  • "I have sent my first child to this prep school and am very satisfied. The principal, Daniel, is very friendly and approachable. They also care about the performance of their students and have provided in-depth explanations whenever there is a question. He has done very well on his SHSAT and SATs. I recommend this place!"

  • "Itempool disciplined me and helped me with my work ethic. After getting into college, I’ve realized how the good habits I’ve learned at Itempool come in handy. The environment at Itempool not only enables learning but also one of camaraderie. I visit Itempool, even now, just to visit the teachers and directors."

  • "Great learning experience. I sent my 2 children here at summer for SHSAT. The teachers are nice and they teach clearly and efficiently. 10/10 would come again. Also, the director(Daniel) advised well for each child."

  • “My son improved his test taking skills tremendously after a SHSAT prep class at Itempool during 2022 summer and he got accepted to the Bronx Science High school as he wanted in Sept 2023. The center has very attentive teachers and the communication between parents and the center is outstanding. I was always informed about the progress of my kid. Everyone I have interacted with at Itempool - the instructors and the principal -- is incredibly responsive and willing to go the extra mile to help with individual circumstances that may arise. Words cannot express my feelings of gratitude for Itempool and my son already said he wanted to go back to Itempool to take the PSAT prep program. I highly recommend it!
