The Broward Tutor Randi Gelfond

FROM STUDENTS

Mrs. Gelfond is the Superhero of Tutors! Kids learn from her because she shows you ways to help you understand more easily. In Math, she taught me more about place value, and showed me a nine trick to help me remember my multiplication tables. We make a good team.

David, Special Needs student

Mrs. Gelfond is tutorific! She helps me with reading comprehension and vocabulary strategies. She makes learning fun with activities like beach ball questions, dictionary races, and board games. She uses Sports Illustrated Kids to make questions out of the sports cards for me to answer. I even made a quiz for her! She is cool, fun, and awesome!

Zack, 3rd grader

Mrs. G is a spectacular tutor. Once we began our lessons, I started to get better at reading. At first, I didn't like to read. I would just ignore words I didn't know, and I didn't read carefully at all. Now I take the time to search for context clues, and my vocabulary has improved so much. Now, I get interested in stories and read for the joy of it. Sometimes, Mrs. Gelfond and I trade books, and then discuss them. Mrs. G is friendly and patient, and she understands how I learn best.

Maheen, 5th grader

Mrs. Gelfond is a nice and smart tutor who likes kids a lot. From her, I learned how to read and spell in English. The way she teaches makes it easy to learn and understand new things, and I am trying harder than I ever did before!

Alejandro, ESOL student

Mrs. Gelfond has helped my writing increase 100%. She has the best methods that are both educational and fun. She is always smiling, and every Thursday I have a blast. I almost don't want to leave. We explore websites for research, and I truly am enthusiastic about going to tutoring. My brain takes off while learning about all different things like Stonehenge and the Holocaust.

FROM PARENTS

Zachary's current 3rd grade teacher has commented that his attentiveness and grades have improved since our sessions with Mrs. Gelfond. Zachary and I appreciate it tremendously!

Aaron, parent of 3rd grader

Mrs Gelfond has made the impossible possible. When she started working with my son, he had only been in the States 6 months and his language and math skills were lacking. He is now speaking English well, his math skills have improved, and he has gained confidence and self-esteem. I'm happy my son and I have the opportunity to work and learn from such a fine, knowledgeable, talented, compassionate and caring professional.

Patricia, parent of Special Needs/ESOL student

Randi has been my son's tutor for the past year. Originally, I contacted Randi to provide math support, but decided to keep him in tutoring after noticing the positive impact she was having on his desire to learn. Cooper is in the Gifted program at school, and I am constantly looking for ways to keep him interested and excited about learning. Every lesson with Randi is fun, challenging, and exciting, and is tailored to Cooper's interests and any educational concerns that I may have. Cooper and I love Randi and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor!

Sara, parent of 4th grade Gifted student

We have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Randi for more than a year now. Our son was facing difficulties with his reading comprehension. She spoke with my son’s teacher to grasp a better understanding of the issues. In just a few months, the results were tangible. My child not only was on level, but was moving forward with more advanced reading material. We are very lucky she has been by our side making sure my son has a great reading foundation!

The Karras family

Mrs. Gelfond has helped my son by building up his self-esteem and giving him the tools needed for success.

Danielle, parent of 3rd grader

Ms. Randi is an excellent tutor. She has been tutoring my daughter Katherine for a couple of weeks, and I have already seen academic improvements. Ms. Randi is patient and kind. She is always prepared and works with my daughter on skills she struggles with in school. My daughter looks forward to seeing her each week.

Lisa Monica, satisfied mom of a kindergarten student

My daughter, who is 9 years old, was at risk of repeating the 3rd grade. Ms. Randi worked with my daughter for 4 months, teaching her skills, techniques, and tricks that resulted in her passing her test and going into 4th grade. My daughter is showing great progress, and I am grateful to Ms. Randi for her hard work and dedication. I would recommend her for your struggling children - you will see the results. She’s the true 'child whisperer.'

Clicile Pierre, parent of 4th grader

We drive all the way from Bal Harbour to Weston three times a week to work with Randi. Despite being very bright and curious, our son was struggling tremendously with his academics, and his confidence was very low. In just a few short months of being homeschooled with Randi, he has learned more than ever before. She has completely transformed him as a student, and his self-esteem is improving every day. Randi also tutors our five year old and is brilliant with him as well. She really connects with and understands children and how they learn, and she is always well prepared for each lesson.

Francesca Davy, parent of 2nd grader and kindergartner

Mrs. Gelfond works on Gifted enrichment lessons with my daughter. Samantha was missing that “spark” that she had last year. With Mrs. Gelfond’s encouragement, her curiosity has exploded! Mrs. G creates her lessons so that they have something to do with what my daughter loves most: plants and animals. Even though my daughter doesn’t notice, everything they do together improves her reading, writing, and math skills. Mrs. Gelfond just naturally understands the ways my daughter learns best.
