About Long Island Regents Prep

Teacher-Owned & Operated Since 2009

Long Island Regents Prep was founded in 2009 by Michael Graziosi, Brad Seidman, and Dennis Urban, full-time social studies teachers in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District.

After preparing thousands of our own students for the New York State Regents Exams and AP Exams, we recognized a need for focused review beyond the classroom. We created our one-day review courses at Farmingdale State College to provide that essential bridge to success.

Expert Instruction for Regents and AP Success

In each of our review courses, students learn major course topics, practice real test questions, and acquire proven test-taking strategies:

Certified Instructors: All classes are taught by experienced New York State-certified teachers.

Intensive Format: We provide prepared review materials and practice problems during our focused weekend sessions from 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM.

Results-Oriented: Our goal is to ensure students not only pass but excel on their exams.

Serving Nassau, Suffolk, and NYC Families

Since 2009, we have served more than 7,000 students from Suffolk County, Nassau County, and New York City. Our growth is driven by word-of-mouth recommendations and the positive feedback we receive every year.

We are proud members of the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce and active participants in the local education community. Every year, we donate thousands of dollars in free classes to local schools and organizations.

An Affordable Alternative to Private Tutoring

At Long Island Regents Prep, we offer an affordable alternative to private tutoring that doesn’t compromise the quality of instruction.

Are you ready to succeed? We have the tools to help you excel on your Regents and AP exams.
