NYC Test Prep - An Overview

Experienced Test Prep That Makes A Difference

Central Park Tutors has prepared New York City students for every major admissions test for more than twenty years. From kindergarten entrance testing through high school admissions, college applications, and graduate-level exams, we match your child with a tutor whose expertise maps directly to the test your child is taking — and who builds a curriculum around how your child actually learns.

We work one-on-one, in your home or online. Every tutor holds a master’s degree. Our rate is $165 per hour for academic tutoring and test prep ($200 per hour for MCAT and LSAT). We do not require prepayment or hour packages.

Our tutoring has been recommended by The New York Times, and we have been invited by Columbia University Teachers College to teach test prep.

Why Central Park Tutors

We are not a prep center. We are not a marketplace. We work with a deliberately small roster of New York’s finest tutors, each holding a master’s degree, each matched carefully to the student and the test. Our track record — admissions to Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Hunter, Horace Mann, Dalton, Trinity, and dozens of other top schools — reflects that model.

We are one of the only NYC tutoring agencies run by a literacy specialist, which gives us unusual depth on reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and essay writing — skills that appear on nearly every test we prepare for.
