Co-op City Tutors Come To You
Co-op City stands apart from other neighborhoods in the boroughs of New York City, and indeed, the rest of the United States, for its distinction as the largest housing development in the entire country. Co-op City has grown so much that what was once a housing development of a few apartment buildings has grown into its own community, with 35+ apartment high-rises and townhomes that make up this small corner of the Bronx.
In the mid-1960s, Co-op City was conceived as a project for the city to serve its low-income residents. Built on a former amusement park’s grounds, Co-op City was originally named “Cooperative City,” but has since had its name shortened. Its given name, and current name too, are appropriate for the vision of this community. They conjure up images of residents helping one another, forging neighborly bonds, and working as a tight-knit enclave to make collectively make a living, often working in other neighborhoods and cities and commuting to get there. Living in state-subsidized housing has eased financial burdens for everyone who resides in Co-op City, and has given over 35,000 people the chance to purchase their own apartments or townhouses for a fraction of their market value. With a foot in the economic door, citizens in Co-op City can become upwardly mobile.
By all accounts, Co-op City residents create a strong sense of community; each new family or individual who wants to purchase within the development must be vetted by those on the housing board, and once they are approved, they also join in participatory living to help keep Co-Op City an idyllic place to live. Parks, bike paths, and other amenities of comfort line the streets, so the only potential commute many residents must undertake is for work and work alone. Residents who have been profiled by such publications as The New York Times report that Co-Op City is a tranquil place to live, with minimal stress, and perfect for small families looking to put down roots. This ideal environment, unlike so many other housing developments across the country, is formed by the spirit of cooperation that has been alive in Co-Op City since its founding.
Tutors in Co-op City are another important factor in this growing community—like the state-subsidized housing that makes up the development, Grade Potential saw a need for increased academic success in its residents and provided it in this little enclave. Tutors in Co-op City work hand in hand with their clients to turn bad grades around and instill a sense of self-confidence in each student they come across. With confidence in place, the youth of Co-op City can pursue their schoolwork with renewed zeal, making this special place in the Bronx an even more harmonious place to live.

TESTIMONIALS
Grade Potential exceeded every expectation
"We are extremely happy with her and how she's engaged with our kiddos, getting them to progress well with their studies. She is an answer to our prayers! We are all very happy with her and she's not too hard on them, and has a great reward system that allows her to be flexible with what they need to work with them on. She's very punctual and flexible! She is able to reach them in a way that we haven't been able to."
"Our tutor Hallie was excellent, went above and beyond, she was so great."
"We're so proud that our daughter was named Valedictorian! She had a 98 average and raised it to 100. At first, she was hesitant to start tutoring since she wasn't struggling, but I told her Grade Potential isn't just for students who are failing."
"Our tutor is excellent, receptive, accommodating, and a super tutor. Our grandson absolutely loves her and she has gone above and beyond for his education. We could not be happier!"
"Our tutor is great! My son has improved drastically!"
"I just wanted to say our tutor is amazing! I feel like we got really lucky with her, she has been such a great help, and is very professional."

"Everything is going great! My kiddo is making steady progress in math each week!"
"I just can't say enough good things about it. While It would have been enough to just pass the TEAS test, she aced it. I appreciate the help. Riva did so well. She completed the test in 2 hours and 45 minutes. Riva is so excited, she is so happy. We called the tutor and told her thanks and in the future, I will gladly use you."

"We loved our former experience with our tutor for our high schooler so much that we wanted to get tutoring for our elementary schooler. She was so patient and kind and was able to reach him in a way that we just couldn't. We saw how great of a positive impact it was for our older son that when our elementary schooler started to need some support, we knew exactly who to call."
"My daughter says James has been phenomenal! He has been very accommodating to our schedule, is very respectful of our home, and my daughter went from an F to a B! My daughter said she has learned more from the tutor in the sessions she has had with him, than she ever has with her professor!"

"Our tutor is connecting very well and we are seeing progress with our grand daughter!"
"I am extremely appreciative of Tutor Hero. Ryan was very down to earth and matched me with an excellent tutor who was able to prepare me for the Civil Service Exam. My tutor, Jacqueline, was amazing! She was patient, detailed and well versed in the material. I felt confident and well prepared for the exam. Thank you - Tutor Hero!"
"The tutor and our son connected very well and he actually started looking forward to sessions which is a huge improvement we have seen in him!"

How does the process work?
Families share goals and scheduling preferences through a short intake. That information becomes a learner profile. Grade Potential then introduces your profile to a professional independent tutor whose background aligns. Once the tutor accepts, you’re introduced directly and sessions can begin.
How is pricing handled?
Our packages are highly customizable based on your budget, preferred session cadence, time frame, location, and a few other factors. You’ll be presented with clear pricing before you begin. We support families in choosing the session length and cadence that works best for their individual situation; no hard sales tactics and no obligation to purchase a long-term package.
How soon can sessions start?
Typically within 2-3 business days, depending on subject, location, and schedule availability. Urgent timelines are noted in your profile so introductions prioritize your timing.
Where do sessions take place?
In-person at home or another convenient, quiet, safe location (like the local library). When families need flexibility, online sessions are also available.

Experienced, professional independent tutors with strong subject knowledge and a track record of working one-on-one with students. Many hold degrees in their fields; some are certified teachers or graduate students with specialized expertise.

Support spans elementary through college across all core subjects (math, reading, writing, science, languages) plus test prep (e.g., SAT/ACT, AP, GRE) and many electives.
