Frequently Asked Questions About Our ISEE & SSAT Prep Tutoring Services in Frisco & McKinney
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 create a customized prep plan focused on their target private schools. Our tutors come to your home or meet online, working around your family’s schedule while building the confidence and skills needed for private school admissions success.
Most students benefit from starting SSAT/ISEE prep 3-4 months before their test date, though this varies based on your child’s baseline skills and target schools. We recommend beginning with our free practice test as early as possible to establish a baseline and create a realistic timeline. Since many private schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have fall and winter testing deadlines, starting prep in the summer or early fall gives students the best opportunity to build confidence and master the test format.
Your child will take a full-length practice test that mirrors the actual SSAT or ISEE format, either at home or online. Within days, you’ll receive a detailed score report that breaks down performance by section and question type. More importantly, we’ll schedule a free consultation to review the results together, explain what the scores mean for your target schools, and design a personalized tutoring plan that focuses on the areas where your child can make the biggest improvements.
