Sacramento ISEE Tutoring FAQ
Part of the admissions process to many competitive private schools is submitting scores for the Independent School Entrance Examination, or ISEE. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can connect you with tutors in Sacramento, CA, who are skilled at helping students prepare for the ISEE. Your child's tutor can have sessions in your home, the library, a mutually agreed upon location, or face-to-face online. ISEE tests dates vary by year and location, giving your student's tutor ample time to meet them, assess their skill level, and develop a plan to best prepare them for the test. Their tutor can provide immediate feedback and assistance when working one-on-one with your student. Tutoring sessions can be tailor made to maximize the time allotted and focus on the areas of greatest need. We can find you an expert ISEE tutor in Sacramento who can work at a time that is most convenient for your student.
The ISEE has three levels: Lower (grades 4 and 5), Middle (grades 7 and 8), and Upper (grades 8-11). The administration of the exam takes approximately three hours. Lower level students may need to develop strategies to help them maintain consistent focus throughout the duration of the exam. Tests questions are similar over the levels but questions become increasingly more challenging at the higher levels. A tutor can be found to work with your grade level student that has specific knowledge of the tests at each level. We can find you a tutor in Sacramento who is as adept at performing well on the ISEE as they are at teaching it.
ISEE consists of five sections. Four of the five sections are multiple choice. The Verbal Reasoning focuses on synonyms and sentence completion. Your tutor can provide vocabulary instruction and practice. The Quantitative Reasoning part of the test focuses on numbers and operations, algebraic concepts, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability. Your tutor can provide many fun lessons about collecting a set of data and analyzing it. Lessons on probability can be applied to real life situations. The Reading Comprehension section will require your student to identify the main idea and supporting ideas; make inferences; vocabulary; organization and logic; and well as literary devices such as tone, style, and figurative language. Your ISEE tutor will have in depth knowledge of the skills to be tested and will use materials in tutoring sessions geared toward these skills. The Math Achievement section focuses on whole numbers, decimals, percents, fractions, algebraic concepts, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability. Finally your student could be given a prompt for an essay. Your tutor can provide sample prompts showing your student how to thoroughly read the prompt, organize their thoughts, and write a well constructed essay that completely answers all parts of the prompt.
An expert ISEE tutor in Sacramento could help your student hone their skills and potentially increase their score on the exam. Your tutor will provide meaningful instruction that takes your student's learning styles into consideration, as well as their skill level. Don't delay and call Varsity Tutors today to get your student on track for the private school of their choice.
