Choose your tutor
Private SSAT/ISEE tutoring, 3 levels.
1:1 prep for two tests that play by different rules.
The SSAT and ISEE get bundled together, but they aren't the same test. The SSAT penalizes wrong answers, so knowing when to guess matters as much as knowing the material. The ISEE has no guessing penalty and separates reasoning ability from what your child has actually learned, two different skills scored two different ways. Private tutoring starts with a diagnostic built for whichever test your child is taking, then every session targets exactly what they need.
Most private school deadlines fall between December and January, a shorter window than most families expect.
How Tutoring Works
Three steps from request to results.
1
Tell Us About Your Child
Fill out the form. An advisor follows up within one business day to talk through your child's timeline, target schools, and which test and tutor level fit.
2
Get Matched
We match your child with an instructor experienced in whichever test, SSAT or ISEE, your child is taking. Sessions are scheduled around your calendar.
3
Start Preparing
Sessions start with a diagnostic built for that test's specific rules, then build from there. Every session targets what your child actually needs.
Why private tutoring
The most focused prep for competitive admissions tests.
Built for Whichever Test Your Child Is Taking
The SSAT and ISEE score differently and reward different instincts. Sessions start with a diagnostic that identifies which test fits your child, then build strategy around that test's actual rules, not a shared verbal-and-math review.
The Right Tutor for Where Your Child Is
Three tutor levels, priced by experience. A student already scoring well, where even small gains take real skill to unlock, benefits most from the more experienced levels. Not sure which fits? Talk to an advisor.
Flexible Scheduling
Sessions are built around your family's calendar and needs, in whatever setting works best for your child. With private school deadlines often falling between December and January, starting when your child is ready matters more than waiting for the next class to begin.
