Frequently Asked Questions About Our ISEE & SSAT Prep Tutoring Services in North Jersey
How is Tutor Doctor's SSAT/ISEE prep different from test prep centers in North Jersey?
Unlike group classes at test prep centers, Tutor Doctor provides personalized one-to-one tutoring that adapts to your child’s specific strengths and areas for improvement. We start with a free practice test to understand exactly where your student stands, then match them with a tutor who creates a customized prep plan focused on their target schools. Our tutors come to your home in Fair Lawn, Ridgewood, Paramus, or anywhere in North Jersey, making prep convenient and stress-free for busy families.
When should my child start preparing for the SSAT or ISEE?
Most students benefit from starting SSAT/ISEE prep 3-4 months before their test date, though this varies based on your child’s baseline performance and target schools. We recommend beginning with a free practice test as early as possible to establish a clear timeline and identify which areas need the most attention. Since private school admissions deadlines typically fall between December and February, many North Jersey families start prep in late summer or early fall.
How does the free SSAT/ISEE practice test work?
Your child takes a full-length practice SSAT or ISEE test in a comfortable setting, either at home or online. We provide a detailed score report that breaks down performance by section and question type, not just raw scores. During your free consultation, we’ll review these results together and design a personalized tutoring plan that targets your child’s specific needs and aligns with their school application goals.
What SSAT/ISEE scores do North Jersey private schools typically look for?
Each private school weighs SSAT/ISEE scores differently, and competitive scores vary by grade level and school selectivity. Rather than focusing solely on hitting a specific number, we help students demonstrate consistent improvement and perform at their personal best. Our tutors are familiar with admissions expectations at area schools and work to build both the skills and confidence students need to succeed on test day and throughout the admissions process.
Do you offer in-person SSAT/ISEE tutoring throughout North Jersey?
Yes! We provide in-home, one-to-one SSAT and ISEE tutoring throughout North Jersey, including Franklin Lakes, Glen Rock, Ho-Ho-Kus, Midland Park, Wyckoff, Ramsey, and surrounding communities. Your tutor comes directly to your home at times that work with your family’s schedule, including evenings and weekends. We also offer online tutoring for families who prefer that option or need additional flexibility.
