“This service is a lifesaver,” said Ms. Sternberg, who reported that her son’s grades
and organizational skills improved and that parent-child conflicts declined after she hired
Ms. Kraglievich [of Central Park Tutors].”

Twenty Years Tutoring New York City’s Students

We work with a deliberately small team of the finest private tutors in New York City — each holding a Master’s Degree, each personable, each deeply experienced in their subject. As one of the only NYC tutoring agencies run by a literacy specialist, we believe great teaching begins with listening to each student.

That philosophy is why our tutoring has been recommended in The New York Times, why Columbia University Teachers College invited us to teach test prep, and why families from Spence, Horace Mann, Dalton, Stuyvesant, Avenues, Trinity and dozens of other top schools have trusted us for many years.

We’re proud of the results. But our favorite measure of success is this parent’s words: “I want to stand on a soapbox and thank you for helping my daughter. She for once felt good about math — but I could see more; she actually was saying she felt good about herself.”

NYC Tutoring Built Around Each Student

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all tutoring. Every student we work with has a different learning style, a different school, and a different set of goals. We start by listening — and we build from there.

  • Master’s-Degree Tutors Only. Every tutor on our team holds an advanced degree and has proven classroom or tutoring experience.

  • Run by a Literacy Specialist. We are one of the only NYC tutoring agencies led by a literacy expert — giving us unmatched depth in reading, writing, and language-based learning.

  • Small, Curated Roster. We stay intentionally small so we can match students carefully and maintain our standards.

  • 20+ Years of Results. A track record of admissions to NYC’s most selective schools, strong test scores, and students who feel genuinely good about learning.

Thank you for sharing Alex with us. She was wonderful — in the way she bonded with my daughter, in her patient instruction, in the energy she brought into our home, in the observations she made and the materials she had with her.
