Learn more below about our Elite Tutoring, Executive Functioning Coaching, Learning Support, Referral (Educational Testing), and Admissions Support Services.

Elite Subject-Specific Tutoring

When specific content area or subject-specific support is needed, we have an experienced teaching team and wide referral network to find the precise fit and level of support or enrichment to fit each student’s evolving needs.

Executive Functioning (EF) Coaching

The ability to organize, plan, and stay focused are all executive function skills, and are highly influential in a child’s ability to stay on task, study, and retain knowledge. EF Coaching can give children and young adults the tools and skills they need to fully meet their potential, and are skills they will use the rest of their life.

Learning Specialist Support

Every child is unique, and central to optimizing their learning is uncovering the specific ways each child learns and experiences the world. CLC develops individualized learning interventions, materials, and general support that help your child feel capable and confident. Learning support involves enhanced academic as well as executive functioning skills, often with a focus on close reading, analysis and writing, but is not limited to any one content area.

Referrals & Support for Neuropsychological Evaluation and IESPs (or IEPs)

If you are deciding whether or not to move forward with a neuropsychological evaluation for your child, are seeking a re-evaluation, or have questions about navigating the IESP process, we can help. We partner with you through all steps of this process, from referral to what to anticipate after the testing is complete.

School Fit and Admissions Process

Our admissions background will help your child and your family make crucial considerations around school fit as well as prepare for the admissions process, including mock interviewing and navigating test prep.

  • “Mary's incredible dedication, deep expertise, and genuine care and compassion for students has made a life-changing impact for my children. Her work with students across age ranges reflects her nuanced understanding of the developmental needs of students, balanced with her ability to support students to reach their potential and to build their confidence. Her expertise allows her to work with many different kinds of students (my own three children included), and she is adept at working with parents and students to navigate many different academic environments. We cannot recommend Mary highly enough!!”

  • “Like many parents of first time high school freshmen, we watched with feelings of helplessness when our son struggled to navigate the demands of high school, both socially and academically. As much as we tried to help our son, our efforts often only increased his stress. Fortunately, we connected with Mary, and it has made all the difference. Mary helped us as parents understand that what we perceived as disorganization or procrastination by our son was often the result of the heavy demand placed on today’s students to navigate multiple assignments, projects and deadlines on separate platforms and formats. Mary expertly balances warm and supportive encouragement with firm structure and accountability. Whether it was through weekly facetime sessions, encouraging phone calls or text message reminders, Mary’s steady consistency made all the difference for our son, and to our family. Through Mary’s active coaching and experience, our son formed healthy study habits and engaged in long-term academic planning. Under Mary’s guidance, our son reached high academic goals and is now positioned to successfully achieve any future academic goal he sets. We can't recommend Mary more highly.”

  • As a fellow educator, I was always uncomfortable when a parent asked me to step in and do some parenting when it came to their child. However, when my own son began to have academic challenges and he bristled at my suggestions, I knew I needed help. Enter Mary Corbelli, student (and parent!) whisperer. Mary took the time to get to know my son as a person and a student so she could tackle his needs in a way that was tailored to him, specifically. Her personalized approach allowed for quick growth and improvement. Mary was able to provide just the right balance of content knowledge and skill development in the areas that my son really needed. As he grew, matured, and improved, their work changed so that she was always right where she was needed on his academic journey. Watching him internalize the skills Mary was teaching and begin to utilize them on his own was a wonderful thing. In addition to her work with my son, Mary provided me with regular updates on where he was and where he was heading with her guidance. She explained how he learned and what I could be doing with him to support his development and success. She truly saved the day!

  • “As an incoming high school senior, I have found that working with Dr. Corbelli has been critical to my academic success. She helped me develop better study techniques, improve my studying efficiency, and ultimately, improve my grades. Dr. Corbelli has a way of breaking down difficult topics and making them easier to understand. What sets Dr. Corbelli apart from other tutors I have worked with is how much she invests in her students and how much she genuinely cares about their success. She always goes the extra mile to help me fully grasp the material and encourages me to ask questions to ensure that I really understand what she is saying. I saw significant improvements in my test scores after I started working with Dr. Corbelli. She has also been so helpful with my college search, which as anyone knows, can be very overwhelming if you don’t have someone as awesome as Dr. Corbelli guiding you through the process. Trust me, Dr. Corbelli is the best! It’s rare to find someone this smart, patient, kind, and dedicated to helping her students succeed. If you need an incredible tutor, Dr. Corbelli is the one to call!”

  • “As a parent who spent years searching for the right support for my neurodiverse child, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Mary. From the very first session, she demonstrated an uncanny ability to understand my daughter’s unique learning style and needs, crafting a truly individualized approach that supported her challenges while celebrating her strengths. Mary created an inclusive and affirming space where my daughter felt genuinely seen and valued, which made all the difference. She brought a rare blend of warmth, structure, and high expectations — pairing empathy and encouragement with academic rigor in a way that kept my daughter both engaged and organized. The strategies Mary developed were practical, effective, and tailored to my daughter’s pace and personality. As a direct result, my daughter’s confidence soared; she began tackling challenges with optimism, taking ownership of her work, and feeling proud of her progress. Beyond completing assignments, Mary helped her build independence, resilience, and a lasting belief in her own abilities. And perhaps best of all — my daughter genuinely adored her. Mary truly worked miracles with my child, and is the best of the best. I can't say enough wonderful things about her and what she has been able to achieve.”

  • “Our oldest is now in high school, and Mary has been working with him since middle school. Mary has worn many hats: academic support and guidance, executive function coach, and, critically, helping us to understand how we can best partner with the school to maximize his opportunities. Mary is never thrown by whatever new challenges present and never hesitates to hop on a call (beyond the 1:1 session with our son) to workshop solutions. She constantly provides caring and holistic support - always keeping in mind when to push harder and when to slow down and provide the care and encouragement needed on any given day. In short, Mary is the student whisperer, and any student (and their family) is lucky to have her on their team. We could not recommend her more.”

  • “Mary's superpower is her EQ and ability to connect with her students. She has a calming and reassuring demeanor, which has helped our daughter manage her stressful and, at times, frustrating New York educational environment. Mary combines deep knowledge of what schools are looking for — providing her students actionable, tactical assistance (i.e., she gets "the game") — with a healthy balance of wisdom, humor, and skepticism — helping put schools' educational expectations in proper life perspective. What Mary ultimately teaches are the skills and mindset required to cope with life's pressures, well beyond the school years. Mary has been incredibly helpful for our daughter across a wide range of subjects, spanning history, English, and science, among others. She is adept at coaching "soft" skills like organizational, executive functioning, and navigating relationships with teachers, as well as more specific assignments including essay writing, research, test preparation, and lab reports. We and our daughter especially appreciate Mary's responsiveness and flexibility: she doesn't hesitate to make time for "emergency" sessions in the face of last-minute deadlines. As parents, we have seen how much Mary's guidance has benefited our daughter, and recommend her without hesitation.”
