor marketplaces sell you an hour. We work differently.
- We diagnose before we teach. Every learner starts with an intake, so we fix the real gap, not just tonight’s worksheet.
- We teach the whole learner. Our Pause–Regulate–Plan–Practice method builds focus, calm, and confidence into every lesson, which matters most for anxious learners.
- You see the progress. A written plan and a progress note at least every 4 weeks, in plain language you can share with school.
- An expert is on your side. Dr. Gail designs and oversees every plan personally.

Meet the founder
“That’s the real power in equity education.”
Dr. Gail is a proud product of New York City public schools. After a career in business and finance, she went back to school for her doctorate in education, and began mentoring students in her hometown of Brooklyn.
She has been tutoring for more than 20 years and founded The Tutor Tables Group in 2017 with one belief: expert, caring instruction shouldn’t depend on your zip code. Everyone gets a seat at the table.

Results that start with confidence.
Microeconomics was one of the toughest classes I had ever taken… After failing my first exam, I knew I needed help. Dr. Gail broke down complex concepts into simple, real-world examples that finally made sense… I went from failing to earning an A- in the course. More importantly, I gained confidence in my ability to tackle challenging subjects.
Before joining the Tutor Tables Group SAT prep program, I felt overwhelmed by the test. Dr. Gail taught me how to understand the rhythm of a standardized exam. She helped me to overcome the barriers to the SAT with personalized tutoring sessions that helped me raise my SAT scores over 100 points.
I always struggled with English, especially writing essays… As graduation got closer, my anxiety grew… Dr. Gail's holistic approach… completely changed my perspective. She not only helped me improve my writing skills and reading comprehension but also taught me how to manage my stress and build my confidence.
