Introduction: At Rainbow EDU Consuting & Tutoring, we believe that celebrating individuality and developing clarity of purpose for achieving academic excellence are paramount to success. We know, through our own research and an in-depth understanding of child development and educational processes, that education is no longer about fitting pegs of all shapes into square holes. Unfortunately, traditional schooling systems prioritize standardization, conformity, and extrinsic motivation, which often marginalizes some of our communities' brightest young minds. Rainbow EDU's team of co-educators work on students from the inside out, identifying students' points of passion in order to cultivate internal inspiration and intrinsic fulfillment for learning. When education is approached holistically, and all aspects of a student's socialization, optimal learning style, personal interests, and formal educational processes work in harmony to reinforce one another, students not only achieve higher levels of academic success, but also their sense of purpose in life and self-esteem strengthen dramatically. Founded 15 years ago by Cindy Chanin, Rainbow EDU is equipped to tutor all academic subjects from elementary through college level and beyond. Our multifaceted approach to academic tutoring and mentoring, grounded in inspiration, self-awareness, leadership development, service learning, health and wellness, and teen life coaching, has led our students to gain admission to top universities including Harvard, Yale, UCLA, Oxford, Juilliard and Stanford, as well as National Merit recognition and many perfect and near-perfect SAT and ACT scores. Rainbow EDU also counsels families through the independent schools admissions process as well as offers innovative workshops on college campuses and prepares grad-school-bound students for rigorous exams such as the GRE, LSAT, MCAT, and GMAT. The Rainbow EDU family prides itself in nurturing and valuing the entire spectrum of learning identities and every hue of possibility in between. What We Tutor Rainbow EDU is well-versed in all levels of math and science, writing/composition/grammar, literature analysis, social studies, art history, Spanish, French, AP/honors classes, ISEE/HSPT and SAT/ACT/LSAT/MCAT/GRE prep, personal statement essays, college and grad school application prep, homeschooling curriculum and enrichment, organization, study skills and test-taking strategies. About Cindy Chanin Over the past 15 years, Cindy Chanin has personally and extensively tutored virtually every subject. Her full-spectrum tutoring abilities run the gamut from honors chemistry to trig/pre-calculus to American/European history, literature analysis, creative writing, and Spanish, college application preparation and expert college admissions exam preparation. In addition to tutoring several students to perfect 2400's on their SATs, she has also helped many students gain admission to top universities including Stanford, Yale, Brown, Northwestern, USC, Oxford, Julliard, NYU, among others. Many of her students, their families, and the schools she works with refer to Cindy as "the miracle worker." From providing educational enrichment to an intellectually gifted 4-year-old to working with an individual who has dyslexia on her dissertation for a doctorate degree in psychology, Cindy has celebrated her gift of making education a positive, holistic experience. Cindy specializes in working with adolescents of varying skill levels (middle school through college level). Cindy also has an extensive background in mentoring teens and young adults. From field trips to the Getty, LACMA, and Huntington Gardens to one-on-one parallel parking/freeway driving lessons, Cindy helps each student connect assignments to real-life situations. She has coached college-bound seniors for their monologue and musical theater auditions for NYU's Tisch School and accompanied them on "power vocabulary building" hikes around the city as well as to yoga classes. Education and Certifications While working toward multiple degrees at Yale University and the University of Southern California (USC), Cindy studied psychology, theater, mathematics, and comparative literature. She is Phi Beta Kappa as well as an Irlen Syndrome certified screener for students who have learning differences, visual processing, and/or ADD. About our Co-Educators Rainbow EDU believes in inspiring students to grow through education. We give students the gift of working one-on-one with educators that come from a place of breadth, humor and compassion. Each educator has a wealth of knowledge, experience and intuition that he or she draws from when it comes to working with young adults and enabling them to make connections between what they are learning and what matters to them in the long run. A Note From Cindy I strive to cultivate a lifelong appreciation for learning by making a clear connection between what a student is learning on both an academic and personal level with his or her future goals and aspirations. I understand that there are many different facets of intelligence as well as learning orientations. I adapt to each individual's needs and help my students bolster their confidence and utilize their strengths so that they can transform what might seem like an obstacle into an opportunity for growth and fulfillment. I am very passionate about inspiring others to know themselves and then to thine own selves be true. I feel blessed to do this work, as I believe that it is all about working for the joy and finding joy in the work. "I am a part of all that I have met; yet experience is an arch where through gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades forever and forever when I move." -- Alfred Tennyson, Ulysses
