Why Online SHSAT Tutoring Works as Well as In-Person
NYC families know the truth about after-school logistics: a 60-minute commute to a tutor in Manhattan can cost a 7th grader two hours of homework time and most of their evening energy. Online SHSAT tutoring erases that tax. Students log in from their own desk right after school, finish the session, and move straight into dinner and assignments. For families in Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx, Long Island, New Jersey, and Westchester, that saved time is often the difference between a sustainable prep schedule and one that burns the student out before October.
During a typical Zoom session, Dr. Donnelly shares his screen to walk through SHSAT Math problems and ELA passages together with the student. He annotates reading passages in real time, highlighting the exact phrases that signal a correct answer, and works through algebra and geometry problems on a digital whiteboard the student can see and write on too. Every session is recorded with parent permission, so students can rewatch the explanation of a tricky problem the night before a practice test. The pedagogy is identical to in-person work with an Oxford Ph.D. who has tutored NYC students for over 20 years — only the delivery medium changes.
Setup is deliberately simple: a laptop or tablet with a working camera and microphone, a quiet workspace, the Zoom app, and a notebook or tablet for writing. That’s it. Year after year, Dr. Donnelly’s online students earn composite scores that match his in-person results, and several have gained admission to Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech without ever meeting him in the NYC office.
