Frequently Asked Questions
The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) is a standardized test used by independent and private schools to evaluate students applying for admission. Students in Denver take the ISEE when applying to selective private schools in the area, which use the exam to assess reading comprehension, mathematics, vocabulary, and reasoning skills. The test helps schools understand how students perform on standardized measures relative to other applicants, making strong ISEE performance an important part of the admission process.
ISEE preparation focuses specifically on test-taking strategies, question formats, and time management—skills that classroom instruction typically doesn't emphasize. Personalized tutoring for the ISEE allows tutors to identify a student's specific weak areas (whether that's reading inference, word problems, or quantitative reasoning) and target instruction to those gaps. With Denver's 14.4:1 average student-teacher ratio, classroom teachers often don't have time for this kind of individualized diagnostic work, making focused ISEE tutoring particularly valuable for students aiming to perform competitively.
The ISEE has four levels: Primary (grades 2-3), Lower (grades 4-5), Middle (grades 6-7), and Upper (grades 8-11). Your child's level is determined by the grade they'll be entering at the independent school, not their current grade. For example, a current 6th grader applying to 7th grade would take the Middle Level ISEE. When connecting with a tutor, it's important to clarify which level your child needs to prepare for so instruction is properly aligned to the content and difficulty.
Many Denver students struggle with reading comprehension passages that require inference and attention to detail, as well as math word problems that require translating English to equations. The ISEE's quantitative reasoning section is also particularly challenging for students unfamiliar with analogies and logic puzzles. Additionally, time management is a frequent issue—students often know the content but run out of time before completing sections. Personalized tutoring can address these specific obstacles through targeted practice and strategy refinement tailored to each student's needs.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of preparation, starting with a diagnostic assessment to identify strengths and weaknesses. Students typically work with a tutor for 1-2 sessions per week, supplemented by practice between sessions. The exact timeline depends on your child's starting level and target score, as well as how much independent practice they're able to complete. Varsity Tutors can help create a personalized prep timeline when you connect with a tutor who can evaluate your child's specific needs.
Denver has several selective independent schools that use the ISEE for admissions, including prominent institutions across the metro area. If you're looking for a list of schools that accept the ISEE in Denver, your first step is to check with your target schools directly or consult the ISEE's school finder tool. Once you know which schools you're applying to and their ISEE requirements, a tutor can tailor preparation to align with those specific schools' expectations and competitiveness levels.
Yes. Research on personalized 1-on-1 instruction shows significant gains when tutoring targets specific skill gaps rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. For the ISEE, this means a tutor can focus intensively on your child's weakest areas—whether that's geometry, reading inference, or pacing—rather than spending time on concepts they already understand. Many students see measurable score improvements of 5-15 percentile points when working with an experienced ISEE tutor over an 8-12 week period, particularly when they're committed to practice outside of tutoring sessions as well.
