The transition into high school can be daunting. ๐
Applying to dream schools. An increased workload. More challenging subjects. College prep already on the horizon. Where do you even begin?
How do you make sure your child starts the process and enters high school with confidence? What if there is an admissions exam involved?
Tutoring is the key to success.
If your student is taking an admissions exam, a comprehensive prep program is the way to go. And if your student does not have an exam to worry about, this is their time to lock in on subject tutoring. You do not want your child walking into high school carrying middle school struggles. Attack them early and head on for a smoother transition.

We hear this from parents all the time. โThey can just take it again.โ ๐
And while we understand the logic, here is what that thinking is missing. Colleges are not just looking at how many times your child sat for the SAT. They are looking at the score. And a score that does not improve after multiple attempts tells a story you do not want it to tell.
Superscoring gives your child an opportunity. But opportunity without preparation is just another test date.
The families who see real results are the ones who treat every SAT attempt as part of a larger plan, not a standalone event. They prep between tests. They fix what went wrong. They go in with a goal.
If your child is planning to retake the SAT, make sure they are preparing differently this time. That is the only way the needle moves.
Our summer SAT Essentials course is open for enrollment. Head to tutoringbychristine.com or call/text us at (917) 748-9089.

This mindset could make a tutor cry ๐ญ
The SHSAT is one of the most competitive exams in New York. Students are not just competing against the test โ they are competing against thousands of other students across the city for a limited number of seats. One month of prep is not enough time to build the skills, master the strategies, and develop the timing needed to perform at that level.
At Tutoring by Christine, we start SHSAT prep early and build systematically. Our students go through full-length practice tests, structured lessons, timed drills, and targeted error analysis because that is what it actually takes to earn a seat at a specialized high school.
If your child is serious about the SHSAT, the time to start is not a month before the exam. It is now.
SHSAT Summer Intensive begins July 7th.
๐ 253 Nelson Ave, Staten Island, NY
Your A+ student still needs help prepping for standardized exams because the content being assessed is completely different from what theyโre being assessed on in school.
Which exams do we help prep for?
SHSAT, TACHS, and SAT! ๐คฉ
We also offer private test prep and subject tutoring. ๐

Not all students thrive in 1:1 environments. And many students would love the opportunity to study with their friends! Thatโs why we built the Friends Together Tutoring Program.
And whatโs so great about this program is it not only cultivates a tutoring environment your student will love, but it saves you money! Sign up with a friend or two, form your own private small group, and every student receives $15 off the regular private tutoring rate.
Here is how it works. ๐คฉ
- tudents in the group study the same subject together with one of our expert tutors.
- he schedule is set by you and our team.
- ll materials and practice tests are included.
- vailable for SAT, TACHS, SHSAT, Regents, ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies from elementary school through high school.
