All of the City Smarts tutors were excellent -- not just in their expertise and knowledge of the tests, but in connecting with our kids on many levels -- including emotionally and academically. City Smarts takes great care in pairing the right tutor with your child. These tutors were somehow able to inspire our kids to study and do practice tests, on top of an already-demanding school workload. With City Smarts' help, our kids never lost sight of the fact that these tests are just one tool among many in the high school application process. Their whole approach is level-headed and holistic, and they managed to reduce the stress and insanity that the NYC school-search can engender. Separate from their tutoring services, I also recommend their individual consulting in your search for the best schools (private and/or public) for your child. It's not cheap but we found it was money well-spent. They take a real interest in learning about your child and figuring out what will best serve him/her/them. We've sent many friends to City Smarts and they've all been so impressed with their tutors and their kids have all gone on to great schools where they're thriving. We highly recommend City Smarts!

City Smarts came in with patience, grace and talent to help get her back on track. They were collaborative with her teachers as well as flexible with our schedule.

While they are known for their ability to help kids with striving for new heights of achievement, they are just as capable and wonderful with getting kids back on track. Thank you to the City Smarts team!

She is highly knowledgeable, organized, and exceptionally skilled at identifying areas for improvement while building confidence. Each session was engaging, productive, and tailored to my children's individual needs. Bareena has a remarkable ability to know when to push students to reach their potential and when to step back and let them build confidence on their own. Most importantly, both of my children felt well-prepared and significantly more confident going into their exams. I highly recommend Bareena to anyone looking for outstanding SAT or ACT preparation.

We worked with Bareena to help my son prepare for the ACT, and the results exceeded our…read moreexpectations. He improved his score by 4 points. Beyond the results, what stood out most was how much he genuinely enjoyed the sessions. Bareena took the time to understand how he learns best and tailored her approach accordingly, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method. That personalized attention made a real difference in both his confidence and his performance. We'd highly recommend her to any family looking for a tutor who combines real results with a teaching style that actually clicks with their student.

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!

I worked with my son last summer (2020) to help him prepare for the SHSAT. We made progress, but…read morewe hit a wall after a couple of months. My son was close but not quite up to the level he needed to be to get an offer from any of the specialized schools. He was burned out, and the uncertainty about whether, when, and how the SHSAT would be administered didn't help. It wasn't until mid-January, a little more than two weeks before the test, that my son regained enough enthusiasm to refocus. I got in contact with Ed, and he very quickly set up a short series of private sessions for my son with Adnan. I had my doubts about how much could be accomplished in just a few sessions, but these were put to rest in the first 10 minutes working with Adnan -- it was clear that he had the expertise to quickly assess my son's strengths and weaknesses and make very productive use of the limited time available. After four sessions my son felt a lot more comfortable with material he had been struggling with and confident about his prospects. I was very pleased and highly recommend Antoine Education. (While the test results would not have impacted my review, I decided to wait until the receiving them in hopes of having a better story to tell. We got good news from DOE this past week, and I have no doubt that Adnan's tutoring gave my son the boost he needed.)
