Zinc Educational Services in New York City provides individualized tutoring, comprehensive college coaching, and test preparation for students across a wide range of academic subjects. Founded by former teacher Matt Bardin, Zinc was created with the belief that real learning—not shortcuts—is the key to student success. The team’s teaching philosophy centers on the L.E.A.R.N. principles: Love, Effort, Attention, Reading, and Numbers, aiming to foster both higher scores and lifelong academic confidence.

Zinc supports students from middle school through high school, offering expert guidance in academic subjects and preparation for major standardized tests including the SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT, IB, and AP exams. Services are available both in-person at their Manhattan office and online, making their programs accessible to students locally and globally.

What sets Zinc apart is their commitment to nurturing genuine understanding and long-term skills, rather than simply Test Day performance. Hundreds of students and families have relied on Zinc’s tutors and advisors to navigate the college admissions process and to gain acceptance at top-choice schools. With a strong reputation for professionalism and positive results, Zinc Educational Services welcomes students and families searching for meaningful and effective tutoring solutions.
