Verified Company
Poor management
I went through several rounds of interviews and presentations to get ghosted by this company. The interviewer, Marcus, was cold and unfriendly. I'm a tutor with 10+ years of experience in this subject area, so am by no means unexperienced. I'm personable and have consistently raised students' scores and received positive feedback from families time and time again. I'm not one to typically write bad reviews after an interview, but the way this was handled reflects very poorly on them. I've never been rejected from any tutoring company I've ever interviewed with before.
The way I was treated speaks volumes about how Marcus and the rest of this company will treat you, whether you're a student, parent, or applicant.
Rebecca Comella is an exceptional tutor! My 7th-grader had the privilege of working with her to prepare for the SHSAT and ISEE tests, and the results were outstanding. Rebecca has a remarkable ability to make learning fun and engaging, which kept my child motivated and eager to learn.
One of the things that stood out about Rebecca was her flexibility. Despite our holiday travels, Rebecca was always accommodating, scheduling classes to ensure he stayed on track with his studies. This level of dedication and adaptability truly sets her apart.
Thanks to Rebecca's guidance and support, my child excelled in both tests and secured admission to one of the top NYC specialized schools. Beyond just exam preparation, Arya gained a deep understanding of math concepts that have proven invaluable in his regular school curriculum.
I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough. Her expertise, passion for teaching, and commitment to her students make her an outstanding tutor. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond to help students succeed, Rebecca is the perfect choice.

My daughter took the prep class for SHSAT with Tutorverse and had a very successful outcome. She benefited from the material prep class which worked as a foundation for the actual test prep. She received thorough feedback on the practice tests to learn how to improve her scores throughout her test prep. Highly recommend!

Fantastic news, and thank you for sharing! It was a pleasure working with your family, and CONGRATS!
Rebecca with Tutorverse was of tremendous help to our son in getting the scores he needed to get match with his first choice Brooklyn Tech! She really know spot on where he was trailing, what he needed to focus on and how to prepare in general. Over the months, together they morphed into the perfect study machine :-) I did not know how important it is to have the right tutor until we met her!

My son had a terrific experience with Tutorverse. The classes provided a great grounding on the SHSAT test and helped him prepare leading up to it. Eric was very helpful and attentive. I highly recommend their services.

Thank you for sharing - it was a privilege to work with your family!
I was recommended by my neighbor to try Tutorverse which I’m glad that I signed it up in the last minute. They provided practice test every weekend that help my son brushed up his test skills and also helped him to keep up his time. Practice makes perfect. At the end my son scored 627 which we are very happy about it.

We highly recommend both The Tutorverse SHSAT group prep classes and individual tutoring. Our son started with Tutorverse in the winter of 7th grade and had a great experience. When we realized he would also take the HSPT, The Tutorverse found Eric Sepe for individual weekend tutoring sessions to help him prepare for that and solidify a few of his weaker areas for the SHSAT. Fast-forward and our son was offered a place at his top choice specialized high school, as well as a merit scholarship and invitation to the honors program at a top Catholic school. The Tutorverse is a great organization which cares about the students. Eric is phenomenal; an incredibly smart but also really nice guy whom my son looked forward to working with every week and gave him the confidence to ace his exams. - Deirdre Littlewood

Thank you so much, Deirdre! It was so great working with your family this year, and CONGRATULATIONS!
We met our son’s tutor, John Chismody, through Tutorverse. I cannot say enough good things about John! We looked forward to his weekly visits. He is smart, friendly, patient and dedicated. He explains concepts in a way that are digestible and so that the student understands the principles. It’s not just about getting to the answers for the sake of the test. My son walked away a smarter and better student, all around, after working with John. I have recommended John to friends, colleagues, and hope to have my daughter work with him as she prepares for her high school exams.
I know folks like to see results. Learning alongside John, my son got into a specialized high school and honors programs at Catholic schools.

Thank you so much for sharing, and a big congrats!!!
Tutorverse was a great resource for our daughter. Their coursework is thorough and the scheduling is very organized which is helpful for a class bridging the spring of 7th grade, independent summer work, and the fall of 8th grade. There is also ample opportunity to review practice test performance for overall improvement. Best of all our daughter nailed the official test and got her first choice SHS. Thank you!
Rebecca is an excellent tutor. She was friendly, engaging, and truly helped our child not just improve scores but understand complex concepts. Highly recommended!

Can’t say enough positive things about our experience with The Tutorverse. Math tutor Jenni H and Verbal tutor Freyal Shah we’re both instrumental in helping our daughter score high enough to get an offer from Stuyvesant. Her weekly teacher, I think Jun, did a great job keeping her on track. the office was also super helpful, Angelica and Konstantyn were both responsive to requests. Ollie and Jeff spent ALOT of time with us on the phone explaining the tests, the admissions process, scoring, and making sure we found great tutors and coordinating the schedules. I’m so glad we found this team and I would give them a great review even if we didn’t get the offer from Stuy because they did everything they could to give our daughter the best chance of success. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for sharing! Your feedback really made our day here in the office. Big congratulations are in order to you and your whole family. What an amazing outcome!!!
I was struggling to get good scores on the SHSAT, and then John helped me get an offer from Brooklyn Technical High School, and I think he was an amazing tutor!

Thanks for sharing, Reef! John will be so happy to hear this :) You'll do great things at Brooklyn Tech and beyond!
I am writing to convey my appreciation to Tutorverse for helping our son Reef achieve his goal of getting into his second choice specialized high school, Brooklyn Tech. Reef benefited from taking the Tutorverse course but the experience truly became transformative for him when he started working with his tutor, John Chismody. John is an excellent tutor and fascinating person. His pragmatic approach to preparing for the SHSAT really resonated with Reef and the learning took hold. Reef was consistently scoring within reach of Brooklyn Tech soon after he began working with Reef. We were hopeful he may even get within reach of Stuyvesant, his first choice, but despite the fact that he didn't we are very proud of Reef and what he achieved with the help of Tutorverse and especially his tutor John Chismody. Thank you.

Tutorverse is great. My son’s tutor John Chismody assisted him with successfully being admitted to Fordham Prep High School. John also assisted my daughter in being admitted to Beacon High School. Thank you John.

Highly recommend Tutorverse for SHSAT preparation. Our child took private lessons with Marcus, who developed a thoughtful plan and provided useful homework and detailed feedback for many months leading up to the test. She got into her first-choice school.
