Our Mission

We are a group of high school volunteers in Ridgewood who provide complementary math and english tutoring for elementary schoolers. We figured that some students may need some extra help in these subjects, especially with the transition from a school year of virtual learning. To start, we want to work only with those who need extra help to keep up with their current or previous grade level curriculum. This is NOT for competitive math/ english or advanced preparation. 

Contact Us

We will be tutoring all year round (including summers). Email us at helpinghands@ridgewood.k12.nj.us.

Testimonials

"We have had a wonderful experience with our tutor so far. She is very patient and good."

- S.M.

"We are extremely grateful to Helping Hands for the time they gave to our 3rd grade daughter this past spring. As a math tutor, our tutor was incredibly pleasant and instructive for Georgia to work with. Our tutor demonstrated professionalism and a keen ability to teach math concepts that could have been challenging to convey online. We would highly recommend our tutor and Helping Hands to other parents." 

- D.G.

"The sessions are going great so far! I love our tutor- she is very patient and encouraging. My 6 year old entering 2nd grade loves the math games and loves the idea of an older student teacher her." 

-E.M.

"Our son had a math test on the lesson he was having trouble with and that he worked on with a tutor. He got 100%!! His very first 100%!! He was so excited!"
