The Green Tomato Difference

Emma Poli created The Green Tomato when her tutoring practice became increasingly sought after with its unique and creative style.

Welcome to The Green Tomato tutoring; we work within the Hamptons (Sagaponack, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Amagansett Montauk) in Miami, Palm Beach, Los Angeles, and through Zoom. Education is not just a process but a personalized journey crafted to unlock every student's potential. Emma, a visionary educator who left the traditional system to create something extraordinary, is at the heart of our success.

Driven by a passion for student success, Emma ventured beyond the conventional and developed an NYS Regents-approved homeschool program. This program isn't just approved; it's embraced by students and parents alike, showcasing results that speak volumes. Emma's teaching style is a blend of innovation, creativity, and hands-on approaches that resonate with her students.

Emma consistently achieves exceptional results without compromising on the joy of learning. Her approach is not only effective but also immensely popular among students. By infusing fun, creativity, and tactile-based teaching methodologies, Emma has created an environment where learning is not just a task but an enjoyable exploration.

Emma's expertise extends to ensuring a seamless transition for middle school students entering high school. Her exam coaching techniques have proven invaluable, preparing students for the challenges and setting them on a path to success.

The Green Tomato stands out for its commitment to individualized learning. We go beyond traditional tutoring by assessing potential learning disabilities and offering tools like Executive Function Coaching. Emma has assembled a team of expert tutors who understand children's psychological and emotional needs, bringing humor and dedication to their work.

Our commitment to holistic education includes providing Neuropsychological Testing referrals as needed. Early identification and remediation of potential issues are crucial, and we ensure that children receive the support they require at every stage of their development.

The Green Tomato adheres to New York State Common Core Standards, preparing students for standardized tests such as the ECAA, ERB, CTP, and ISEE. Our goal is not just academic achievement but the holistic development of each child.

Today, The Green Tomato is more than an educational institution; it's a vital resource for parents. We understand the importance of a tailored, supportive approach to education, and we are here to guide your child's journey to success.

The Green Tomato is considered an invaluable resource to parents.

Her encouragement, liveliness, patience and care has had a significant positive impact across all academics in just few months. Our son genuinely enjoys and looks forward to learning from Emma. We see and hear improvement in his Spanish and an increase in overall confidence after each session. We are so grateful to have Emma on our team.
