We start with a free practice test to identify strengths and areas for improvement, then match your student with a dedicated tutor who creates a customized plan focused on the specific sections and question types they need most. This personalized approach helps reduce test anxiety while building the confidence needed for private school admissions success.
We recommend starting SSAT/ISEE prep 3-4 months before your target test date, though some students benefit from beginning earlier if they’re applying to highly competitive schools in the Denver metro area. The best first step is scheduling a free practice test to establish a baseline score and determine how much preparation your child needs. Our tutors work with your family’s schedule and can adjust the pace based on application deadlines for schools like Kent Denver, Colorado Academy, or other private schools throughout Cherry Hills Village, Littleton, and the surrounding communities.
Your child will take a full-length practice SSAT or ISEE test that mirrors the actual testing experience, helping them become familiar with the format while providing valuable baseline data. We quickly analyze the results and schedule a free consultation to review your child’s performance across verbal, quantitative, and reading sections. During this meeting, we’ll discuss a personalized prep plan, recommend the right tutor match, and answer any questions about private school admissions testing.
