About Red Wagon Tutors

Terri Cohen, Reading Specialist

EDUCATION: Completed 30 credits above master's degree.

MA Teaching Reading, Fordham University

BS Elementary Education, Boston University

At Red Wagon Tutors, I work one-on-one with struggling students in Grades K-3. I have helped students who were 2 to 3 years behind in their reading catch up to – and in some cases surpass – their peers. I also enjoy helping gifted students challenge themselves.

Before starting Red Wagon Tutors, I taught 2nd and 3rd grade for over 10 years at PS 20 in Manhattan, and was a NYC DOE Reading Intervention Specialist at various public schools for over 15 years.

I am based in New York City and can help your student develop a plan for success and a new love for reading! Call 646-303-4433 to get started.

— Heather Kim, Parent

"Terri worked with my son over the summer and the improvement was incredible. He started 2nd grade reading at grade level for the first time. She is patient, encouraging, and really knows how to reach kids who struggle with reading."

— Hastings, NY Parent

"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Terri Cohen. When we first came to her, our son was significantly behind his peers in reading and was becoming increasingly frustrated and discouraged. Within just a few months of working with Terri, we saw a dramatic turnaround. Terri has an extraordinary ability to identify exactly where a child is struggling and to tailor her approach to meet that child's specific needs. She is endlessly patient, warm, and encouraging — and our son genuinely looks forward to his sessions with her. Thanks to Terri, our son is now reading at grade level and has developed a real love of books. We are so grateful for everything she has done for him and for our family."

— Rivertowns, NY Parent
