Bar / Bat Mitzvah Preparation

Door to Door Tutoring helps to ensure that our students undergo positive and meaningful Bar and Bat Mitzvah experiences. We work with students whose knowledge of the Hebrew language ranges from novice-level to advanced proficiency. Our tutors act as teachers, mentors and friends, combining these pivotal roles to provide our students with an accessible and relevant source for Jewish intellectual dialogue and Talmudic religious learning in the modern day. We also function as conduits among students, parents, Hebrew school directors and teaching staff, rabbis, cantors and other synagogue personnel. Our tutors have many years of experience working with the vast majority of temples in Manhattan and the tri-state area. When the religious leaders of these synagogues hear that you may be working within our program, they will be pleased and extremely comfortable in our training process (Please see our testimonials). In fact, when religious teachers and synagogue leaders learn that your son or daughter is studying in our program, they will doubtless be pleased and eager to cooperate with our tutors in giving your child the finest religious education-- one that upholds in the latter day the ancient and revered discipline of Jewish religious scholarship. And, in addition to working with traditional synagogue ceremonies, we also have extensive experience with private, more personal ceremonies taking place outside of the temple (Please see our testimonials).

Jewish Studies

For parents and children who are looking for enrichment programs in addition to those traditionally offered through Hebrew School, or simply an alternative to traditional Hebrew School training, we have programs suitable for all levels and ages which focus variously on Hebrew Language, Jewish Customs, Heritage, History, Ethics, the State of Israel and more. The concepts learned in these programs are presented with an emphasis on demonstrating their relevance to students' modern-day lives. These are available in group or individual settings.

Economics

Economics is quickly becoming the major of choice for undergraduates at top universities**. Students and their parents recognize it as a reliable path to financial and professional stability after college. Additionally, the College Board offers two AP exams which allow high school students to earn college credits and gain a valuable head start toward their Economics degrees. Door to Door Tutoring offers expert tutors who have excelled in their undergraduate coursework as Economics majors. They recognize the importance of the subject and revel in the opportunity to convey to their students the unique way of thinking about the world and society that Economics presents.
