Founder/CEO
Hello! My name is Meghan. I have been teaching in NY for about 5 years. I grew up on Long Island, NY but I now live in Queens, NY. I am very passionate about working with students to optimize growth and engagement in learning. I love finding creative ways to get students engaged in their learning, learning should be fun! I want to make sure your child is excited to work with me and is motivated to do well. Besides teaching, I love to hike, spend time outdoors with my dog and go visit my family on Long Island. I look forward to working with you and your child to reach their fullest potential here at Humphreys.

Hello everyone, my name is Ms. Robin. I began teaching and tutoring students of various ages over three years ago when I decided I wanted a career change. Before that, I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from Harvard in 2011 and then started my career in finance and real estate project management. I had a great time doing this work for 8-9 years and then decided I wanted to try something new, so I started tutoring elementary school students, and then progressed to middle and high school students, as well as being a teaching assistant for middle school ELA at a charter school. I discovered what a beautiful thing it is to watch students learn and grow and develop into the people they are meant to be, and I decided to continue doing this work because I enjoyed it so much. In my free time, I love to focus on creating wonderful memories with my friends and family and planning vacations.

Hello! My name is Nam. I started tutoring when I was in high school for elementary and middle school subjects. I am very passionate about being a person that my students can go to with any questions that they have. It is very rewarding to me to see that I am able to build their confidence and guide them to success. I have started teaching more virtually and in classrooms after obtaining my undergraduate degree. I have worked with many national tutoring companies as well as after-school programs ranging from elementary to high school. My main goal and focus when it comes to teaching are to be creative and be able to think critically. Outside of tutoring, I love to travel and learn about different cultures around the world.

Hi! My name is Stefan Coty and I am a Cornell University alum from the class of 2020. Graduating with a Bachelor of Science and completing the pre-physician assistant prerequisites has exposed me to various upper-level science-intensive courses. If I learned anything from my 4 years, it’s that the best sign of topic mastery is the ability to reteach the topic to a person unknowing of the topic. I always loved peer-to-peer learning and found myself leading study groups and helping others excel in our courses. It’s a great feeling to witness someone gain confidence and pride in a subject over time to the extent that they are in a position to teach others as well. My goal is to help the student become a teacher and to develop great study habits that they can take with them through their learning careers. When I’m not tutoring, I love to travel around the US and outside of the country.

Hello! My name is Lily. While pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in History & Theory of Architecture at Columbia University, I gained experience teaching the English language online for several years to international students from elementary to university level. I believe that every student is unique, and I strive to connect with each one to create an inspiring environment for reaching individual learning goals. Alongside my academic career, I graduated from the School of American Ballet and danced professionally for the New York City Ballet for two years. I also have experience teaching both private and group ballet classes to children ages 8-12. I am passionate about anything creative and active and love exploring new places and cultures across the world.

Hi I'm Kenny, I went to Archbishop Molloy High School and graduated from St. John's University. I was enrolled in the school of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a Four year Undergraduate Physics Major. As a Physics Major I have an unyielding appreciation for Mathematics as they go hand in hand with one another. It is basically the language used to interpret Physics and is like second nature to me. I understand that this may not be the case for everyone and that Math can be very challenging and rigorous. I wish to help such students realize that Math isn't as intimidating as it may seem, because sometimes all you might need is a change in perspective and try to see things a little differently. I have taken many math courses over the years such as Calculus 1 to 4, Math for Physical Sciences and Ordinary Differential Equations with my Math GPA totaling to a 3.92, so I'm very familiar with the course material. I have +7 years of experience in tutoring algebra 1 through Calculus and have tutored from middle school to adults. I just wish to help students who are struggling with Math and in doing so hopefully give them a higher appreciation for the subject.

Hello! My name is Hana and I'm a writer and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. I love helping students locate their unique voice to support them in developing creative, expansive, and critical relationships to writing. After receiving my B.A. in English from Barnard College of Columbia University, I worked for two years at Barnard's Center for Engaged Pedagogy, where I created curricula to support best practices in teaching and learning for students and professors alike. Throughout my five years of part-time teaching experience, I've taught essay writing, supported students in writing applications for undergraduate and graduate school, edited creative writing pieces, and helped prepare work for publication. Although I have mostly taught undergraduates, I have 10+ years of childcare experience and I deeply value working with students of all ages. Whether I'm working with a ten-year-old or a twenty-year-old, I value a student-centered approach that allows each individual to expand their love for learning.

Educational Background:
Teaching Experience:
Hi, my name is Anna!
I have a double BA in Music Performance and Poetry from CUNY Brooklyn College and an MFA in Fiction from Columbia University. I have been teaching English, writing, grammar, phonics, and math-- as well as preparing students for SHSAT, ISEE, SAT, and state tests-- since 2013. Over the last two summers, I have taught at TUMO Center for Creative Technologies in Yerevan, Armenia, and led seminars at Columbia's High School Program.
Throughout my teaching practice, I have developed a core philosophy that it's an instructor's responsibility to identify and draw awareness to the unique strengths of each student. Mutual inspiration and trust between student and teacher, as well as sensitivity and flexibility, is essential to helping young people learn.
I'm a teaching artist who is also a writer of poetry, fiction, and personal essays: thus, my areas of expertise are essay composition, literature analysis and creative writing. In my free time, I enjoy reading, baking, and going on long walks in the park with my oversized chihuahua. I'm looking forward to meeting you and working together!

Hello! My name is Kasey B, and I am a driven New York-based creative inspired by the motivation to connect with different communities, cultures, and walks of life through a passion for storytelling. I am looking forward to working with your child to hone their own individual passion for the intersectionalities between literary humanities and arts education.
By day, I am an investigative entertainment reporter with The U.S. Sun and write performance reviews with The Ballet Herald. By night, I am the founder of Project III (People's Performance Project), a non-profit arts initiative dedicated to pushing the boundaries on what defines the concept of movement-based performance. You can also find my fiction published in The Foundationalist and Prospectus Literary Journal.
I was previously a professional ballet dancer and spent four years teaching as an assistant at American Ballet Theatre working with children ages 3-18. I have coached multiple high school and post-graduate students on their college application essays and have had several clients admitted to Columbia University and other top programs. While at Columbia University, I was an editor of Grey Matters, a neuroscience magazine that worked with graduate-level researchers to write narratives that were fun and engaging for high school-level audiences.
I graduated from Columbia University, Columbia College as a Core Scholar and on the Dean's List with a BA in English, Class of 2021. I am looking forward to learning with your child: I always return to my passion for teaching children because I am always humbled by how much I learn from them.
