Jump Start Tutoring Provides the Individualized Attention Every Student Needs.

Jump Start Tutoring was founded in 1998 to assist students, as well as their parents, cope with today’s challenging and ever-changing academic climate. In this respect, JST has become an essential aid to families helping to prepare, not only for subject or college exams, but for the entire process of selecting a college.

While we focus primarily on in person tutoring, if a student is sick or cannot get transportation to the office, or inclement weather, we provide remote access for FaceTime/Zoom tutoring.

Jessica Constantine
Jump Start Tutoring has helped my two children reach their full potential while feeling supported and prepared throughout the entire test taking process. Both children made gains of 190+ points on the SAT! Matt has always made himself available to us, strategizing and answering any questions. I highly recommend Jump Start!
Response from the owner:Hi Jessica, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so pleased to see that both of the children achieved great SAT results! I appreciate the kind words and am glad that you found me to be readily available to help. Thank you again for the recommendation! I will continue to support you and the boys with anything you need and will continue to help you guys navigate the entire test prep and college admissions process. Best, Matt and the JST Team

Rude staff
Response from the owner:I am personally sorry you felt that the staff at Jump Start was rude. While we never actually got to work with your child, I recall your frustration in our phone conversation and felt that we resolved the issue with our text thread where I provided useful recommendations and you thanked me for the help. We have tutored hundreds of children over our 28 years of operation and always strive to have the students and parents have an outstanding experience. We would welcome the opportunity to engage in a productive conversation to resolve any further concerns you have with Jump Start.
Alexandra Portner
We’ve had a truly wonderful experience with JumpStart Tutoring over the past nine years. They have supported all three of our children through SAT and ACT preparation as well as high school tutoring, consistently providing expert guidance, encouragement, and results. The tutors are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in each student’s success. In particular, Matt Warshay, the President, has been incredibly supportive, responsive, and caring throughout our experience always going above and beyond to ensure our children had the right resources and confidence to succeed. JumpStart has been an invaluable partner in our children’s academic journeys, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Response from the owner:Hi Alex, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We love the Portners and will miss having them at the office. All the kids have been great to work with and they have all put forth great efforts to improve their SAT and ACT scores. We are so proud to have been a small part of their academic success. We are confident that all the kids will crush it in college and beyond! Best, Matt and the JST Team
Maria White
My son had such a great experience at Jump Start! From the beginning, it was a seamless process to figure out which test to take, come up with a schedule/plan and pick tutors. There are two tutors that you work with - one for English and the other for math/science. The tutors he had were a great fit and were flexible and able to work on his problem areas. Matt, the owner, is very hands on and responsive. My son improved his score 10 points not only through his hard work, but because he had the right tools and guidance. Cannot recommend this business enough!
Response from the owner:Hi Maria, Thank you so much for great review! We are so proud of your son's hard work and determination! Although he did great on the first round he did not give up and continued to work hard to achieve the score he wanted! Amazing! The 10 point improvement was just awesome! We wish him continued success with college acceptances. Please feel free to reach out if he needs anything else throughout senior year. Best, Matt and the JST Team
Marc Swenson
My son's SAT score increased significantly after working with the team here. His tutors Tonianne and Katie were excellent in every way--very knowledgeable, communicative and patient.
Response from the owner:Hi Marc, Thank you for the great review! We are so proud of your son's recent success on the SAT! I'm glad that Tonianne and Katie were both good fits and that they were able to help make the difference to improve your son's scores! Best, Matt and the JST team
Melissa Kleinman
We had a great experience with Jump Start for SAT tutoring. Matt was so easy to work with and helped us select the right tutor. My son worked with Abhik, who was fantastic—patient, supportive, and really skilled at breaking down the verbal section. Thanks to his guidance, my son’s score improved significantly and he felt much more confident. Also, we really appreciated the detailed progress reports. Highly recommend Abhik & Jump Start!
Response from the owner:Hi Melissa, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I am glad Abhik was able to help your son greatly improve his SAT verbal score. I am so proud of your son's success and am glad the progress reports provided the information you needed to stay updated on your son's growth throughout the process. Looking forward to meeting the next Kleinman down the road! Best, Matt and the JST Team

Tracy Dudgeon
We used JST for test prep and general tutoring. Matt took the time to get to know us and find the best tutor matches for each of our kids. All the tutors they worked with are fantastic. Not only did test scores improve with focused attention in the area of struggle, but the added general tutoring in those areas led to an incredible confidence and performance boost in the classroom. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with JST!
Response from the owner:Hi Tracy, Thank you so much for the great review! I am glad both boys improved on their test prep and their within their academics. They both worked hard and were truly motivated to get good grades. I am also glad we were able to find the right fit tutor matches for both of them. Thanks for entrusting in us and for staying the course until the finish line! I was especially confident that they would hit their goal scores and they both did! Feel free to reach out if either of the boys need anything throughout the rest of high school and into their college years. Best, Matt and the JST Team
Charlene Spillane
We have been incredibly pleased with our experience at JST. From our initial consultation through test day the staff at JST have been professional, knowledgeable and so encouraging. Our daughter enjoyed working with her tutors and was able to increase her score in all 4 subject areas of the ACT. The plan, the execution and the communication are flawless. Thank you Matt, Hannah and Scott!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Charlene, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I can speak on behalf of all of us and say that we loved working with you and your family. Your daughter worked incredibly hard and we are so proud of her success! I am happy that the process worked well for you guys and your daughter was able to improve all sections of her ACT.

Testimonials

We have sent four of our daughters through Jump Start over a 10 year span. They were excellent and professional. Oldest daughter got into NYU and is now in medical school. Second daughter got into Fordham’s Gabelli Global Business school, worked for JP Morgan and now applying to law school. The third one got into the ischool at Syracuse University and just got accepted to her Ernst and Young internship for cyber risk management this summer. And our last one got a 30 on her first attempt ACT (8 point jump from baseline). She plans to take it two more times. The secret is for your child to work hard with the tutor and complete all assigned work. If your child works hard, you can’t go wrong with JumpStart.
Basil KocurBronxville High School
My husband and I highly recommend JumpStart Tutoring. Founder Matt is professional, efficient, and well informed. Based on practice SAT and ACT tests JumpStart supervised, Matt recommended that our high school junior take the ACT as that matched the strengths of our child. He guided us on areas of focus and recommended two stellar tutors (Abhik C. for English/Reading and Lisa N. for Math/Science) for weekly tutoring sessions leading up to the ACT. Both tutors are engaging and highly knowledgeable. Our child's composite score went up substantially with many competitive universities and merit scholarships now in range. We could not be more pleased!
Anne WithanEHastings High School
Jump Start Tutoring, thanks so much for all the help you’ve given my kids over the years. JST has provided tremendous help throughout their high school years, especially with the SATs. We couldn’t believe our son’s score and have JST to thank for that! And now with my daughter, I can’t thank you enough for all the help!
Eastchester Parent Tuckahoe High School
My daughter’s experience with Jump Start Tutoring was very beneficial. The tutors were excellent-accommodating, friendly and professional in every way. They taught her how to prepare for the SAT’s by working on strategies and building confidence. She increased her combined score by 220 points!! Thank you.
Tony & Marie BuonocoreHastings High School
Jump Start Tutoring, run by Matt Warshay, is a very professional service with a personal touch. The tutors at Jump Start personalize their approach to each student’s strength’s and weaknesses. They helped my daughter decide that the ACT was a better choice for her than the SAT. With their focus on her areas of weakness, they were able to steer her to achieve a very successful score. I was very pleased with the results and would recommend Jump Start.
