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.

Jaclyn Smith
My daughter accomplished her goal ACT scores and really liked her tutors too. JST worked with our time line and made scheduling tutoring sessions super easy.
Response from the owner:Hi Jaclyn, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so proud of your daughter's recent amazing ACT score. We are glad the tutors were helpful in supporting her in reaching her goals. Please feel free to reach out if she needs anything else throughout the rest of junior year and/or during senior year. Best, Matt and the JST Team
Suekhee Choi
We had a great experience with JST. Our daughter truly enjoyed working with her tutors (Tonianne and Lisa). She worked very hard with their guidance and support and it paid off. She earned a perfect score! I would highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi Suekhee, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are all so proud of your daughter's perfect 36 on the ACT. We are glad that Lisa and Tonianne were able to help her get there! Please let us know if she needs any support on her college essays. We can't to hear about all of her college acceptances! Please keep us posted. Best, Matt and the JST Team
Lisa C
We cannot recommend Jump Start Tutoring highly enough. Matt and his team worked closely with our daughter, a high school junior, over the past 8 months to help her prepare for her college admissions exams.
From the initial diagnostic evaluation, which helped us choose the ACT over the SAT, to thoughtfully matching her with experienced tutors, every step of the process was tailored and effective. She received personalized, one-on-one, in-person tutoring ahead of her first exam, followed by more targeted support leading up to her second. The convenient location and flexible scheduling made the entire experience seamless.
Most importantly, the results speak for themselves: our daughter improved from a 31 on her diagnostic and first ACT to an outstanding 35 on her second attempt, including a perfect 36 in English. We’re confident she would not have achieved this without Jump Start Tutoring.
We’re incredibly grateful to Matt and our daughter’s tutoring team. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so proud of your daughter's recent success on the ACT. We were all so excited when we received the text with the 35! Your daughter worked extremely hard on the HWs, took all of the practice tests, followed the plan/process and entrusted in her tutors. We were all confident that she would improve further on the second attempt and she crushed it! Looking forward to seeing where she ends up with her college acceptances! Best, Matt and the JST Team
Brian Jacobs
Jump Start Tutoring was outstanding all around, from the initial meetings with Matt to our teen's weekly sessions with Hannah and Lisa. All three were dedicated and attentive, and we saw incredible results from their work. The work was uniquely personalized, with one-on-one sessions aimed at areas of individual need. Very highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Hi Brian, Great speaking with you earlier. Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy your daughter knocked it out of the park on the first run of her SAT. Thank you for entrusting in us. I am glad we were able to support her and work around her busy schedule to crush the exam. Please feel free to reach out if you guys need anything else! Best, Matt and the JST Team

Jump Start Tutoring has been our go-to tutoring center for all three of our children for years. From TACHS prep to ACT prep, as well as support in math and physics, their tutors consistently demonstrate strong expertise in their subjects. Our kids have always felt well-prepared for standardized tests, and we’ve seen steady improvement in their results over time. Highly recommend!

Testimonials

JST has been instrumental in the College Admission process for my family. Matt, the director, meets with you to discuss your goals. Through diagnostics, a solid plan is set up for success. The tutors are amazing, and JST customizes your experience. After you meet with Matt, he provides options for tutors that best match your child's learning style. The tutors were so wonderful and made sure my children were ready for their tests. They're flexible and always available to answer questions, which is key with teenagers and their ever-changing schedules. Our tutor for the Verbal portion of the SAT, was also incredibly helpful with college essay writing. Eastchester is lucky to have JST here in the community, I highly recommend Matt and his team!
Kathleen KielyEastchester Parent
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.
