As first marking period grades come home and midterms approach this fall and winter of the 2026-27 school year, Morris County families looking for personalized academic help do not always need another drive across town. Nieves Educational Group offers live, one-on-one virtual tutoring and advising for learners of all ages, led by founder Stephanie Nieves, Ed.D. We sat down with Stephanie to hear how the group got started, what it offers this season, and how Morris County families can get connected.
The story behind Nieves Educational Group
Stephanie founded Nieves Educational Group out of a lifelong commitment to education and a belief that every student deserves high-quality, individualized support. After more than 16 years as a teacher, vice principal and principal, she saw that many students need more than traditional classroom instruction to reach their potential.
For more than a decade, she has also focused on first-generation students and families navigating educational access and the college admissions process. That work shaped the group’s mission: unlock potential, expand opportunities and transform futures through education. Today, Stephanie describes Nieves Educational Group as a network of more than 50 educators serving learners across ages, backgrounds and academic needs.
Virtual services for every stage of learning
All instruction is live, one-on-one and virtual, led by certified teachers and tailored to each learner’s needs, learning style and goals. The group works with elementary, middle and high school students, college students, adult learners and homeschool families. Services include:
- K-12 academic tutoring in math, English language arts, reading, writing, science, social studies, Spanish and other subjects, for both remedial and enrichment support
- Homeschool academic support, including personalized instruction, supplemental coursework and enrichment
- College-level academic support for undergraduate and other college coursework
- Standardized test preparation for the SAT, ACT, PSAT, HSPT, COOP, ISEE, SSAT, Bergen County Academies entrance exams, state assessments and GED
- High school admissions preparation for competitive schools, including Bergen County Academies and Bergen County Technical Schools
- College admissions advising, from college list development and application strategy to personal statements, supplemental essays and scholarships
- Executive functioning support for organization, time management, study strategies, note-taking and academic accountability
- Adult education, including ESL, reading, writing, language development and GED preparation
Spanish-language support is available as well, which helps the team connect with a wider range of families.
What makes the approach different
Stephanie says the group stands apart through individualized instruction, depth of educational expertise and a focus on the whole learner. As a former teacher and school administrator, she brings perspective from classroom instruction, curriculum, assessment, student development and family engagement. The team’s size also helps match families with educators whose expertise fits each learner.
Family involvement and consistent communication are built into the model. The goal, Stephanie told us, is for students to become confident, independent learners who recognize their abilities and take ownership of their success.
Outcomes Stephanie shares
Stephanie is especially proud of the work with first-generation students and families through the college admissions process. She also shared outcome figures for the applicants and seniors her team supports. According to Stephanie, Nieves Educational Group has a 90% or higher acceptance rate among the students it supports applying to Bergen County Academies and Bergen County Technical Schools, and a 90% or higher college acceptance rate among the high school seniors it advises.
Families can find testimonials and reviews on the group’s Facebook page and Google Business profile.
How one-on-one sessions fit fall and winter
First marking period feedback is already in for many students, and midterms are ahead. Winter break can also be a useful stretch to catch up or get ahead before the spring semester. Stephanie says her live, one-on-one virtual sessions are built for that kind of timing. Families can use customized tutoring and enrichment across subjects, SAT and ACT preparation, competitive high school entrance exam support, college admissions advising, and executive functioning help with organization, time management and study habits. For younger students, she encourages early support and enrichment rather than waiting until challenges get harder to address. Adult learners seeking ESL, GED preparation and language support are welcome too.
