Who’s Ari?

Hi there— I’m Ari Shapiro, and I’m so very excited that you’re here. Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, I graduated (with honors!) from Northwestern University, where I double majored in Political Science and Theatre. After a year in Louisville post-grad, I found my way to New York, where I started my tutoring career in 2016 and never looked back.

I’ve worked with such test prep companies as Kaplan, Bee Tutored, TestTakers, and A-List Tutoring. But in 2019, I branched out on my own to start Ari Shapiro Tutoring and begin my path as a freelancer.

Outside of tutoring, I recently completed my MFA in Film from Columbia University. Other accolades include serving as Student Council President in high school, as well as captaining my coed Sunday pickup soccer team.

Hello!

“What if this isn’t a good fit for me?”

Tutoring isn’t for everyone, and my specific brand of tutoring isn’t for everyone. That’s ok! My main goal is to get you the tutor that works best with your student, whether that’s me or someone else.

Maybe that’s throwing away business, but I think it’s just doing the right thing.
