One-on-one sessions of middle school academic tutoring, Middle Level SSAT, HSPT, and Middle and Upper Level ISEE

Middle School school academic tutoring:

When we’re working with students on their homework from another teacher’s curriculum, we do our very best to stay consistent with how the material is being taught in the classroom. We always customize our style and approach to the specific student we’re working with based on his or her preferred methods and modalities. 

Middle and Upper Level SSAT prep:

In SSAT tutoring sessions, tutors break down the question types in each section and teach the test taking strategies and techniques that go with them. Students learn the guessing strategy unique to the SSAT, dozens of frequently-appearing test vocabulary words, practice analogy strategies, break down both quantitative sections, build reading comprehension skills, learn time management for the essay, and more. This includes a licensed membership to IXL through Archimedes so that students can drill foundational skills, if needed.

Middle and Upper Level ISEE prep:

In ISEE tutoring sessions, tutors break down the question types in each section and teach the test taking strategies and techniques that go with them. Students learn dozens of frequently-appearing test vocabulary words, practice sentence completion strategies, break down the quantitative comparison section (question types most students have never seen), build reading comprehension skills, learn time management for the writing sample and more. This includes a licensed membership to IXL through Archimedes so that students can drill foundational skills, if needed.

HSPT prep:

We are thrilled to announce the completion of Accepted: The Ultimate Guide to Success on the HSPT – an interactive textbook designed to prepare students for the HSPT online and in-person. This includes a licensed membership to IXL through Archimedes so that students can drill foundational skills, if needed.

In HSPT tutoring sessions, students learn dozens of frequently-appearing test vocabulary words, master key grammatical concepts, memorize the math that needs to be memorized (percent to fraction equivalencies, number of pints in a gallon etc.), and internalize, early on, the essential rules of the standardized-test-taking game.

One-on-one sessions of middle school academic tutoring, Middle and Upper SSAT prep, Middle and Upper ISEE prep, and HSPT prep are $70/hour. Test prep sessions are 1.5 hours long ($105 per session).
