New York City Tutoring Services Since 2005

NYC can be a very competitive environment for school children. Both private schools and public schools at the secondary level require rigorous testing, and since the implementation of the Common Core Curriculum, have become even more challenging. The Study Shack has been providing tutoring services in NYC for over 10 years, and is well versed in every curriculum change that has taken place. The Study Shack staff is continuously monitoring NYC private and public schools to insure the consistency between what your child is learning in school and their private tutoring sessions.

NYC Private Schools: Improve the Chance of Being Accepted

Some of the top primary and secondary private schools get thousands of applicants per grade, with only 60 or so open placements. Improving your child’s ISEE and SSAT score will put them above the average applicant. Since 2005, The Study Shack’s tutoring services have helped students get accepted into NYC’s top private schools.
