Why Contract with Ivy Tutors
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. Ivy Tutors offers remedial tutoring or enrichment programs from 6 weeks to a full year. We work with schools to find the best format for their students, including 1-on-1 and small group tutoring, in the classroom, or out. Use our services during the school day, as part of an after school program, or as part of a Saturday academy. Choose subject-specific tutoring, or work on test prep for everything from midterms to Regents exams.
Drive student success through personalized, data-backed strategies. Ivy Tutors provides schools with one-on-one or small group tutoring aimed at helping students gain confidence in subject matter, learn to study, and acquire test-taking skills. Utilizing diagnostic testing, we identify students’ strengths and areas of need, providing necessary data for developing a customized test prep plan for each student or group. Our tutors are adept at addressing content gaps, and teach students test-taking strategies, time management, and tools to cope with test anxiety. Test-prep is our specialty. We can help students and schools with State or Regents exams, the SHSAT, ISEE, SSAT, TACHS, SAT, and ACT.
Help your upperclassmen build the best college application possible with workshops on passion-exploration, college list building, finding volunteer opportunities and internships, financial aid applications, and more. Our tutors can provide one-on-one or small group support for college application assistance to 11th and 12th grade students. Or take advantage of our college essay “boot camp” workshops - one of our most requested services by private clients - which immerses students in the essay-writing experience and teaches critical skills for a wow-worthy admissions essay.
Math & ELA Enrichment
These critical core subjects are some of the most likely to pose challenges to students, especially those with learning differences or English language learners. Our tutors teach foundational reading skills, fill in gaps in grammar, reading comprehension, or logical reasoning, and help with reading out-loud. For those needing extra support in math, tutors help with everything from math fundamentals to calculus. Whether the students in your school need support for core competencies or advanced mathematics and English, our tutors can help.
Our data-driven - yet personalized - approach leverages the best quality diagnostic and mock testing tools to provide a detailed analysis of every test taken and then help students improve upon their areas of weakness. Every year, we have students who achieve a perfect 1600 SAT or 36 ACT, while others break a 1400 or a 32, scores they previously thought were impossible. Many of our students go up by as many as 300 points on the SAT or 5 points on the ACT from prior tests.
