Intelligentsia, Inc. started with the desire to fill the gap between what schools offer and what students absorb by offering subject matter tutoring to increase and accelerate comprehension; however, Intelligentsia has since expanded to offer Academic Coaching and Tutoring, Admissions Consulting, and Test Prep in New York City, and now globally via the internet to students all over.
