We proudly serve the surrounding communities of Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Flatbush, Crown Heights, East New York, Brooklyn Heights, and Downtown Brooklyn. Our teachers hold valid NYC Teaching/Training credentials, and we offer tutoring and academic coaching in subjects such as English, Math, Science, and History. We also provide college test prep classes for high school students.
Our primary goal is to ensure that each child reaches their highest potential. We go beyond traditional tutoring by providing academic coaching to help each child become a lifelong learner and ensure they are college- and career-ready. We tailor each child’s learning program based on a diagnostic test, which helps us address all aspects of learning, including organization, self-esteem, behavior modification, problem-solving, study skills, test-taking strategies, and time management.
Diagnostic Assessment
Jump-In uses a basic diagnostic assessment to assess each child’s academic strengths and areas for improvement. This helps us customize their learning program to maximize results. The assessment includes screening for academic knowledge in areas such as reading, writing, listening, vocabulary, and mathematics.
For our youngest learners, we focus on building early literacy skills, including reading, phonics, number sense, handwriting, and fine motor skills. We create a warm and nurturing environment that fosters curiosity and an eagerness to learn.
In this stage, students focus on developing reading, writing, math, study skills, and organization. We help students establish good work habits and organizational skills. Since reading, writing, and mathematics are emerging skills at this level, we customize each child’s academic program based on their diagnostic results.
As students progress into the upper elementary grades, they are required to use higher-order thinking skills. Critical reading and mathematical thinking become essential for academic success. Our program focuses on all academic subjects, with additional emphasis on study skills, test-taking strategies, and organization. We tailor each child’s academic program based on the results of our diagnostic assessment.
Transitioning from a single teacher to multiple teachers can be challenging for adolescents. With the Common Core State Standards placing more demands on students, our Advanced Intermediate Scholars program targets content areas like English, Math, Science, and History, while also focusing on test-taking strategies for each subject. We help students develop strong organizational skills and planning for projects and long-term assignments. Each program is customized based on the results of our diagnostic assessment.
College and Career Readiness is the main focus of our Advanced Scholars program. High school students face demanding Common Core State Standards, and they may need support in specific content areas like English, Math, Chemistry, and Physics. We provide instruction in all academic subjects, including advanced courses such as AP History, AP Chemistry, and others. In addition to subject mastery, Jump-In focuses on learning strategies, academic organization, test-taking practices, and building student confidence.
Standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and AP exams are crucial for college admissions. We offer individualized and small-group (2-on-1) preparation in these areas. Our approach is customized based on diagnostic assessments to identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses. In addition to test prep, we offer college admissions coaching to help students build their college resumes and prepare for higher education.
At Jump-In's Saturday Academy, our mission is to partner with both parents and students to achieve academic excellence while offering top-tier academic support. We strive to inspire and empower each scholar to reach their fullest potential and become the best version of themselves.
