Parent Testimonials:

"Since moving from the West Coast to Manhattan, our two children have struggled with the demanding cirriculum of their new NYC school. Big Apple Tutoring, with their detailed knowledge of the school's classes and testing methods, exceeded our expectations. They are now back at the top of their class."

"Our tutor from Big Apple, helped my third grade daughter understand and actually enjoy solving her math homework. She looks forward to her weekly sessions with her tutor, and the progress has been reflected in her grades as well."

"Big Apple Tutoring has been a lifesaver for our family. Having moved from overseas, you guided us through the homeschooling process, took care of the administrative side and helped us tremendously in the application process for private school. We feel that our son is well prepared for next academic year and it is all thanks to your tutors. They became almost part of our family and we could not have been happier with them. They are all proactive, innovative, supportive and open minded people that tailored their teaching style to suit our son. He absolutely thrived..."

Study Skills for High School Students
Courses / Programs
Developing good study skills in high school will prepare you for academic success in college. Learning how to effectively manage your time, how to prioritize your work and how to retain important information are skills that will be of huge benefit to you throughout your life.

While you still have the support of your teachers in high school, you are expected to think for yourself and to take control of your learning. Whether you're a freshman or a senior, you can improve your study habits by making a few changes to your routine. Your academic success is entirely up to you!

Try to study in quiet environments that are free from distractions - you can't concentrate effectively if you are constantly being interrupted. Have a dedicated study area at home, and use your school library also. If you have disruptive classmates, try to sit as far away from them as possible so you can focus on your teacher.

Create an efficient and realistic study schedule for yourself and stick to it. Study for blocks of 20-50 minutes and make sure you take plenty of breaks. Try to be physically active during your breaks but make sure you return to your study!
Study Skills for High School Students:
- Time Management: Use planners, study plans & to-do lists to keep you on track.
- Self-discipline: Attend all classes and meet every deadline for assignments. Set aside time each day for study.
- Focus in class and listen attentively. If you don't understand something, ask questions!
- Effective note-taking: Make sure you record important points.
- Be organized: Keep all of your study materials in one place.
- Have a dedicated study area free of distractions.
