About

Capital Region Tutoring was started to provide the assistance students need at prices they and their families can afford.  There is no question that everyone comes from different walks of life, and that everyone's situation is different.  Unfortunately, sometimes this means that students, often children, do not get the specific help and attention they need and deserve.  Our aim is to provide this assistance through quality tutoring.  Special, lower rates are always available for those who cannot afford to pay high prices.   Additionally, at certain times throughout the year FREE tutoring is available at local public libraries.

The Founder

Capital Region tutoring was started by Steven Calebrese in the Summer of 2013.  Steven is a NYS Certified Teacher, and holds his M.A. in Adolescent Education from Union Graduate College.  In addition, Steven earned his Master of Science in Materials Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  He has been a private tutor for over 5 years, helping students at both the undergraduate and high school level.  As a teacher, Steven is passionate about his subjects and his students.  His enthusiasm helps promote an engaged learning environment that keeps students focused and interested about the subject at hand.


Reviews

"I hired Steve to tutor my child in 8th grade math and then, a year later, another child in 9th grade math. I would hire him again in a heartbeat if the kids needed more tutoring. They both showed significant improvement, one in the short term and the other over time. Steve has the ability to engage the kids in an effective manner, he is dedicated and works hard to understand the issues that need to be addressed based on the particular child's needs."

"Steven has done a great job with my daughter in a short period working with her on Applied Statics and Strength of Materials. He was very flexible with his schedule and patient in working thru her study needs. My daughter was comfortable working with Steven."

"Steven was a great calculus tutor. He was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and patient with my concerns. I was having particular difficulty with a certain section of Calculus BC and Steven was able to essentially teach me the material. I will definitely use Steven again."
