This review is long overdue. Last year my cousin had been in…read moredesperate need of a New York SAT tutor for her son. She had gone through a few tutors within the city however her son's practice scores were still hovering around the same average score. Since I am closer in age to her son, and well versed with many different testing centers- considering I've taken the SAT, ACT and the DAT (for dental school) as well as NBDE I,II (both for dental)- she asked me to help her find one that could help her son's learning style out. After some research and conversations with her son, I realized he needed more one on one tutoring rather than the online and classroom modules other companies utilize. With some good google searching I found tutor me NY and they were really personable and straight forward. The personal one on one touch was what my cousin's son needed and his scores greatly improved. Tutoring can be a tricky thing to find the right fit since its not a "one size fits all" type of service. My cousin was really happy with the results and I was really happy that they were easy to find, contact and get set up with. Would definitely recommend for SAT prep!

Luckily for us, money was not a main factor in deciding the best tutor, however, we were more concerned with finding one that was really experienced. We hired multiple companies that were supposedly "highly rated" and charged an arm and a leg but found the the tutor did not fit what we were looking for. Low and behold, a friend recommended Tutor Me NY and after seeing there great reviews online, I immediately decided to give them a call. Tutor Me Ny was fantastic from the get go. From explaining things, to not pressuring me, and even making sure that the tutor was to our standards - the whole experience was perfect. The tutor we were matched with was a Columbia graduate and she was able to work with both children back to back. She even met with one of them at a coffee shop in Manhattan which was extremely convenient. It has since been a few months and my nieces have both received their scores back and they did extremely well. In fact they are now working with another tutor for college apps and statistics. Overall very pleased with the service and felt compelled to share my experience with the world! Out of all the companies and tutors we tried, Tutor Me NY had the best tutor in New York!

With a combination of a horrible professor and sup par math skills, I thought I was going fail regardless of what I did. I worked with Matt once a week for the rest of the semester. He was very patient and clear in his explanations. I passed my first test a few weeks after working with him! I really liked how he was able to come up with his own practice problems too. I am happy to report that I received a B+ in that class (again, after failing 3 quizzes and the first test!) I definitely could not have done that without him.

I cannot recommend them highly enough. Going back to high school, I had a terrific experience working with Advantage on my college entrance exams. Even though I hated studying in school, I genuinely enjoyed working with AT's teachers. Aside from being gifted instructors, they are some of the friendliest people you'll meet, and they seem to genuinely care about their students. I remember they customized a study plan for me, focusing on the areas of the test that I needed to improve the most. Following their plan, and using the strategies I learned in class, I earned a 760 Verbal, 750 Math I, 790 Writing, and an 800 Math II, all a significant boost above my diagnostic scores (which I recall being in the low ~600 range). Years later, when I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer, and began looking for the right LSAT test prep service, turning to Advantage was a no-brainer. On my first LSAT practice test, I received a diagnostic evaluation in the 55th percentile. I knew that I would need a significant (aka Elle Woods-level) jump in my LSAT score to have a decent shot at the top schools. That's when Advantage came in. Studying with Advantage tutors, you learn to break down each section of the test into a set of consistent techniques, which you hone and solidify over repeated practice tests. After months of test prep, I took the LSAT and scored a 99th percentile on the official exam. Equipped with a great LSAT score, I was admitted to my top choice for law school, a feat that had seemed impossible only a few months prior. Now, as a practicing attorney looking back on it, I am certain I would not have been nearly as well prepared with any other test prep service. In sum, I don't think there is anyone as professional or effective as Advantage when it comes to the hard work of preparing for high-stakes entrance exams. I recommend them without hesitation.

I am so grateful to have found Brian and to have had numerous intensive lessons with him before the exam. I have been teaching for a long time myself, and I can say first hand that Brian is an amazing teacher. Not only was he attentive to my specific mathematical needs, I could also tell he was very invested in wanting me to do well. Brian never made me feel like anything was too difficult or unattainable. He explained all my questions in depth and was always very concerned with making sure I understood everything. Even if that meant going over it again...and again. Brian helped me make diagrams for a statistics research project I was working on as part of my degree in Psychology. I was later asked to present that project at a honors convention my college was hosting. I am sure that his elaborate graphs/diagrams and extensive knowledge in statistics which he imparted contributed to that. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, fluent in every math concept known to man, enthusiastic, patient, efficient, eloquent and kind tutor--look no further. Brian was so instrumental to my success on the GREs and in boosting my confidence. I never thought I would be able to comprehend half the concepts I did. I strongly recommend Elite Ivy Tutors and Brian if you are looking to invest in a tutor. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job.

Well, the short answer is, look no further. You have found them right here. I hesitated for quite a while to find a tutor for my daughter. She is a great student but lacked confidence in math. Starting her freshman year at an academically challenging high school on Zoom was finally what pushed me to seek outside help. She was doing well but still felt like she didn't really "get it". I was looking for the lightbulb to switch on and Alexander Tutoring is doing just that. They believe, as I do, that math is doable and is not impossible. The key is confidence. They believe there is often a "moment" where a normally confident kid suddenly feels like they "can't do math". A bad grade, a bad teacher, and an embarrassing moment. They work to undo that in a supportive, constructive environment. They are well priced, extremely flexible, and have a large enough staff so your kid can find the tutor with whom they jive. They have been doing remote before the pandemic and have it down to a science. And it's one on one tutoring. We love this program and am so happy we found them!
