Poly Ed is a tutoring service in New York City specializing in STEM education for students from elementary to high school. Founded by Andrew Sabatino, an educator with over 15 years of experience and degrees in electrical engineering from Columbia University, Poly Ed offers both small group classes and personalized individual instruction.

At the heart of Poly Ed’s mission is a commitment to helping students understand the connections between mathematics, science, engineering, and technology, fostering both subject mastery and an appreciation for how these disciplines shape the modern world. The teaching approach is hands-on and interdisciplinary, encouraging deep immersion and critical thinking.

Poly Ed’s offerings cover a wide range of subjects, including mathematics (from elementary problem solving to advanced topics like number theory), robotics and coding (Scratch, Python, Arduino, Lego Mindstorms), science and engineering (with a focus on practical projects), as well as test preparation for exams such as the SAT, ACT, SHSAT, ISEE, AP tests, and NYC Regents. Instruction is adapted to each student’s interests and needs, and the curriculum often goes beyond standard classroom material, with enrichment options like math circles and Olympiad-level content.

Classes are intentionally kept small to provide personalized attention and a supportive learning community. Poly Ed operates out of a welcoming classroom on the Upper West Side and regularly fills to capacity, reflecting strong demand and positive student outcomes. Families seeking a tailored, STEM-focused tutoring experience are invited to explore Poly Ed and discover a place where curiosity and growth thrive.
