City Smarts is proudly different. We are a full service tutoring firm that offers academic and test prep tutoring, holistic coaching, and admissions consulting. We offer small group workshops and in-person mock exams. We partner with schools and local non-profits to support the admissions needs of their communities.Whether a student is looking to post elite test scores or get themselves back on track, we meet our students where they are and empower them through our supportive programming.We work with our student's parents, teachers, and learning specialists to establish an individualized support structure that will ensure both short term benefits and long term comprehension. We pair students with passionate tutors who know their material and how to teach it. Our individualized approach affords students the opportunity to display their strengths and weaknesses in the presence of qualified instructors who can recommend a precise course of action.We design, not just assign, practice problems and tests that accurately reflect the subjects and tests we teach. Test prep companies that claim to help students "beat the test" overlook the fact that test-taking is a basic component of educational achievement. We build core concepts and teach test strategies, while also instilling better testing skills that go deeper than any quick fixes offered by other companies.We provide an instructional environment that fosters collaboration, confidence-building, and motivation, centering wellness first above all else.Finally, we work hand-in-hand with counselors and parents to send our students to life changing schools. Our unique narrative approach to admissions gets results. City Smarts has guided high school and college applicants, transfers, and MBAs to acceptances at many of the best schools in the world.
