ZM was both an inspiration and an awesome teacher to our daughter Sophia. Z helped her navigate a difficult transition to middle school, including learning to manage her time, handle academic pressure, and express her ideas in writing and speech. We miss them tremendously and hope we can work with them again someday!

Hello! I’m Zed Moriarty, an educator with more than a decade of experience helping learners of all backgrounds and skill levels thrive!

Working with me, you can expect that I will thoroughly evaluate each student’s academic history, learning styles, strengths, motivations, and needs to form a cohesive plan for meeting academic goals.  I will also communicate clearly with parents to monitor progress and ensure success.  My goal is to help students become academically independent and develop skills that will enable them to excel in the path of their choosing. 

Students with rigorous academic workloads in advanced humanities courses will develop sophisticated reading techniques, allowing them to engage insightfully with dense course material, research adeptly in a world where information gathering and evaluation is increasingly difficult, and apply their research to writing in ways that deepen their understanding of complex content.

Students struggling with organization will gain strong executive functioning skills, empowering them to take control of their academic life and pursue any challenge they set their minds to.

Students in higher academics will perform competitively on Advanced Placement examinations, earning them college credits and strengthening their appeal to universities.

Students struggling with reading will close grade level gaps in their abilities and excel beyond simply keeping up with the pace of curriculum. 

Students of writing will master idea generation, outlining, drafting and editing, giving them control over their topic and the ability to communicate with nuance and style.
