SSAT | ISEE Test Prep Tutoring
The SSAT and ISEE are key standardized tests for admission to independent day and boarding schools. For many students, these exams mark their first experience with high-stakes testing. We understand the stress and anxiety that can come with preparing for these tests, and we’re here to help every step of the way.
Expert Guidance, Personalized for Your Student
A strong SSAT/ISEE testing plan is tailored to each student’s unique needs, ensuring their well-being remains a top priority while balancing schoolwork. Our tutoring sessions focus on the content and strategies that will help students achieve their score goals. To support this, our Program Directors work closely with families to develop a thoughtful, individualized testing plan.
Our tutors are experienced, supportive, and skilled at working with this age group. They help students build their vocabulary, strengthen reading comprehension, refine writing skills, and enhance problem-solving and computational abilities—often giving them an academic edge in the classroom.
