City Smarts

Each had unique skill sets and both offered balanced support to our daughters, always allowing them to think for themselves and remaining attentive to their stress levels.

The proof is in the pudding, acceptances to one top 10 national university and one top 40 in the most competitive college acceptance environment ever in 2022.

Our tutor and the leadership team worked to remedy a math deficiency for our middle schooler in less than a year.

Not only did my sons feel supported by City Smarts, but my husband and I did as well because the City Smarts team always welcomed our questions and were always quick to offer assistance in navigating not only the SHSAT, but also the high school admissions process.

We've used many tutoring services over the years and City Smarts is by far the most flexible, invested and capable firm we found.

Over the years, our daughters have worked with several of their tutors, both for standardized test prep and general tutoring.

They've found a unique group of people, thoughtful about little things like scheduling as well as the bigger issues surrounding educational content, needs, etc.

Over the four years we’ve used the service for general math tutoring and test prep, we have found the tutors we’ve worked with and known (Danielle, Marc, and Haleigh), to be a dedicated, patient, and efficient professionals.

Danielle allowed us to step back in the process and let our son hear a different voice which allowed him to understand larger concepts as he improved his test scores and grades across the board.

The scores my daughter attained on the practice tests, along with the feedback and support from Danielle gave her the confidence to take the test and attain a score high enough to get into ANY of the NYC specialized high schools - We’ll back back with the next two daughters when the time comes.
