Learn About Resource Room Learning Center

Resource Room Learning Center was founded by a husband and wife team who are both career educators. Joe and Sam met while teaching together at the High School of Art and Design in midtown Manhattan. As time went by, their classroom experience led them to recognize the need for professional tutoring services that would focus on the needs of each student and SPECIFICALLY target the work they were doing in their respective classrooms. Resource Room instructors do not follow a “cookie-cutter” approach. Our students never sit in front of a predetermined set of worksheets that may or may not have anything to do with their daily classroom instruction. This, unfortunately, is the case with many other tutoring centers. The first question a tutoring client will be asked when sitting down with a Resource Room Learning Center tutor is, “What did you do today in school, and what do you have for homework?”

Resource Room Learning Center started with one small room on a busy Staten Island street. Within one year that one room turned into two. Within 5 years Resource Room had 3 locations serving the Staten Island community….then COVID. With businesses shuttered for six months, and schools mostly remote – the business model changed. When Joe and Sam followed some family members down to Holly Springs, NC – they immediately fell in love with the community. Determined to resume in-person education, Joe and Sam opened Resource Room Learning Center Holly Springs in October of 2021. Today, they remain focused on delivering the same high quality instruction that made them a household name in their former town. With an extreme emphasis on in-person, face-to-face instruction – The Resource Room Learning Center will continue its mission to educate students of all ages and help them achieve their academic goals.
