Who We Are
Wendy Salomon
Executive Director
In 2008, Wendy Salomon began tutoring equestrian students year-round in all the humanities through AP and college levels plus lower levels in math, science, and Spanish. In 2014, Wendy launched Signature Academics with a mission to provide exceptional academics for students and families for whom education and academic integrity are always the top priority. In addition to ensuring that students learn and achieve academically in all their subjects, Wendy and her team coordinate the details of curriculum, assignments, and exams with students’ full-time schools and develop custom programs as needed, including seasonal, one-to-one accredited school. Signature One-to-One School, then known as Wellington Preparatory School One-to-One Academy, launched in 2015, offering full-time, part-time, and seasonal accredited private school with one-on-one teaching.
An avid equestrian herself, Wendy is dedicated to ensuring that students excel in the classroom and in the show ring, without having to choose one over the other. Wendy holds an M.B.A. from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and a B.A. in History of Art and Architecture from Brown University. She also completed a summer semester course at the Voyageur Outward Bound School in Minnesota.
Wendy’s past experience includes roles as Vice President, Account Management at LinkShare Corporation, an Internet marketing company in New York City. Before LinkShare, Wendy worked at MTV Consumer Products, at an advertising agency with clients like Procter & Gamble, and at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
