About Always Sunny Tutoring

I have been working as a learning specialist/academic coach for over ten years.

I work with students from 3rd grade through 12th grade on building strong foundations and fundamentals in Mathematics and English, as well as helping them develop better study and writing habits, note-taking, and organizational and preparation skills.

Additionally, I specialize in standardized test prep for the ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT, SAT, GRE, GMAT, Regents exams, and others. 

I have a BA from the University of Pennsylvania in Communications, with a minor in English and History and an MBA from the NYU Stern School of Business, with a dual major in Finance and Marketing.

I grew up in NYC where I attended the Buckley School and the Collegiate School and still live here with my wife and three daughters.

Before tutoring full-time, I worked on Wall Street for almost 10 years in Equity Research for Barclays Capital, RBC Capital Markets, and Oppenheimer & Co covering the Media, Internet, and Video Game Sectors.

Testimonials

“Whitney is an extremely talented tutor who works beautifully with children and adapts well to a variety of learning styles.  He worked with my two teenage daughters who have very different approaches to learning.  He managed to capture their attention with ease and helped them understand the importance of breaking lessons down to the basics so they could build from there in a logical manner.  Thus, the anxiety and overwhelm of large assignments and new material felt much more manageable for each of them and reduced stress levels.  By fostering this confidence in them, they were able to better absorb the material to complete the assignments successfully as well as learn how to better approach their work each day in the classroom on their own.  He has a special talent for helping kids feel comfortable and guiding them on how to best approach their next hurdle whether it be in Math, English or History.  We can't recommend him enough!”

-Beth, Parent of 8th grader, 10th grader

“My sons loved working with Whitney for test prep and general essay writing skills. Whitney has a wonderful way of making the learning fun and effective. He is able to connect writing skills and strategies to ideas that children find interesting. He also has a similar approach to math and keen ability to figure out a child’s strengths and learning styles in tackling advanced math topics. My sons and I would recommend Whitney highly!”

-Soumya, Parent of 6th grader, 4th grader

“Whitney tutored my son for the SAT & ACT - he was exactly what he needed - not the typical tutor - he figured out how my son learned best and that's how he taught him, and the result? My son increased his SAT score from his first SAT by more than 100 points, and it gave him the balance he needed since his overall school average was a B (curse of the specialized HS). He also tutored my daughter who has test anxiety and it helped her tremendously. I am going to hire him again, that's for sure!”

-Tahira, Parent of 12th grader, 7th grader

Whitney tutored me for the SAT this past summer and I can say without a doubt that his assistance in my score was a major boost to get me into college. Before he started teaching me the best way to take the test, I was getting mid 1200s on the PSAT and online practice exams, but after his tutoring my score jumped 180 points, from a 1240 the first test to a 1420 on my second try. On top of being a great mind and tutor, I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with him, as his personality plays a big part in making the learning more comfortable, as his friendliness and humor makes the work much less of a burden. I’m now headed to Penn State University, and I owe Whitney a great deal of thanks for it. Highly recommended!

-Zach, 12th grade student
