Frequently Asked Questions About Our ISEE & SSAT Test Prep Tutoring Services
The SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test) and ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) are used by private and independent schools to assess students’ academic readiness for admission. Strong performance can also help with scholarship or placement opportunities.
We recommend starting three to six months before the test date. Early preparation helps students strengthen key academic skills, become familiar with the test format, and build confidence — especially for those new to standardized testing.
Our one-to-one tutoring covers every section of the exam — reading, verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and writing. Students receive customized lessons, targeted practice, and strategies for pacing, problem-solving, and focus.
Unlike group courses that follow a fixed curriculum, Tutor Doctor’s SSAT and ISEE tutoring is completely individualized. Each student learns at their own pace, focuses on specific improvement areas, and receives continuous feedback from an expert tutor.
Yes. Our tutors create a calm, encouraging environment where students can practice under realistic conditions, learn self-management strategies, and approach test day with confidence and clarity.
Both exams test similar academic skills, but:
- The SSAT has a small penalty for incorrect answers and an unscored writing sample.
- The ISEE has no guessing penalty and uses a stanine (1–9) scoring system.
Your local Tutor Doctor team can help determine which test best fits your child’s goals.
