Preparation for the ISEE and SSAT private school entrance tests: verbal and quantitative reasoning, reading and math.
Focused preparation
Sessions cover the skills the tests measure, with practice in the test format and tutors on hand to help when your child gets stuck.
Verbal and quantitative reasoning
Vocabulary, analogies and the reasoning questions both tests use.
Reading, math and the essay
Comprehension, grade-level math, and a clear, well-organized writing sample.
Test-day confidence
Timed practice in the test format, so the real thing feels familiar and manageable.
The ISEE and SSAT are admission tests used by many independent and private schools. Both cover verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning or math, and reading comprehension, and both include a writing sample that is sent to schools. Each test has levels for different grades.
Students applying to independent or private schools that ask for ISEE or SSAT scores, usually in the year before they would start.
Starting from where your child is, the sessions are built for the test and level they are taking. Tutors build the underlying skills first, then add timed practice in the test format.
Skills, not tricks. Strong reasoning and reading skills are what the tests reward.
The right test and level. Preparation matches the test your child’s schools require.
A positive experience. We keep preparation encouraging, so your child goes in confident.
Our tutors get to know your child's current work: the strengths to build on and the gaps to close.
Sessions target the content, skills and question types your child will be assessed on, with practice in the format they'll sit.
You’ll see how your child is tracking through regular updates drawn from assessments, tutor observations and student feedback.
Tutors check in throughout each session, so when something is tricky your child gets extra help on the spot.

Questions about ISEE & SSAT preparation? Here are the ones families ask most. For anything else, your local centre is happy to help.
It depends on the schools you are applying to. Some accept either test, others ask for one. Check each school’s admission requirements.
Most students test in the fall or winter of the year before they would start at the new school. Check each school’s deadlines.
The writing sample is not scored, but it is sent to the schools you apply to, so it matters. We help students plan and write a clear, well-organized response.
No preparation can guarantee admission to a particular school, and we will never promise one. What we can do is build the skills the ISEE and SSAT assesses and help your child walk in calm, prepared and able to show what they know.
We meet your child where they are. Rather than building a separate personalised program, our tutors work with your child on the skills and question types the test covers, with practice under test conditions, so they walk in prepared and confident.
Membership is billed weekly with no lock-in contracts. You can cancel with just 2 weeks notice and pause at any time.
