We have a well-deserved reputation for doing a superb job with test prep. That’s because our approach to test prep is based on solid educational practice. We administer an assessment exam, identify what your child needs to learn, and teach him or her those skills. That's the difference between us and other top tutoring companies -- we don't just prep for the test. We teach until the child understands. For now and forever.
All of our lessons are private. They are much more effective than group classes because children have different skills sets and learn—and retain material—at different rates. We offer lessons for…
State testing. One hundred percent of the third and fourth grade children enrolled with us scored at the proficient, or advanced level during the first year the Common Core tests were administered. 100 percent! We had those results in a year when only 30 percent of New York City children passed the tests. We continue to have outstanding results, with the vast majority of our students scoring proficient or advanced, year after year.
SHSAT. Consistently, most of our students make the Stuyvesant cutoff. Not all of them rank Stuyvesant as their first choice and, so, while we have many students at Stuyvesant, we also have students thriving at other specialized high schools such as Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, and the High School for Math Science and Engineering.

ISEE for private school admission. Many children in public school have not yet learned many of the topics and skills tested on the ISEE. We start with an assessment that identifies what your child needs to learn, teach it to them, and watch their scores soar. The vast majority of our students get into one of their top choices for middle school and high school.
SAT and ACT. The SAT and ACT are based on topics and skills your child should have learned in school but may have missed or not been taught. (This is especially true for grammar and math.) Once these missed areas are identified, we teach kids what they need to learn and rejoice with them as they see a significant improvement in their scores.
