NYC Test Prep is fantastic. Through working with them, I boosted my GMAT score 50 points, from 700…read moreto 750. I also increased my math score from the 68th percentile to the 82nd. Dan, the owner, is a pleasure to work with, and he helped me find a tutor who was especially strong in math. Brandon, the tutor who helped me, was excellent at offering suggestions for new strategies and helping me become strong in areas that were previously weaknesses. He also has a friendly and patient manner and we worked together as equals to fix my problem spots. The value for the money is also very good relative to other organizations in the NY area. There's a lot less overhead that you're paying for than with larger GMAT prep tutoring services, even though the tutors are at the same level as them. I would strongly recommend NYC Test Prep's services to anyone who has plateaued with his or her test scores and wants to keep pushing the scores upwards.

I was really happy with my LSAT tutor from NYC Test Prep.

The one-on-one tutoring made it possible for my tutor and I to focus on the areas of the test that I needed help on, not the areas that the other 15 kids in the room were struggling with which was way more efficient. He was able to answer all of my questions in a way that made sense, and he didn't waste time explaining the cookie cutter 'tips and tricks' that other classes and tutors are taught to. My tutor understood that I had my own way of learning and made accommodations so that we utilized our time effectively. My LSAT score went up a lot from the sessions and and I would definitely recommend them.

We were able to cover a lot of information in the 2 hours that we met. I have a PC, and since he is an Apple pro, he took note of a few things that he wanted to confirm. He later got back to me with clear answers explaining what I needed to do to fix my issue. I really appreciated the way he continued to help me even after our session was over. David will be my go-to when I need more lessons down the road!

Genius Prep was described to me as Kumon meets Chuck e Cheese. I'd say that's an accurate…read moredescription (and a million dollar idea). Lance, the founder, is not only an engaging and potent math teacher (and I say this after blowing through 5 math teachers in an attempt to find "the one" for my teenage daughter), but he is goal oriented and authoritative. He was the first teacher who had a plan and told ME how and when he was going achieve the goals. So far we are on target. I am referring to Lance as a teacher as opposed to a tutor because I believe there is a distinction. A tutor helps students with what they don't understand in school (or to prepare for a test). A teacher goes beyond "tutoring" and knows WHAT needs to be taught and has efficient and varied methods and a curriculum. A great teacher is much harder to find than a great tutor. The closest comparison to Genius Prep is Kumon. Both are what I refer to as "after schooling" or "caulking." They go beyond "tutoring/homework help" and are intended to shore up foundational skills to the point of automaticity (not something most schools do). Kumon moves a student up to the next level after the student passes a test to prove mastery (speed and accuracy). Lance tests for mastery too. My daughter must achieve an 85% or higher on the state exam before he'll move her along to the next level. Hallelujah. I don't want to hear from my daughter that she gets it. I want to see the results...from a test. I'm a huge fan of Kumon and somehow managed to convince my teenage son to do 20 minutes of Kumon worksheets for an entire year (and he had his best math year ever), but there wasn't a lot of "fun" involved; there was a lot of whining (him) and cajoling (me). Lance adds fun into the equation at Genius Prep. Half of the center is working space (i.e. quite rooms with desks) and the other half is a game room (think Chuck e Cheese). After students complete their work they can take a break and play fussball or video games or basketball, etc. What a novel idea! And there are prizes and snacks too (and do not underestimate the magic of this. I've heard my daughter refer to those juice boxes a surprising amount of times and she seems to be motivated by those little toys, which sort of surprised me). Sessions are 90 minutes long with a 10 minute break in the middle and are very reasonably priced. It's intense work but with a high level of joy. Incidentally, I believe "learning" can be fun too, though it's just hard to convince students of this because most have experienced so many un-engaging teachers that they don't believe it. My 16-year-old daughter actually likes going to Genius Prep to learn math. I never thought I'd write those words. I was shooting for "she'll do it without much complaining."
