“I’ve worked with my tutor for over 8 years, but it made an especially meaningful impact in my junior year. I felt more confident, more prepared, and genuinely supported not just in school but in prepping for the SAT. I know the progress I made helped me get into my first choice college: Cornell University!”

“From the start, Metropolitan Scholars showed a level of dedication and care that went far beyond just tutoring. My daughter and son felt supported academically, and I always felt informed and involved. I truly believe this partnership helped Anna reach her full potential in getting admitted to Cornell and I know Andrew will have the same help in a few years!”

“Working with Metropolitan Scholars was one of the first times I got to learn just for the fun of it. We explored topics like chess strategy and music theory — things I’ve always been curious about but never got to study in school. My tutor helped me shape my own projects and made it exciting every time. It didn’t feel like tutoring — it felt like discovery.

“I used to feel really stressed about the Regents, especially for Geometry. But working with Metropolitan Scholars helped everything click. My tutor explained things in a way that made sense and always made sure I really understood the material. I went into the test feeling prepared and confident — and I did way better than I expected!”

“We came to Metropolitan hoping to raise our child’s grades—and we did—but what impressed me most was the growth in confidence and independence. Our child became more organized, more motivated, and started taking real ownership of their work. It wasn’t just about getting better at school—it was about becoming a stronger learner. We’re incredibly grateful for the support and care our tutor brought to every session.”

“As a university Dean, I’m often struck by how few students arrive truly prepared to think critically, write clearly, and engage deeply with ideas. That’s why I’m so impressed by the work Metropolitan Scholars are doing with students. The level of intellectual curiosity, independence, and confidence they cultivate — often through customized, thoughtful instruction — is exactly how to prepare higher education. It’s not just preparation for college: it’s preparation for a lifetime of meaningful learning.”
