Unlike many of its neighbors, the community of Greenpoint is relatively new to the Bronx. Known mostly for its diverse food traditions, Greenpoint has drawn many to its restaurants, which offer Asian, Polish, Greek, Italian, and other fare. Leading the way in gentrification efforts in the Bronx, additional businesses have found success in this neighborhood as well, including Word, an independent bookstore that serves the community with distinction and local focus.
Word operates two shops: one in Jersey City and one in Greenpoint. At the Greenpoint store, patrons can find an eclectic mix of books. On their website, they declare that they carry “a lot of paperback fiction (especially classics), cookbooks, board books, and absurdly cute cards and stationery.” Given the demands of the population they serve, paperbacks of this variety, as well as the accompanying writing accessories of stationary, Word is well-stocked to meet the values of Greenpoint.
Further events that garner attention in Greenpoint include classic author reading sessions, with Q&A to follow, as well as potlucks and book clubs. They even run a basketball league to encourage community involvement and success for this small, independent bookstore—only 1000 square feet, to be precise!
Encouraging literacy rates in a world of digital media is an uphill battle for many people invested in books. Word operates in the face of declining literacy, and works with its customers to provide them with whatever they need, including digital editions of their books, as well as traditional paperback and hardcover. They will even order a book not currently in stock if it means customers purchase it from them. It’s a friendly, encouraging, and community-based space to discover the joys of reading. And why does Word operate in this manner? According to their FAQ page it’s “because books are the repository of all that is good in this world, and we love them, and we love you.” How true that is!
Like the enthusiastic employees at Word, Grade Potential tutors in Greenpoint love their jobs and love their clients. Word seeks to empower their clientele by aiding literacy rates, and tutors seek to empower their students by encouraging them to employ effective study habits and turn bad grades around with their careful help. Trained and ready to aid students achieve academic success, tutors come with an excellent balance of friendliness and professionalism, which means renewed self-confidence for each of the struggling students they work with day by day.

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.
In-person at home or another convenient, quiet, safe location (like the local library). When families need flexibility, online sessions are also available.
Experienced, professional independent tutors with strong subject knowledge and a track record of working one-on-one with students. Many hold degrees in their fields; some are certified teachers or graduate students with specialized expertise.
Yes—safety is our top priority. Tutors complete screening through Simpliverified background checks, consistent with local requirements and platform standards.
Just let Grade Potential know. Your profile can be introduced to a different tutor at no cost to you, and once accepted, you’ll be re-introduced so sessions continue without losing momentum.
Support spans elementary through college across all core subjects (math, reading, writing, science, languages) plus test prep (e.g., SAT/ACT, AP, GRE) and many electives.
