Manhattan Tutors
About
Manhattan Tutors is a New York, NY–based tutoring agency providing personalized academic support and standardized test preparation. Its team comprises professional tutors with decades of combined experience at agencies such as Advantage Testing, Inspirica, Varsity Tutors, Kaplan, and Princeton Review. The agency matches students to tutors based on academic history, test scores, goals, and interests, and supports families and tutors throughout the engagement.
Core services include preparation for the SAT, ACT, and the ISEE at the Primary, Lower, Middle, and Upper levels, along with general subject tutoring. Manhattan Tutors emphasizes transparent pricing with a clear rate scale. To minimize overhead, sessions are held in students’ homes or public spaces, enabling tutor compensation of up to 90% of the hourly rate based on experience.
The roster includes current and former classroom teachers and professionals with advanced degrees, with credentials from institutions such as Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Pomona, and Vassar. Getting started involves sharing a student profile; the team then proposes a tutor whose background aligns with the student’s needs, provides details on the tutor’s experience for approval, and facilitates scheduling for ongoing support.
