Thanks to your positive comments and referrals, Private Prep has continued to grow steadily over the past five years, and 2010 was no exception. Our continued growth has enabled us to reinvest in resources that make Private Prep better able to meet the needs of the students and parents we serve. We are also continuing to nurture and foster strong relationships with various schools throughout the New York community. These bonds further our abilities to communicate openly with the schools our students attend.
With such growth we have a greater need to seek out and selectively recruit new tutors as our first priority remains the same: providing families with talented, highly motivated and experienced educators who have a passion for teaching. Fortunately, we receive numerous new resumes each week, allowing our hiring process to be highly selective. Tutors who make it through our phone interview are asked to interview in person. As part of the interview, applicants prepare a lesson plan, illustrate their teaching style and are tested on the material.
Through this process we have found a number of highly qualified individuals who are passionate about education, growth, and Private Prep. The following are profiles for a few of our new recruits this year.
Adrienne Cousineau: Adrienne graduated summa cum laude from Fordham University with a BA in French Studies and Philosophy and a minor in Spanish. In her junior year, she studied abroad in both Paris, France and Santiago, Chile. She has traveled to other parts of Europe and Latin America for pleasure, service, and dance. Read more.
David Stein: In the fourteen years David Stein has been a tutor and teacher, he has made boring subjects interesting, interesting subjects fascinating, and standardized tests less daunting. He learned how as a Philosophy major at the University of Chicago. Read more.
Stephanie McGuire: Since moving to New York City five years ago, Stephanie has enjoyed tutoring a wide variety of subjects including chemistry, biology, mathematics, English language arts, and SAT prep. She studied biology and neuroscience at MIT before earning her Ph.D. in neuroscience at the University of Oxford, supported by a British Marshall Scholarship and a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship.

Daniel Rufer: An avid sports fan and life-long New Yorker, Daniel has spent the last seven years of his life at the front of the classroom teaching mathematics.
