WELCOME TO
THE TRAVELING TUTOR

"I would strongly recommend Sherri Pranzo as a tutor for your middle or high school student. My advice, though, is to get on her waiting list when your child is born! She is well worth the wait!  I believe I put my name on her waiting list about two years prior to needing her. She is so organized; that's how she runs her business and that's a big part of what she teaches her students.

​

I used Sherri for three of my daughters ranging from 7th grade to senior year. What a difference it made.  Besides being a fantastic tutor who knows how to teach each subject, Sherri teaches them the fundamentals - how to organize, how to study, how to prepare for quizzes and finals. What Sherri taught my children transcended the coursework.  It helped them when they went to college, and they never would have learned those fundamentals on their own (or with any other tutor - we tried several before Sherri.)

​

Sherri is always patient and understood each of my daughters' level of learning and motivation.  They were very different students, and Sherri understood just how to work with each one.

Sherri keeps track of each student's finals schedule and makes extra time to tutor them for finals which really helps!  She often spends extra time with the students if they need extra help for an upcoming test.  My children never complained when they had to be tutored - they actually looked forward to it because they enjoyed her teaching style.  Her tutoring method also instilled a sense of confidence in our daughters, and I believe a large part of their success in school had to do with the fact that they felt that they were ready when they sat for a test.

​

We also used Sherri for SAT/ACT tutoring, and you could truly feel how excited she was when your child got a great score or got into their top college choice.

​

While Sherri is a true professional, she is also such a pleasure to be around and always has time to chit-chat a bit before she leaves.  I believe I've gotten to know Sherri fairly well now that she's tutored my three daughters, and on top of being an excellent tutor and teacher, she is also a warm, caring person. Sherri has been coming to our house weekly for years now and she is always a pleasure and always has a smile!"

"I have been tutored by Sherri since I was in 6th grade.  Today, I am a senior and I can truthfully say, I would have never been as hardworking or determined as I am without Sherri.  She taught me much more than just french, english, math and sciences.  Sherri taught me necessary working tools to be successful.  She showed me organization and always kept me on top of my schoolwork and extracurricular activities.  She most importantly taught me that to be happy, you need to do what you love.  Without her teaching me that, I think I would've been very much so misguided.  She brought up my grades and work ethics tremendously and taught me how to be a hard worker."

"Sherri was fantastic to work with.  As an adult returning to college after a prolonged absence, it was challenging to master the Science and English curriculum.  It was also very hard to find a tutor that would assist an adult learner.  Sherri was referred by a friend and she was a Godsend!  She helped me to break down complex topics into simpler terms using practical and often fun examples.  Her approachable style combined with a wealth of knowledge on a variety of subjects helped me to succeed when I thought it was hopeless. I would recommend her for any student, regardless of age, who truly wishes to succeed."

"Sherri is a charismatic and creative tutor.  With enthusiasm and commitment, she taught each of my three kids according to their learning style.  My kids consider Sherri a tutor and a mentor.  Not only did their grades improve and stay high when she was tutoring them, but also their self-esteem and organizational skills improved.

​

Her SAT program is exemplary and all of them had improved scores and one of them had an increase of 320 points in her score!

​

I believe Sherri's tutoring changed the trajectory of my kids' lives; one who formerly hated math and science is now studying nursing, and the oldest is on Wall Street.

​

Thank you  Sherri - you are THE BEST!"

"I wouldn't know where to begin to emphasize how helpful Sherri has been not only in my academic career, but also as a role model.  She knows how to help and critique any kind of student and I'm sure I was one of the more challenging ones, but she never disappointed in making sure I'm organized, know what I need to know, and most importantly [she] makes my most difficult subjects fun to learn. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to further their education beyond high school.  And lastly I will say, she has yet to leave one of my questions unanswered (and trust me I ask a lot, especially not pertaining to the lesson we would be learning.)  One of the most intelligent people I have ever met!"

Chris Scarangella (12th grade)     Glastonbury, CT      2012-2018

"Sherri has impacted my grades a lot!  Without her I don't know how I would survive. She's ready to be asked any questions that you have and she will provide a descriptive answer or example until you understand.  She helps me stay organized and manage my time efficiently.  Before a big test or exam, she'll come as often as I need her and make sure I'm prepared."

Riley K. (12th grade)     Glastonbury, CT        2014-2018

"Hi Sher!  Thank you so much for being there for Angie!  You really go above and beyond and you are a great friend!!  Ange just gets so unsettled when she can't figure her homework out; you coming last night was such a relief for her. With all that she is undertaking right now your visit was priceless!"

Lisa G. (parent)         Glastonbury, CT        2012-present

"I worked with Sherri for SSAT and SAT prep.  She is very organized, has a detailed plan and she explains concepts in a way I understand.  Also, she makes sure I completely understand a subject before moving on to the next area.  She is also very enthusiastic about teaching."

Christina D. (12th grade)     Glastonbury, CT   2013-2018

"[Sherri] teaches me how to learn math problems by showing me the different ways to solve problems.  She always checks with me to see which method I understand the best, and that's the one we use.  She gives me hints on how to remember certain things, like formulas.  She is also very nice and calm!"

"Three years down- one to go! Thank you so much for your continued knowledge, support and kindness to Adam and our family.  You have honestly kept the sanity in our house through Adam's high school years!"
