Private school admissions, made calmer
ISEE Prep That Turns Practice Into Results
Personalized ISEE prep, designed by expert curriculum developers and taught by skilled tutors. Each session targets the question types your child finds most challenging, so practice stays focused, pacing improves and gains come from the areas that matter most on test day.
Why Prep With Us for the ISEE
Personalized from day one
Prep begins with a diagnostic exam that pinpoints where points are being lost. Each student then follows a custom plan built around those results.
Built by expert curriculum developers
Our ISEE program is designed by expert curriculum developers and structured by question type for the biggest score impact.
Focused, one-on-one instruction
Experienced tutors lead every session, targeting weak question types to improve timing, accuracy and confidence.
Complete ISEE Section Prep
The Lower, Middle and Upper Level ISEE share the same five sections, with questions matched to the grade your child is applying to. We prepare your child for the level they will take.
| Section | What practice can involve |
|---|---|
| Verbal Reasoning | Synonyms and sentence completions. Students build vocabulary in context and learn to rule out wrong answers quickly. |
| Quantitative Reasoning | Math reasoning and comparison questions. Practice focuses on spotting what a question is really asking and estimating before calculating. |
| Reading Comprehension | Short passages across subjects. Students practice finding the main idea, supporting evidence and the author’s purpose on time. |
| Mathematics Achievement | Grade-level math skills. Sessions close gaps in the topics schools expect, then add timed practice. |
| Essay | One timed essay, unscored but sent to every school. Practice covers planning, a clear structure and writing neatly under time pressure. |
How It Works
Step 1
Consultation and diagnostic
Start with a consultation and a diagnostic exam to understand academic needs, goals and timelines. This helps us match your child with the right tutor.
Step 2
Personalized tutor match
Students are matched with a tutor by subject needs, learning style and schedule. The right fit means faster progress, better focus and results you can see sooner.
Step 3
Customized after-school plan
The plan is built from the diagnostic results and organized by question type. Each lesson targets the exact skills being missed, with clear goals and focused practice.
Step 4
Ongoing support and progress updates
Regular check-ins and progress updates show families what is improving, what still needs work and how the plan adjusts as the test date gets closer.

Frequently asked questions
Which ISEE level will my child take?
The level depends on the grade your child is applying to enter: Lower Level for grades 5 and 6, Middle Level for grades 7 and 8, and Upper Level for grades 9 to 12. Younger applicants take the Primary Level.
When should my child start ISEE prep?
Most families start 3 to 6 months before the test date. That leaves time for a diagnostic, focused practice and full timed tests before admissions deadlines.
How is the ISEE scored?
Each scored section is reported as a stanine from 1 to 9, which compares your child with other students applying to the same grade. The essay is not scored, but schools read it.
Can my child retake the ISEE?
Yes, within limits set by ERB, the organization behind the test. Check the current retake policy and each school’s deadline before you register.
Is online ISEE prep effective?
Yes. Online sessions are live and one-on-one, with the same diagnostic, plan and progress updates as sessions at our Newport Beach office.
