Please help us welcome three new doctoral-level tutors, who are bringing their wealth of knowledge and experience to our expert team. Aviva Moore, Jaejin Lee, and Grant Strine have worked for decades in schools, therapy, and private tutoring.
Aviva B. Moore, Ed.D.
Aviva has dual-BA degrees in English Literature and environmental studies from Washington University in St. Louis, MA in secondary education from St. Joseph’s University, and EdD in entrepreneurial leadership in education from Johns Hopkins University. Her professional background is in education and camp administration, where she has served in nearly every capacity from tutoring and the classroom, to research and serving on school boards. Aviva is also a serial entrepreneur, having helped open several schools and businesses, with her most recent concierge educational marketplace recently acquired.
She recognizes that learning is inherently difficult as students are repeatedly asked to stretch beyond their comfort zone, revealing a level of vulnerability unique to childhood. Aviva is drawn to working with children whose needs fall outside the mainstream, underscoring the importance of getting to know each individual, and playing to their strengths.
Jaejin Lee, Ph.D.
Dr. Lee is a math and physics teacher. He holds a PhD in physics and worked as a researcher across the multidisciplinary fields of physics, applied mathematics, neuroscience, and data science. Always passionate about teaching mathematics and physics at various levels, he eventually decided to change his career path to become a dedicated educator. He has served as a Director of Education and Center Director—helping students with both academic and behavioral challenges at a private education service—and taught students with learning difficulties as a special education math teacher in public schools. Currently, he teaches advanced mathematics courses at a public high school. Dr. Lee strongly believes in evidence-based learning and brings real-world research experience, motivation, and inspiration to his teaching.
Grant N. Strine, Psy.D.
Grant is a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. He earned his undergraduate degree in Psychology from Princeton University and his doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Widener University. Throughout his career, he has worked with individuals facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges, developing a particular appreciation for helping clients understand themselves and discover strategies that allow them to reach their potential.
As a practicing psychologist, Grant has extensive experience working with concerns that can interfere with learning and day-to-day functioning, including attention difficulties, anxiety, stress, organization, motivation, and self-confidence. His clinical background provides him with a unique perspective on the relationship between emotional well-being, cognitive functioning, and academic performance.
Grant is enthusiastic about bringing his clinical experience to executive functioning tutoring and coaching. He enjoys helping students develop practical skills in organization, planning, time management, prioritization, task initiation, sustained attention, and follow-through. Rather than simply telling students what to do, he works collaboratively with them to understand how they learn best and to develop strategies that are realistic, individualized, and sustainable.
