"My family has worked with Intelligentsia for 10 years with each of our three children. I can not recommend them enough. Each tutor has been extremely supportive, compassionate and effective. My children could not get through school or life without these wonderful tutors!"

Eugene is one in a million. He was simply the best tutor my kids have ever had. He didn’t just help them understand the subject material, his tutoring style helped spark a genuine interest in the subject matter. He has genuine interest in the child he tutors and goes out of his way to help them. My oldest daughter is now in college and he checks in on her to see if she needs any help or advice.

“We came to Intelligentsia for help when our son was struggling in middle school. Their help was invaluable. They gave us the right tutors at the right time, from organization and writing to the ACT and Calculus! Tutoring was never a chore for our son, and it made our home life less stressful because it allowed us not to have to nag him about school work! Our son is now a college freshman, doing very well and enjoying it greatly.

“Intelligentsia gave us an outstanding tutor for my 6th-grade daughter to help her through some comprehension and processing issues. She also helps my daughter read and write more effectively and better understand her math studies. When my daughter applied to a new school for the 6th grade, our tutor helped her prepare for the ISEE as well as the application process. She got into her first choice, and has been able to succeed there — without tutoring!”

I was initially skeptical about the benefit of one-on-one tutoring as test preparation for the SATs. However, after working with Eugene Netupsky, I realized that with an experienced tutor who can individualize the test prep process, it was hugely impactful.
We were incredibly impressed by Eugene’s expertise and ability to hone in on specific areas where he could improve my daughter’s test-taking abilities. My older daughter worked with Eugene to prepare for the SATs for several months before her original SAT test date in March of 2019. He also worked with my younger daughter who decided to apply to boarding school only a few weeks before she had to take the SSAT. In only a few sessions, he helped her to significantly improve her SSAT scores. He taught both of them strategies for time management, interpreting the questions, and he helped them to better understand the various types of questions and anticipate the potential pitfalls and misleading answers so they could quickly identify correct answers.
Due to COVID-19, my older daughter’s SAT was cancelled in March and she wasn’t able to take it again until October. Despite the delay and lack of focus in the months during the height of the pandemic, with the strong foundation and preparation from working with Eugene, my daughter went into the October SAT with confidence and scored in the high 1500s. We are so grateful to have found such a talented, enthusiastic, and kind tutor for our daughters. We highly recommend him!

“When my daughter began to struggle in her junior year, school administrators recommended that I contact [Intelligentsia]. [They] sent us two amazing tutors for my daughter, and personally oversaw their work. One covered Math, English and Physics with equal excellence — something I didn’t think would be possible to find — and another helped us with her SATs. Their help was invaluable. My daughter’s grades improved dramatically, and her SAT scores increased over 200 points from the first to the second exam!
[They] worked with my daughter on her college process, from selecting schools to discussing her essays to preparing for interviews. She was accepted Early Decision to her first school—a place that her school counselor said was a serious stretch for her!
Matt, Hilda, and their team were the motivating force behind my daughter’s success. Without their talent, friendship, perseverance, hard work, patience, enormous skill set, and genuine affection for my daughter, she would have had a far different experience in her last two years of high school. I am forever grateful for their participation in my daughter’s academic and personal life.”
