The SHSAT: A Tall Gate
The SHSAT is a gateway to New York City's best public high schools, not only in terms of academics but extracurricular activities and school culture as well. However, with almost 30,000 test takers every year, it can be frustrating how difficult it is to gain admission into even one of these top-tier schools. We want to see your child beat these odds.
Online Instruction That Works
COVID-19 has caused schools and prep centers alike to shut their doors, but we're here to help you catch up. We offer full-fledged online SHSAT lessons through Zoom, utilizing our signature unique approach, material, and individual attention to students that foster success.
The First of Many Tests
For most students, the SHSAT is only the first in a long line of tests that will impact their educational prospects. Unlike national standardized tests like the SAT, the SHSAT lacks a broad base of practice material, and the recent blow to public school education has only made this challenge more difficult.
Mentorship Before, During, After
We work to help your child succeed, even beyond the SHSAT. Through our effective curriculum, innovative approach, and talented faculty, we make sure that both our students and their scores see significant improvement. Your child won't just be admitted to NYC's best high schools– they'll flourish there
Guaranteed Improvement
Our Three-Part Plan for Success
Uniquely Qualified Teaching
Our comprehensive summer SHSAT prep courses are not only led by English & Math experts, but also specialized high school alumni themselves. Our highly qualified teachers are best-suited to create and administer an effective SHSAT curriculum, as well as prepare our students to flourish in NYC”s top public high schools
Genuine Motivation to Learn
Learning simply does not happen by explaining math concepts or reading passages. Instead, our motto and responsibility is to stimulate our students’ curiosity in these subjects and expand their knowledge. Rather than merely providing practice and review, we encourage our students to engage with the material and be proactive in their learning
Close Bonds
We limit each classroom size to a small number and offer private tutoring, allowing our tutors to pay more attention to nurturing each individual’s talent. We believe that by building these tight-knit bonds in the classrooms, it gives our tutors the ability to effectively analyze each students’ weakness and strengths. These bonds also allow our tutors to provide the mentorship that we emphasize so highly to our students
