M

aureen McGovern has always loved a good successful career story. It’s the journey that has always fascinated her not the destination. As a former HR executive, she has spent the last 25 years studying and assisting many successful career journeys. A common thread from all these stories was strong counseling, proper guidance, and solid preparation.

Five years ago she was presented with the opportunity to invest in an academic tutoring service located in Millburn, NJ. What better way to help people start their journeys then by giving them academic success and the self-confidence that comes from personal achievement! As her client’s journeys take shape so do Maureen’s. This fall she will be partnering her academic tutoring company, renamed Academic Journeys, with her new venture Career Journeys which will provide clients with a range of counseling, guidance and preparation options for success from elementary school through adulthood.

Academic Journeys specialty is assessing where your student’s needs lie and bringing guidance to those needs with proper preparation in order to give them that added edge and confidence needed to achieve success. Services offered range from test prep for private school and college admission, college essay guidance, subject matter tutoring, effective organizational and study practices and skill development such as fluency in writing, reading and mathematics.

Maureen approaches her tutoring clients with time and dedication, collecting their stories and using them to help others make a successful journey. Sitting down with Maureen is like sharing a cup of coffee with the mom across the street.

Through her client interactions she has that “been there, done that” knowledge to ease many of our anxieties and fears we share about our children. “What entrance exam is right for my child, ACT or SAT? How can I prepare for the new SAT

when no one has taken it yet? How will the new ACT essay affect my child? What is the format of the new PSAT and how can I help my child prepare?” All these questions and more are the topics Maureen spends her day counseling parents on and providing them with unique solutions for their child’s journey.

Academic Journeys employs tutors with the same care and concern they put into each student. Maureen requires that all tutors have at least a Master’s degree and seeks tutors who have experience adapting curricula to students with different learning styles and abilities. She sees her tutors as master teachers - professionals comfortable crafting a unique approach for each student they counsel. The best tutor for your child is the one who understands your child’s needs and is willing to do what it takes to meet them.

With a long list of clients, Maureen has been able to bring academic success to many students with a growing array of different needs and abilities. Starting out on the right foot can help foster your child’s confidence and performance that will last throughout all their journeys. Choosing Academic Journeys to assist is the obvious choice.

To contact Maureen at Academic Journeys call 973.564.5220 or email her at Maureen@AcademicJourneys.us

Berkeley Heights Urgent Care Center Celebrates Renovation with Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony eMedical Urgent Care celebrated the completion of its recent $500,000 renovation June 11 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and evening reception.

“This project began about two years ago when we were faced with a decision – move the practice to a newer, more modern space, or work with the landlord to renovate the current space,” explained John Bertolini, MD, chief executive officer of Emergency Medical Associates, the parent company of eMedical Urgent Care. “After nearly 30 years in this location, you can imagine that this decision wasn’t an easy one! We chose to stay here in Berkeley Heights and continue serving the residents of Union County.”

The urgent care center invited local businesses, physicians, lawmakers and vendors to share in the celebration.

Jeanne Kingsley, borough council president, and Joe Steiner, president of the Suburban Chamber of Commerce,
