About Lisa Bowstead
I love my job! The key to a successful education is a student who enjoys their schooling…
Experience
Owner
Mar 2012 — Present
I established the Cobble Hill Think Tank to be different from other tutoring centers. We provide personalized academic support for students in a comfortable and supportive in-person space. We employ experienced classroom teachers with experience with 1-on-1 work, disability services and sensitivity to each student\'s sense of identity. We also have a few like-minded test-prep specialists to coach students with the specific skills for high stakes tests. Our approach is student specific: whether in our small classes or in individual instruction, we work with each student\'s strengths, weaknesses and goals. This is in direct contrast to the regimented, canned curricula typically used by tutoring franchises (such as Kaplan, Kumon, Huntington or Sylvan). Because we have such a diverse team, we can provide instruction in all subjects to all ages. Our students know that we will support them through high school and beyond. We also provide support and advocacy for our students. This includes those with disabilities or medical accommodations (IEP, 504 and not-yet documented), students who are English language learners, as well as students with personal struggles or social justice concerns. I teach Math (up to grade 10), Test Prep and Organizational Skills. As owner of the business, I also hire and guide my staff, lead all marketing and outreach efforts, and manage the day-to-day finances. I also attend IEP and other school meetings with families, as an interpreter, mediator and advocate.
