ISEE TEST PREP
Many of NYC’s top independent schools require students to take the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam). The ISEE tests students on Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics Achievement. Our seasoned test prep tutors help students learn the ISEE concepts and skills they’ll need to succeed, while also building their confidence and motivation.
Depending on their grade level, students take a Primary, Lower, Middle, or Upper Level ISEE.
The Primary Level is for students currently in grades 1, 2, and 3 who are candidates for grades 2, 3, and 4.
The Lower Level is for students currently in grades 4 and 5 who are candidates for admission to grades 5 and 6.
The Middle Level is for students in grades 6 and 7 who are candidates for admission to grades 7 and 8.
The Upper Level is for students in grades 8 through 11 who are candidates for admission to grades 9 through 12.
Register for an ISEE Mock Test
Curious about your student’s starting point? Register now for a proctored mock exam! Taking a practice test under test-like conditions establishes a baseline and helps pinpoint areas for improvement. The results provide valuable insights that guide our tutors in delivering targeted instruction and help parents make informed decisions about their child's preparation.
If our proctored dates do not work with your student’s schedule, you may purchase a practice test to administer at home and send back to us for scoring.
TUTORING OPTIONS
Individual Sessions
Each weekly individual tutoring session runs for one hour and meets at the workshop. Let us know your child’s grade level, needs and interests, and we will pair him/her with the teacher who will provide the best support.
Small Group Sessions
Often, students need support in similar areas and can benefit from small group work and collaboration to advance their skills. Students in a group tutoring session must be in the same grade and at similar levels in their studies in order for the work together to be productive. Parents may propose a group of 2–4 students, and/or we can help coordinate with other students before matching the best tutor to facilitate the weekly hour-long session.
Online Sessions
Location is no longer a barrier. No matter where you live, we can find the perfect tutor for your child. Once you’ve found that tutor, you can stick with them, wherever you are and wherever they are.
