EleMental Learning, LLC was founded by Lori J. Skurka, M. Ed. for the purpose of providing fully customized, one-on-one professional tutoring.  A core belief of the company is that pre-packaged tutoring programs touted by name brand “learning centers” cannot possibly have the flexibility to provide a perfect tutoring solution for each student’s unique needs and learning habits. 

Since 2005, we have provided carefully selected high quality tutors to families throughout New York, Connecticut, Illinois, and California.  As our company has grown, so has the depth and breadth of our tutor base.  At this time we have several hundred state-certified teachers who have signed up to be tutors, providing a broad coverage of geographic, age group, subject matter, and special needs ranges.
