Interested in Tutoring?

The Montessori Method of teaching is unsurpassed as the most outstanding and valuable educational contribution to the entire world. It is honored and recognized by parents and educators on all seven continents. It is the only educational approach that is accompanied by sophisticated and effective teaching materials that have been proven successful for over a century.

The Montessori teaching method is now available at the Marlboro Montessori Academy as an enrichment/remedial program. The Montessori Advantage Learning Center is now accepting students from all surrounding schools and for all ages.


What makes our afterschool tutoring/enrichment program so outstanding is our positive and confidence building approach. The opportunity to succeed is made available as a means to encourage our students to master certain skills. Our Montessori teachers telescope in on specific need areas and backtrack to the skill that is blocking the child’s progression. Using specifically designed Montessori materials, the child is presented with lessons which give a hands-on multi-sensorial approach for easier learning. The ability to touch and see the materials allows more avenues for knowledge to enter the brain. Once the difficulty is addressed, the child can confidently move to the next level of learning in that particular skill area. In addition to a highly regarded philosophy of education, key to Montessori are the highly effective, teaching manipulatives. Like no other, they have already produced remarkable results for over 100 years.
