The Summer SHSAT 2024 has finished until next year! Offers were made around Wednesday, August 28, 2024. And tons of Congrats to our summer SHSAT students; each of you please enjoy the specialized high school you got an offer to! The summer SHSAT is normally offered to students who were not residents of NYC during the respective fall administration of the SHSAT, or in rarer cases involving illness. 2025 Summer SHSAT information is still forthcoming from the DOE. Exact details are often not known until at least late spring. Last year, registration for the summer SHSAT was open around July. Last year the summer SHSAT was administered 8 a.m. on Friday, August 2, 2024. |
The SAT and PSAT are held multiple times throughout the year. You can take the SAT more than once. On the date you've chosen, juniors and seniors usually take the SAT, and sophomores and juniors usually take one form of the PSAT. We also tutor for the ACT and CLT too. |
Many private schools use the ISEE, SSAT, and similar tests such as TerraNova or CTP-5. Greg's Tutoring has you covered!

Note: The CHSEE will be the same online exam as the TACHS this year. These exams will all be online in 2024. The COOP in NJ is the same as the HSPT and so far will be in person.

In other words, not all Catholic schools use the TACHS, not even all in NYC. As well, for some you will need to take an additional exam for scholarship purposes. For instance, Xavier, Fordham Prep, and Regis require HSPT for scholarships. Please visit the school's websites for their up to date information on these issues.

Our Mission, Approach, And Who we are
Greg's Tutoring NYC puts education first. We believe in impacting young students' educational goals, setting high academic standards that meet the needs of all children, challenging and rigorous education, better schools in every borough, expansion of educational opportunities, fighting and reversing inequity in education, integrated schools, and providing services to the disabled, impoverished, and those with mental health concerns. No child should be at an educational disadvantage. Every child's academic and emotional needs can and should be met. It's vital to provide uplifting empowerment and ensure students are aware, engaged citizens yielding systemic compassion, empathy, and unity. We graciously and responsibly give back to the educational community through volunteerism, providing education-based opportunities and services to those otherwise unable, and holding NYC to their commitments.
The intellectual, social, and emotional growth of students is of the utmost importance and focus to us. We provide an exceptional atmosphere that is friendly and enriching.
We inspire and radiate our own love of learning. We approach learning with the tenet "Thinking is key." Problems don't exist in isolation, therefore in addition to delving into how to solve the problem at hand, it's as essential that we also explore topics, concepts, insights, techniques, and their underlying reasoning. Model solutions are important to understand, and we work with students on those, but problem solving goes beyond the rote, allowing us to provide for a much deeper analysis. We guide students' skill growth whereas they are adaptable across new and novel situations no matter what is thrown at them, even the unfamiliar.
Our sessions are always challenging. Always thought provoking. Always posing intriguing questions. Always problem solving. Always exploring and using what you know in new ways. Always casual and organic. Always enriching. Always capturing the fascination, wonder, and joy of learning and discovery!
We are not a student factory. We tackle things methodically. Our students are shown an appreciation for the material and its subtleties. Experimenting is always supported. We do not just help but we significantly strengthen a student's skills, knowledge, and approach. Terminology, listening, and communication skills are fostered.
With maturity, growth, fluidity, conceptual understanding, personal accomplishment, and confidence, there is mastery. Through organized stimulation of numeracy and literacy, we support self-discovery, questioning, creativity, motivation, and initiative as tools to last a student's lifetime.
Our approach ensures fundamental core material is solid. It is customized, concept-oriented, feedback-driven, and reinforcing, therefore establishing incremental and iterative learning. When reinforced with problem analysis and strategy, the results provide an efficient cognitive toolkit designed to help your student learn material, retain what they have learned, improve thinking skills, solve unfamiliar problems, be prepared, remain calm and confident, and score higher.
