About
PLEASE NOTE MY RATE. Serious inquiries only, please: SERVICES: -SAT + ACT Prep (all sections) -Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions -Personal Statements -Professional Cover Letters + Resumes -And more! Hello! My name is Caroline Slutsky. I am an experienced and highly trained private professional tutor of 13 years, specializing in all sections of the SAT, ACT, and all aspects of College Admissions Prep. I am a Princeton graduate where I was an English major. I scored a 2350 out of 2400 on my SAT: 800 Reading, 800 Writing, 750 Math. LOGISTICS: I am based in NYC and I use Facetime for remote tutoring. I am very well-versed in remote tutoring as I have tutored exclusively remotely for many years, well before COVID-19. I am flexible as I tutor all 7 days a week. I provide all of the necessary materials. PAYMENT: Test Prep sessions are the standard 1.5 hrs and are prorated. One HIGHLIGHT of my test prep: I pride myself on having a lengthy list of important tricks and strategies that you are highly unlikely to find elsewhere as I have developed most of them myself. In fact, it is not uncommon that my students' scores improve an equivalent of 80-110 points on the SAT/3-4 points on the ACT after just ONE session. ADMISSION RESULTS: with my test prep and college admission prep, I am thrilled to have helped over 500 students over the years who have gained admission to top schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Northwestern, UMichigan, Dartmouth, Amherst, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, UPenn, and Tufts among likely every college (across ALL tiers) that you have heard of (please see more in my photos below). I stand by my work 100% and look forward to impressing my clients. I hope to help and discuss further!

We absolutely loved working with Caroline. My daughter met with her virtually for ACT prep and college essay support, and the difference she made was incredible. She brought so much energy, clarity, and encouragement to every session that my daughter actually looked forward to them.   Her ACT coaching was incredibly effective — practical tips, smart strategies, and the kind of encouragement that truly made a difference. My daughter ended up earning a 35 on her first ACT test as a junior, which helped tremendously with the college application process!   And the Common App personal essay and the supplemental essays she helped with were absolutely amazing. She worked with my daughter to find her authentic voice, shape compelling stories, and polish everything to a level that felt both impressive and genuinely hers.   And then the best part: she got into her dream school, Stanford, through REA! We’re still celebrating, and we know Caroline played a huge role in making that moment happen.   I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough. She’s knowledgeable, inspiring, responsive, and truly gifted at bringing out a student’s best work. If you’re considering working with her — do it. She’s phenomenal!

My daughter worked with Caroline on ACT prep. They first worked on determining which test (ACT/SAT) suits my daughter's skill set and then moved on from there. Caroline is very organized and has an exact method she has the student follow in order to master concepts. My daughter enjoyed working with Caroline. My daughter took the ACT two times and in her first attempt got a 34 combined (31 math, 36 english & 36 reading). In her second attempt she increased her math score to a 35. She now has a super score of 36. We highly recommend Caroline. We are now going to work with her on college app advisement.

Our son improved his SAT score by over 200 points by working with Caroline. We highly recommend her. We started with her SAT prep program but discovered she could help him with his Math homework and filling in some areas where he wasn't ready. Our son really enjoyed working with Caroline. She helped him improve his math grade and made him feel much more confident as well. This summer we resumed the SAT prep and he just got his results back. We are very happy with the results.

We had a wonderful experience with Caroline in helping prepare my son for the ACT. He improved his composite score by three points and several sections by even more! Caroline is very helpful in addressing the areas that need the most improvement and teaching strategies to help with test taking. I would highly recommend her!!
