Tutoring with heart
Our Philosophy
We get it.
There's too much testing in education these days. But testing doesn't have to be painful. With the right approach, it can actually be fun, increase self-confidence, and open doors to exciting new academic opportunities.
It all starts with compassion.
​
At CTP, we meet students where they are with highly customized and dynamic support that gets results without anxiety. Do we actively push our students to succeed? Yes. Do they always love the work? Of course not. But with constant open communication and flexible pedagogy, we get students through the process as quickly, successfully, and enjoyably as possible.

As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful for Josh’s incredible support and guidance with my child’s education. From the very first session, it was clear that Josh is not only knowledgeable but cares deeply about his students. He has a unique ability to connect, making learning fun and engaging. Josh tailors each lesson to fit my child’s individual needs, helping her build confidence and mastery in subjects that were once challenging. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in both her grades and attitude toward learning. Josh has made a lasting impact, and I’m so thankful for his dedication and expertise. I highly recommend him to any parent looking for a tutor who wants to invest in their child’s growth, success, and academic engagement.
Sam R.
As a parent, I’m grateful for Josh’s help with my child’s precalculus. He simplifies complex topics like trigonometry, logarithms, and quadratics, making them easier to understand. Josh’s clear explanations have boosted my child’s confidence and grades. Precalculus, once intimidating, is now much more manageable. I highly recommend Josh to any parent seeking help with precalculus.
David T.
Josh was an amazing SAT tutor! He really took the time to figure out where I needed help and broke things down in a way that made sense. The SAT can feel overwhelming, but Josh made it way less stressful by teaching me test-taking strategies and helping build confidence in all sections— especially reading comprehension. Thanks to his help, my score went up by 210 points, and I feel so much more prepared for college.

My name is Josh
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I've been tutoring full-time since 2001. That's over 2000 students and counting. When it comes to test prep, I'm all about the data. From diagnosing students' mistakes as careless or expected to steering them to targeted online content review to contextualizing their performance within proprietary historical student data, I believe in a systematic approach. Tutoring in this way allows me to run more efficient sessions, help students build confidence, and deliver great score outcomes. Compassionate (and efficient) test prep means students can return to the extracurricular activities they love most sooner rather than later.
Tutoring specialties include SAT Prep, Trigonometry, AP English, Statistics, ACT Prep, Regents review, GMAT support, and much more.
