ISEE tutoring for LA's independent schools.
Most Los Angeles private schools weigh the ISEE alongside the application and the interview. We prep your student to walk in calm and finish on time, with the verbal and quantitative reasoning skills the test actually measures.
The students we tend to do best with.
Right for families applying to Harvard-Westlake, Marlborough, Brentwood, Crossroads, Marymount, Polytechnic, Buckley, Curtis, Campbell Hall, and similar schools.
Four things every ISEE engagement includes.
The right level, well prepped
We prep Lower Level (entry to grades 5 to 6), Middle Level (grades 7 to 8), and Upper Level (grades 9 to 12 application). Each level is a different test and we treat it that way.
Verbal reasoning, the hard part
Synonyms and sentence completion reward vocabulary that does not get explicitly taught in school. We build a focused word list and quiz it the way the test does.
Quantitative reasoning, not just arithmetic
The QR section tests logic and estimation more than calculation. Our tutors teach the shortcuts that turn 30-second problems into 10-second ones.
Essay coaching, no formula
The unscored essay is read by the admissions office. We coach a clear voice, a real argument, and a confident finish, not a template.
A plan you can read in a paragraph.
Eight to fifteen hours over a six to ten week window is the sweet spot for most students. We aim for honest stanine gains rather than overprepped ceilings, because admissions readers can tell the difference.
