As A Business Owner, Tutors for Tots
“Ms. Aleru is absolutely wonderful! My daughter has APD (Audio Processing Disorder) and Ms. Aleru has been able to engage her academically and intellectually on a level that she can understand. Ms. Aleru definitely thinks outside of the box to find new and fresh ways to make subjects that are difficult (especially in the areas of math and writing) fun and exciting. I would recommend Tutors for Tots to anyone looking to supplement their child’s education.”

“We were fortunate enough to have Dupé Aleru as a long term substitute for my sons’ kindergarten class. She was fantastic - the kids genuinely loved her - so naturally I was thrilled when I heard that Dupé was going to start a tutoring business. Lisa currently tutors my son, and she is amazing - patient, intelligent and reliable. I have referred at least three other families to Tutors for Tots and will continue to recommend them should anyone ask!”

“Stephanie, thank you so much for coming here every week to be my tutor. You have helped me so much. I don't even want to know what my grades would look like without your help. You were very supportive, firm but fair. I'm glad that you encourage me to do my best.”
—Rena Accetta, Student
“Last year when we started Tutors for Tots, I was desperate to find academic assistance for my daughter who was a new 6th grader entering Middle School. The transition from 5th grade to 6th grade was difficult and challenging. However, your tutoring program and selection of Kelley totally made the difference in Dominique’s academic success. By the end of the school year, Dominique earned a 3.5 G.P.A. I know that your program works for families who are committed to partnering with you to achieve academic excellence. We are very appreciative and honored to be a part of Tutors for Tots!”
