STEP 3Today’s Flatlands is mostly a residential community, but it wasn’t always that way. The Dutch established it as a farming community as early as 1636, when two Dutchmen bought 15,000 acres of land to grow crops, potentially including corn, squash, potato bean, marsh hay, beans, and tobacco. The community kept its agricultural flavor for several centuries, even into the twentieth century, when a man named Murray Weiss started a unique business: eggs directly from the chicken to the consumer.
Weiss, who named his farm Weiss-Way Egg Farm, learned that poultry producers earned slim profits because of all the middlemen, wholesalers, retailers, and brokers involved. A graduate of New Jersey State Agricultural School and a former farmer, Weiss decided to shake up the existing system and establish an indoor poultry farm. He bought a building on Fairfield Avenue, which today is Flatlands Avenue, and built individual cubbies. He bought 600 hens, posted a huge sign that said, “Eggs Laid While You Wait,” and waited to see what would happen.
As expected, the sign drew unbelievers, who couldn’t believe they’d be able to buy eggs so fresh. But Weiss’s vision worked, and customers raved about the quality of the eggs. Weiss had to expand his plant several times to keep up with demand. At its peak, the building housed 3,500 leghorn chickens who laid 130 dozen eggs each day, all sold directly to consumers.
Weiss raised baby chicks in his own hatchery, immunizing them at three months old against fowl pox and bronchitis. At the age of 5-1/2 months, each one was transferred to a cubicle and given a chart to record production. If a hen failed to lay 175 eggs in her first year, she was sold at the city markets for meat. Hens with healthy egg productions typically dropped their production in the second year and again in the third. At that point, the hen would be sold for meat.
The secret to the high egg quality was the way the chickens were treated. Weiss could keep a close eye on his chickens because of the way the facility was laid out: three layers of one hundred cages each, with only one chicken per cage.
Weiss also learned that eggs were fresher if they immediately rolled down a chute into a cooling basket. This was a big advantage to raising chickens indoors, because outdoor chickens tended to sit on their eggs and keep them warm for a long time, he learned.
Weiss used his knowledge of husbandry and science to test his ideas about maximizing egg production and passed his knowledge down to his assistant. In the same way, Flatlands tutors can pass their knowledge down to local students, helping them with time management and processes for studying. Hiring a Flatlands tutor is a great way for students to get ahead in school.
"We are extremely happy with her and how she's engaged with our kiddos, getting them to progress well with their studies. She is an answer to our prayers! We are all very happy with her and she's not too hard on them, and has a great reward system that allows her to be flexible with what they need to work with them on. She's very punctual and flexible! She is able to reach them in a way that we haven't been able to."

"We loved our former experience with our tutor for our high schooler so much that we wanted to get tutoring for our elementary schooler.

We saw how great of a positive impact it was for our older son that when our elementary schooler started to need some support, we knew exactly who to call."
"My daughter says James has been phenomenal! He has been very accommodating to our schedule, is very respectful of our home, and my daughter went from an F to a B! My daughter said she has learned more from the tutor in the sessions she has had with him, than she ever has with her professor!"

Families share goals and scheduling preferences through a short intake. That information becomes a learner profile. Grade Potential then introduces your profile to a professional independent tutor whose background aligns. Once the tutor accepts, you’re introduced directly and sessions can begin.
Our packages are highly customizable based on your budget, preferred session cadence, time frame, location, and a few other factors. You’ll be presented with clear pricing before you begin. We support families in choosing the session length and cadence that works best for their individual situation; no hard sales tactics and no obligation to purchase a long-term package.
Typically within 2-3 business days, depending on subject, location, and schedule availability. Urgent timelines are noted in your profile so introductions prioritize your timing.
