Personalized Tutoring
For Each Student

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.

What JST Students and Parents are Saying

The tutors at JumpStart are great -- they are knowledgeable, encouraging, and reassuring. We consulted with Matt -- who really knows his stuff about testing -- with both of our children. He worked with us to create a solid test prep program for both. With both, his tutors further developed their math skills in particular, filling in gaps that weren't covered in their school-based classes. Most recently, we worked with Matt and Lisa to design a 6-week crash course for SAT math -- and Lisa helped her achieve the improvement she needed for her college applications. The feedback and communication is always spot-on and Matt as the owner thinks a lot about a student's personality and needs in matching students with the right tutors.
Response from the owner:Hi Kathryn, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I am glad we were able to support both of your children in reaching their goal scores on their testing. In recent, I am so happy that we were able to set up a program for your daughter to help her improve her SAT math score. Thank you for confiding in me to help create a structured plan to get the numbers up in the 6-weeks that we had! We are all so proud of her success on the recent SAT exam and I am glad Lisa was able to make it happen during the sessions! Please feel free to reach out if you need anything else! We will definitely miss the Gazsos! Best, Matt and the JST Team
We are thrilled with Jump Start Tutoring. My son saw a 260 point increase for his SAT from their targeted and effective help. The instructors provided the tools and test-taking skills necessary while also being patient and encouraging. We cannot thank Jump Start Tutoring enough!
Response from the owner:Hi Denise, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so proud of your son's recent increase on his first SAT exam! Amazing! I am glad that the tutors supported him with the strategies, tactics and tips needed to increase his score. Now he told me he's going for more! Really proud of his dedication and motivation. We are so happy for him and are definitely pulling for another jump on round 2! Best, Matt and the JST Team
I just wanted to share how thrilled we are with Jump Start Tutoring. My daughter joined their math and English classes, and the results have been fantastic. She did amazingly well on her SATs, and I truly believe the engaging and thorough tutoring she received was a big part of her success.

We're so grateful for the positive impact Jump Start Tutoring has had on Elena's academic journey.

I highly recommend Jump Start Tutoring to any parent looking for top-notch educational support for their child. Thanks a ton for all your hard work and dedication!

Please feel free to reach out if you guys need anything else! Hopefully see you at one of your stores soon! Best, Matt and the JST Team
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Jump Start Tutoring for SAT prep. Before starting the program, we were concerned about our son's test scores, but the tutors helped him increase his score by 300 points! They created a customized plan that targeted his weaknesses and improved his confidence. The tutors (we used Rolando and Manuela) were knowledgeable and supportive. The owner, Matt Warshay was truly invested in our son’s success. We are so grateful for the outstanding results and have recommended Jump Start to all our friends.
Response from the owner:Hi Nicole, Thank you so much for the amazing review! We are so proud of your son's 300 point improvement. I know he wants to take it again to improve even more! I really commend his hard work and motivation! Please feel free to reach out if you guys need anything. We are thrilled with your son's growth on the SAT and are happy that you felt the program was effective. Best, Matt and the JST Team
We have utilized Jump Start Tutoring for all six of our children since 2018, and we have continued to rely on their expertise and guidance again in 2020, 2021, 2023 and finally this current year 2025 for our youngest two who are currently juniors. Matt and his staff have been nothing short of professional, knowledgeable and results driven. Time after time all six of our children have not just increased their scores but they developed the rigor and confidence to do their individual best. We’ve experienced incredible gains on both SAT exams as well as marked jumps on the ACT. We are extremely pleased with all of the tutors and with our overall experience with Jump Start. We highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We loved working with all six of your children and will truly miss the Gjelajs now that the final two twins are finishing up. We are super proud of all that they have accomplished thus far! It has been a pleasure working with you guys and we hope the crew will come by and visit again in the future at some point. I am sure I will see you guys around town or maybe I'll get lucky and bump into Anthony and Mark on the golf course! All the best, Matt and the JST Team
My daughter was preparing for the ACT test and she tried another company through her school which fell very short. We were looking for in person tutoring, and she came across Jump Start. We could not have been happier with how well they prepared her for her test! When we met Matt, The owner, he Took the time to get to know my daughter and what her needs were. He then spent a considerable amount of time talking to us about the process how she could best prepare in a rather short amount of time and a strategy that worked best for her. He then matched her with tutors for both math and reading that he felt with best fit her personality. When we had to change her math tutor, it was absolutely no problem and seamless. We were so happy with how Matt and the staff at Jump Start worked with us, that we started SAT tutoring for our younger daughter and math tutoring for our son. We really found them to be caring, invested in the needs of the kids and doing their best to set them up for success. To have three children with very different personalities, as well as learning styles and find someplace that is not cookie cutter with its approach is a rarity. Jump Start Tutoring really takes a very individualized approach and we could not be happier with how well they have helped our children!
Response from the owner:Hi Nancy, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We are very proud of your eldest daughter's recent success on the ACT. I am personally happy to have provided tutors that have helped her feel more confident and achieve a score she could be proud of. We look forward to helping the next two children in line with any of their academic needs. Best, Matt and the JST Team
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.
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
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
