Tutoring, Standardized Test Preparation & College Admissions

Why Choose A-List?

  • We have worked with thousands of students from all over the northeastern United States and as far afield as London, Paris and Hong Kong preparing them for both the SAT and ACT (Skype tutoring available).
  • Our SAT students improve their scores by hundreds of points--at times by 500 or more--and this success has been instrumental in securing acceptances to some of the country's most prestigious colleges.
  • We recognize the importance of pairing students, based on learning style and personality, to a tutor that is a perfect match. If the tutor isn't a good fit, we'll work to find someone else; and there's no risk involved: if you decide not to continue with us, your first session is FREE!
  • We write and research our own proprietary materials. A-List's SAT and ACT Books of Knowledge are not only being used by A-List students, but by students and educators across the country through our nonprofit partnerships and institutional professional development services. 
  • We're recognized as a test prep authority by schools, community-based organizations, and educational nonprofits. Administrators are choosing A-List to train educators to teach college entrance exams. 
  • We host regular practice tests on weekends--free for all of our clients. Practice diagnostic exams allow students to get comfortable taking exams in a real testing environment, and to implement the skills and techniques they're learning in their tutoring sessions. 

"My son had the privilege of working with A-list, specifically Scott Farber, in all aspects of his college preparation including SAT tutoring, college selection, and application essays. From the minute we met Scott, we knew we were in great hands; we whole heartedly believed in him and his passion for education and felt confident that our son would reach his potential under his guidance...Taylor worked diligently over the course of the year and his final SAT scores reflected that hard work, increasing well over 400 total points." -Mother of Taylor F. (Birch Wathen Lenox, 2012) +340 points | "...Sherwyn was extremely comforting and motivational, despite how many questions I got wrong and right that day. He will challenge you in a humorous way, but always take those challenges to heart. His lessons will forever impact my testing skills. He was the most amazing tutor, and I recommend him to anybody who is looking into A-List!" -Taylor H. (Great Neck North, 2013) +400 points | "...He could not have gotten the score he did on the SAT without Azusa's instruction and kind encouragement! Our son, Cory, was so pleased with the results that he wants to continue being tutored by Azusa for the SAT II's in math. Thank you so much for everything Azusa!" -Mother and Father of Cory W. (Jericho, 2013) +330 points |"John, I want to thank you for working with Will, AND John, AND Ned. It has been a lot of years. I am so grateful for having the good fortune to have found you and A-List. You made a very tedious exercise not only tolerable, but FUN! The boys always looked forward to your sessions! A hard thing to say about SAT/ACT prep! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you have done to help my boys succeed." -Mother of Will K. (Manhasset, 2013) | “A-List was the perfect choice for me. I’m so glad I did it!” -Jasmine Y. (Great Neck North, 2012) +420 points | "...I would highly recommend A-list to anyone who is looking for excellent tutors. A-list may be more expensive than other SAT prep classes, but the one to one tutoring made all the difference. I truly believe it is worth every cent.” -Mother of Brittany A. (East Meadow, 2012) +410 points | "I want to thank A-List and my tutor, Kyle Nunn, for preparing me for the SAT and ACT. Kyle is so nice and encouraging and I really learned a lot from the tutoring sessions. I love the humor in the textbook and vocabulary cards which are valuable tools to study with. Also, the option to take a practice exam each week was very beneficial because it improved my time management and my confidence in taking the SAT...Once again thank you A-List and Kyle! I couldn't have done this without you!" -Sara P. (Jericho, 2012) + 400 points | "Clay was one of the most eloquent, professional, insightful and motivating teachers I've ever had. A true intellectual in every sense of the term he makes you feel lucky he became a SAT tutor. My experience at A-List was superb. From their included weekly practice tests to their useful techniques there is truly no where else to go. Thanks for everything Clay!" -Cameron W. (Birch Wathen Lenox, 2012) +390 points | "I couldn't be more appreciative of all the help that A-List has provided for me, and would strongly recommend A-List to any future SAT or ACT takers!"-Evan S. (Roslyn, 2012) +340 points
