Our Team

Leah Wonski

Leah graduated from Trinity College in Connecticut with a degree in Psychology and Education. She was a Presidential Fellow and a Writing Associate with a minor in Italian.  After college, Leah taught English in Japan for a year living in the countryside while traveling to schools in and her around her small seaside town.

A long career in intellectual property licensing, marketing, and e-commerce (while trying to fit in as much tutoring as possible on the side!!) led Leah to realize that she wanted to be working with students full time, so in 2018 she decided to pursue that dream.  Leah is currently a candidate for a Masters in Literacy and Special Education at Bank Street College in NY, and she's a full time teacher at The School at Columbia University in NYC.

Outside of work and teaching Leah loves to travel, teach and practice yoga, and spend time outdoors.  She strives to weave mindfulness into her work with students, helping them to build a growth mindset so that they can accomplish any challenge with pride.
