Chante Orane is a tenured NYC educator born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She holds a BS in Health Science from Mercy College and an MS in Education from St. John’s University. She is entering her 10th year as a middle school educator and has a passion for Science & Literacy ensuring her scholars are prepared for high school, college and career readiness. She is trained in research-based interventions that help both early and struggling readers decode words to build fluency as they build their capacities and identify their strengths as readers. She is a strong believer in building trust to get to know students well, helping students to build confidence to reach their true potential and celebrating success as students achieve their goals. She has worked closely with students ranging from improving literacy, mathematical skills of 1st graders to general academic support and SHSAT prep for middle schoolers to regents preparation for high schoolers. Chante enjoys having conversations with her students about how academics can be relatable to their lives. She is excited to bring her expertise to Brain Trust Tutors and continue to push students to reach their maximum potential! She enjoys exploring all NYC attractions with a good bike ride and walking.
