Phonics games, storytelling, and writing exercises that remove the fear around reading and build strong instincts in reading, writing, and speaking — perfect for our youngest learners.
A play-based, conversation-driven approach that helps young learners from every background build confidence and adapt quickly, whether in the U.S. or abroad.
Expert, one-on-one support tailored to your child — reading, writing, phonics, and homework help through the elementary years.
Founded by lifelong teachers who combine years of classroom experience with creative, student-centered methods across New York City and Boston.
A dedicated educator with a diverse background in ESL teaching and curriculum development. After earning her degree in Sociology from CU Boulder, Tracy spent six years teaching English across Brazil and Argentina to students of every age and background.
Back in the U.S., she developed specialized curricula at Be Fluent NYC, with a focus on young learners who need to acquire English quickly — including recent arrivals, bilingual, neurodivergent, and gifted students. Her lessons often weave in music, guitar, and ukulele to make learning joyful.
An experienced educator with a rich background in early childhood education. Katie earned her Master's in Early Childhood Education and taught kindergarten and first grade for nearly a decade, guiding countless students as they learned to decode text and connect with stories.
With a BFA and a lifelong passion for drawing and painting, she brings art into her lessons and meets each student at their own level. Katie keeps close communication with families about goals, progress, and the skills being built, and currently tutors online and in-person in the Boston MetroWest area.

We focus on early learners — roughly preschool through grade 5. Our reading and ESL programs are built for that age range, where a strong foundation makes the biggest difference. Every plan is tailored to the individual child's level.
Our primary focus is online tutoring for flexibility and access, but we do offer in-person sessions in certain areas, subject to availability.
Early reading and phonics, writing, elementary math, and general homework help, plus specialized ESL support — all geared toward preschool through grade 5.
We assess each student's strengths and areas for growth, then create customized lesson plans aligned with their academic goals and interests — using play-based learning, phonics games, storytelling, and music to keep it engaging.
We have experience supporting students with a variety of learning differences, using specialized strategies and tools to meet each child's unique needs and help them succeed.
We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule, so we can offer that time slot to other students.
A reliable internet connection, a computer or tablet, and access to Zoom or Google Meet. We'll walk you through any technical requirements.
Tracy and Katie helped my daughter find her voice. My first grader was too shy to speak in class, but after working with Tracy she's now confident and participates eagerly.
Katie's patience and creativity helped my son overcome his reading challenges. He was falling behind, but now he's excelling — and even helping his friends read!
Tracy's engaging lessons helped my daughter overcome her shyness. She's now confident in her English skills and thriving in her new environment.
The Early Edge tutors made lessons feel like a game. My child is now excited to read and even starts homework independently.
