Central Park Tutors

Central Park Tutors, based in New York, NY, provides one-to-one academic support and test preparation for students from early childhood through graduate school. For more than 20 years, the agency has worked with a small, curated team of tutors—each holding a master’s degree and proven classroom or tutoring experience—led by an Orton-Gillingham–trained literacy specialist. Services include homework help and organizational support; ADHD and executive functioning coaching; structured literacy instruction for dyslexia using the Orton-Gillingham approach; homeschooling support; Mandarin tutoring; and subject tutoring across math, science, humanities, and languages. Test preparation covers the SHSAT, ISEE, SSAT, Hunter College High School, Mark Twain IS 239 audition, SAT, ACT, AP exams, MCAT, LSAT, and the Series 7 exam. The team also supports NYC private school admissions, including kindergarten entrance, and offers college admissions essay coaching and college-level tutoring; it has published Puzzles for Young Children for early entrance test preparation. Central Park Tutors has been recommended by The New York Times, and Columbia University Teachers College has invited its team to teach test preparation. Tutors meet students in-home across New York City—with strong coverage in Manhattan and Brooklyn—and also work with families online.
