Santa Monica ISEE Tutoring FAQ
Students who are viable candidates for competitive elementary, middle, and high schools have a lot to show for themselves. Your child may do very well in school, but when it comes to the Independent School Entrance Examination, they could buckle under the pressure. You want them to be at their best on test day. A tutor can ease the pressure by providing a focused study plan that concentrates on their needs, in order to impress school administrators. A high score on this approximately three-hour test may seem implausible to your child. However, the educational directors at Varsity Tutors can help your child connect with an independent tutor in Santa Monica, CA, who can assist them in understanding the ISEE.
Regardless of which of the three levels of ISEE your student takes, the tutor can work at their level. The exam covers verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, math, and an essay. There are many areas where your student can mess up. A tutor can prevent this by shoring up any weaknesses in advance of the exam. Targeted, personalized lessons can cover any topic, and even include practice tests so your child becomes familiar with the format of the ISEE.
