About Us

Shany has been immersed in the tutoring industry for 15+ years. With 7 years of Product Management Experience at different software companies, combined with years of being a Calculus Math Teacher, and private tutor herself, she decided to launch Productive Tutoring in 2018 as a way to match competent, caring, and efficient tutors  with students. Together with her team, they strive to provide the best possible service and experience to  students and families by offering high quality service and exceptional customer support.

• We have teaching experience (past and present) - Current and past teachers and tutors. We know the content like no other - and we know how to teach students to "fish" (aka empower and teach themselves).
• We can think like the student - A technique we frequent while tutoring is to have the student walk us through their thought processes, step-by-step. This allows us to understand how they think about math so that we can tailor our approach towards their method of thinking. This makes math make more sense!
• We are personable - We can get along with anyone and have experience working with a large range of  students: from troubled teens to students polishing applications for elite universities.  Our heart is in this and we truly care! 
• We're specialists - We specialize in in-home math tutoring and offer almost every subject, for every age. We know how to make every minute count and share the knowledge. Every session is productive!

• We match you with a tutor that you will thrive with - After an initial diagnostic 1 hour session with the founder, you are hand-picked matched with your perfect tutor. 
• We make it fun AND productive - we inspire, excite, and make every minute count. 
• We communicate effectively - texts and phone calls are returned quickly, scheduling is a breeze, calendar invites, quick payments, and more.
• Long term success - We are here to set you up with skills for success, not just nailing your next exam. You will be provided with pro-tips at every session on how to study, how to take notes, and how to think through any problem that comes your way.
