Middle School Tutoring

Middle school is a time of transition and increasing academic pressure. New York students have the added stress of applying for high schools, taking entrance exams like the SHSAT, and preparing for auditions at specialty high schools. Whether your student is struggling with a particular subject or class, looking for test prep, or seeking high school admissions support, Ivy Tutors Network can help. Your student will be paired with a tutor who is not only an expert in their subject, but also an expert at building rapport with teens and pre-teens. Need another reason to hire a tutor? A review of almost 200 studies found that high-dosage tutoring is one of the few school-based interventions with demonstrated large positive effects on both math and reading. Middle school really ramps up the challenge in both of these core subjects. If your student is struggling with math, reading comprehension, or composition, access to tutoring is the best way to make sure they have the skills to improve and keep up with their peers. With over 20 years of experience, Ivy Tutors Network offers middle school tutoring to students in person in New York and Atlanta, and virtually anywhere in the U.S. Find a tutor or a test prep session today!

Kathryn H.
Henry is thoroughly enjoying working with Jordan. Up until now, Henry has not gotten any one-on-one teaching of coding so he's thrilled to work this way with Jordan. Henry has said it's super interesting, fun and he loves it.
Caitlin B.
Thank you so much. The tutors have been amazing from start to finish. We are so grateful to have this program since our daughter doesn’t have any in-classroom options this year. We love Ivy Tutors Network!
Rachel N.
We’ve had such a positive experience with Ivy Tutors. My son started working with Shakir two years ago, at a time when he was really struggling in school. The one on one support has been invaluable, and has truly helped to turn things around. I honestly don’t think we could have made it this far without them - would highly recommend!
