* In general, big test prep schools require students to purchase whole packages of 10 hours or more.  Please check their websites for the most up-to-date private tutoring rates in your area.

* Our tutoring rates shown in the first 2 tables above are for services comparable to Princeton Review’s “Master” or “Premier” tutoring tiers, but at a fraction of their costs.  We are able to provide premier tutoring services at substantially reduced rates because as a small academy, we do not have inflated corporate overheads.

* In fact, our rates are also substantially lower than essentially all of the elite/premier/”boutique” tutoring agencies in New York City and other major US cities, while providing the same or a higher level of service.  Their rates also start at well over $150/hr and we have seen them as high as over $400/hr.  However, it is quite true that learning from elite tutors is analogous to attending Master Classes with music maestros.  Our aim is to provide elite level tutoring at reasonable rates.
