Zack Gilman is an integral member of the Private Prep tutoring team. Over the past two years, Zack has helped students improve SAT Verbal scores, become more proficient in Spanish, and implement essential organizational skills.

Zack is originally from the Philadelphia metro area. He relocated to New York to attend New York University, where he majored in Romance Languages; focusing on Spanish and Portuguese.  While at NYU, he earned the distinction of a Presidential Scholar and graduated magna cum laude with high honors. Following graduation, Zack decided to follow his passion for education and joined Private Prep.

"Forging close relationships with students is what really makes me passionate about tutoring. It's also what makes me successful. The academics are one thing, but personality is a huge factor as well. The obvious benefit of a private tutor is the personal attention and part of that is finding a connection with the student as well as the family. Private Prep supports the very personal approach that I believe is crucial in one-on-one tutoring."

Currently, Zack tutors middle and high school students in academic subjects (Spanish, English, History), verbal test prep and study/organizational skills. He also works with younger children at education-based birthday parties at the Museum of Natural History and the Central Park Zoo. A trained actor, Zack has performed in off-Broadway shows, independent films and at improv comedy venues around New York City.
