Since Magic Carpet Learning is small, we have a very personal relationship with each child and parent. You are always interacting with the same person, the owner, who is also an experienced teacher. What if two children are in the same grade and need help with the same subject, for example, reading?
They will still have their own customized curriculum because they are two different people, and everyone learns differently. Since no two children are on exactly the same reading or math level, why should their curriculum be the same? If you go to a big tutoring center, your child may have a different teacher and a different schedule every week.

Magic Carpet Learning is a small, privately owned learning center, not a franchise. It was founded by a Special Education teacher who lost her job after her school district slashed the budget in 2010. As news of her imminent departure spread, dozens of outraged parents called the district office and wrote letters to the superintendent on her behalf.
Research has shown that children understand and retain new concepts better when they are presented in a multisensory fashion. At Magic Carpet Learning, we use an Orton-Gillingham-based multisensory approach. This is a dynamic methodology and as every parent and teacher knows, children learn best when they are excited and engaged.
Call or e-mail us to schedule a consultation. We will assess your child in reading, writing or math, depending on the nature of your concerns. After the assessment, we will discuss the results with you and give you our recommendation. Some children come to Magic Carpet Learning once a week. Others come two or three times per week.
Is your 4-year-old having trouble learning the sounds that correspond with each letter of the alphabet? Can your child identify pairs of rhyming words? Is forming letters properly a challenge? These skills are early predictors of reading success. If your child is experiencing difficulty in any of these key areas, a multi-sensory approach, based on Orton-Gillingham, can help.

I would highly recommend Magic Carpet Learning. The progress and enthusiasm I have seen with my child is amazing. His confidence is growing and he now loves to read. I have seen significant progress in only a couple of months. Also important, Lori provides honest, insightful, and regular feedback on your child's progress. She is really an amazing teacher and truly cares about your child's progress.

After researching many commercial tutoring and enrichment centers, we found a hidden jem in Bronxville, NY, that is Majic Carpet Learning. The warm and welcoming decor in the window display that includes plush teddy bears sets the tone for a kid- friendly atmosphere.
This warm and kid friendly mood continues as you enter the door and is a wonderful… reflection of Ms. Lori, the director, as a person and teacher. She is warm, genuinely cares for her students' progress and always has a positive outlook of her students.

Magic Carpet Learning Center has been invaluable to our family throughout the years. Whether it was our older child who needed help with math word problems or our younger child who just wanted to "get ahead" in reading and math, Magic Carpet has been an absolutely wonderful experience for our children (and for us as parents). There is nothing like seeing grades improve while a child develops a thirst for learning.
Our 9 year old and our 7 year old each independently told us: "Ms. C makes learning so much fun". Truer words were never spoken as Ms. C truly does effectively teach in a way which does

We can provide the finest review and comments about Magic Carpet Learning and the tutoring services. My 3 children were students at Magic Carpet at varying age levels, ranging from kindergarten through high school. They received help and guidance in wherever they needed it ranging from early reading instruction to high school essay writing. The owner is an experienced and talented educator who can adapt her work mode to wherever it is needed and provides supportive and constructive help. My children were students at Magic Carpet for many years and it always worked for us. We would highly recommend
