"There are many tutoring centers available all over the Brooklyn.
So the question is what so special is about Little Genius Prep. I like the teaching style, small groups, personal attention to every student in the group.
As a result my child successfully passed the SHSAT test and got accepted into Stuyvesant High School. 
I strongly recommend Little Genius Prep."

"Thank you Little Genius Prep for all your help with G&T prep for my older daughter. My daughter did very well and will be starting G&T class this coming school year. I was so pleased with your prep school that my younger daughter will be starting G&T prep this year. I highly recommend Little Genius Prep for anyone looking to boost their child's knowledge."

"My 7 year old son has been attending Little Genius Prep for a few month and we've been very happy with the quality of the tutoring sessions.
His reading comprehension tutor has a lot of experience and great attitude toward her young students. My son is looking forward to his tutoring sessions at Little Genius Prep. His grades have also significantly improved since he started going to the center.
I would highly recommend this place. They have great tutors in different subjects."

"Arthur is an absolutely professional tutor. We are very thankful that he agreed to prepare our child for the testing competition to get in Christa Mcauliffe junior high school in Brooklyn. The result is that our child was accepted into Scientific Academy (the best academy in Brooklyn). We strongly recommend him!!!!!!!"

"I wish I had known about Little Genius prep classes a few years ago. We’ve changed few tutors before we finally found a good one from Little Genius. After couple of months of taking Math classes in this company, my daughter’s grades started to improve, even her school teacher got surprised with the results and complimented her. I guess she did not believe that my daughter could make it to a better grade. We would like to thank her patient and caring Math tutor, Arthur, from Little genius prep. My daughter started to believe in herself. She got into Brooklyn Tech this year, an achievement that we could not even dream of a year ago.  Everyone in my family feels that Little Genius Prep was the right choice and the best investment that we ever made for our daughter."

"I wouldn’t be writing this unless I really felt like it was important – I went to an average high school where the curriculum isn’t large enough to cover the contents of the SAT. I really struggled with the Reading and Writing parts, especially because I have only been in America for six years. Every time I took the test in my sophomore and junior year of high school, my score was a steady 1400 and didn’t really seem to improve. I was reluctant about going to a tutoring place at first, but now I’m really glad I tried it out. I worked with my tutor for just a few months, and he actually made the English sections that I dreaded much easier to deal with. There was a lot of work involved, but it actually became fun as I learned more. After spending three hours a week at Little Genius through the summer, I re-took the test as a senior and got a 1970, and now I’m going to Stevens University this fall with a partial scholarship."

​"I had learned about Little Genius Prep from my friend whose daughter attended it and passed test for Gifted and Talented last year. To be honest, I did not know whether my son, Daniel, could do it. He is only 4, so he can be very impatient, and it is hard even for me hold his attention for longer that 15 minutes. We had Victoria to tutor him. She is really great with little kids. On his first class Daniel could not even sit still.  However, Victoria was very patient and supportive. She made learning fun for my son. She was able to keep him interested for the entire lesson using different teaching strategies. In the next 3 weeks Daniel could not wait to go to tutoring.  I was really glad to see my son developing joy in learning. Oh, did I mention that he got into the school of our choice, Gifted and Talented program?"

"Last year, when our 7th-grade daughter told me that she wanted to get into Stuyvesant, we had mixed feelings. On the one hand, we were glad that our daughter had set a high standard for her education, but on the other hand, we kept hearing about disappointed parents whose children failed to get into their first choice specialized high school. We decided to give tutoring a chance, and we put her into a rather large SHSAT group in a tutoring academy in Brooklyn. After almost 4 months, she still wasn’t confident in her math abilities so we decided to switch over to Little Genius Prep, which has smaller groups and allows for more personal focus. We signed her up for Math and English, and she went there twice a week from April all the way until two days before the test in October. When she got her results in spring, we knew we had made the right decision by choosing Little Genius Prep. Our daughter was one of the very few students in Bay Academy who got into Stuyvesant this year. We were the happiest parents ever. We can’t thank the tutors at Little Genius Prep enough for their work, and highly recommend it for SHSAT prep."
