The Traveling Tutor

Sherri Pranzo has a long history of helping others learn. As early as middle school in Weston, Connecticut, she would take meticulous notes for her fellow students with disabilities. Throughout high school, she enjoyed volunteering as a peer tutor. While completing a Bachelor's degree in Biology at The University of Connecticut, she tutored college students as well as high school students in math, science, english and SAT prep. After college, Sherri joined Bios Laboratories of New Haven, CT as a Genetics Research and Production Scientist, where she also mentored high school co-op students, training them in science and laboratory techniques. In 1996, Sherri devoted her energy to her passion for teaching by creating The Traveling Tutor, and she has been working successfully with students at some of the top public and private high schools in Connecticut ever since (Weston, Westport, Greenwich, Fairfield, Guilford, Choate Rosemary, Loomis Chaffee, Miss Porter's, and Kingswood-Oxford). After 17 years in Glastonbury, Sherri now resides in Guilford, CT with her husband and two dogs, where she enjoys hiking, boating, fishing, gardening, drawing, traveling, and learning anything and everything about science.  Volunteering at the Guilford ABC House as an academic advisor and tutor to help young women of color achieve their academic and life goals also brings her tremendous joy.
