Holistic
We approach test prep from a child-centric perspective, and are sure to cater to the needs of the human we’re working with, not only the student. We don’t try to make a child’s life fit into a test prep program; we make sure that test prep fits comfortably into a child’s life.

Executive Functioning
Our esteemed executive functioning program is interwoven into our test prep, ensuring that students will gain lifelong skills on their way to achieving their optimal SHSAT score. We’ll help you change schools, and we might just change your life along the way.
OUR APPROACH
A Hartman Tutor worked with both my son and daughter, and helped each one get into Stuyvesant. Not an easy task! My kids couldn't be happier to be where they are now, and there is no way they could have done as well on that test if it weren't for the tutor Jesse and Alice paired them with. Professional, fun and effective. 5 stars!

The SHSAT
The Specialized High School Admissions Test is the sole admissions criteria for gaining admission to NYC’s specialized high schools (with the exception of LaGuardia High School, which requires an audition). All eighth or ninth grade students, who are current residents of NYC, are eligible to take the exam.
