Standardized Test Prep (SHSAT, SATs, etc.)

I’m Simon the tutor 👋

I specialize in standardized test prep: SHSAT, SAT, SSAT, Regents, Hunter exam, etc. Feel free to inquire about general tutoring for subjects up to, and including, intro level college courses.

I’ve been tutoring since 2013. This site is a gateway to related projects, scheduling, and a bit about me.

SHSAT.io – Online Prep Course

Over the past 5 years, I’ve tutored 12 SHSAT students – 10 of whom have gone on to a Specialized HS. I never write my own questions. Instead, I point to the best publishers on the market.

SHSAT.io guides students through workbooks in a particular order that mirrors my in-person approach. The program is designed for self-studying students, but it can also be used by parents and tutors to track their student’s progress.

After working with Simon for 2 months, my son increased his SHSAT score by 150 points… enough to get him into his first choice school. Simon is the best SHSAT tutor ever (I’ve had many other tutors previously). When my son first started working with Simon, he could not finish the practice test, despite working with another private tutor and being enrolled in Kaplan. He exceeded all expectations and built my son’s confidence in himself. Simon is extremely knowledgeable, strategic, and focused on getting the highest score possible, and he will get your child there. My son says that Simon is THE reason he will go to his first choice school.

SHSAT.blog – Q&A Posts

This is a project to catalog everything I know about the SHSAT. Visitors submit their questions by email and I respond back in the form of a blog post. You ask, I answer.

1-on-1 Online Tutoring

I’ve been tutoring since I was a Sophmore in HS. It started as a way to earn some pocket money to hang out with friends. Now it’s a project to see how many students I can prep into a Specialized High School and how many students I can push towards respectable test scores.

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality
Simon has been tutoring our son Lucas last year for the SHSAT exam. We were very happy with him and his approach to the test, he gradually prepared Lucas for the test and once he had solid knowledge of the topics they worked on timing which is an important component of the exam. We are still in touch with Simon and from the time to time he is working with Lucas on certain subjects. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor and are happy to answer any questions !
