We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.Independent schools in the Skokie area are looking for students like yours to join their learning communities.

The primary screening tool they use is the Independent School Entrance Exam, or ISEE. The ISEE tests your child in verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and math achievement, as well as requiring them to write an essay. One-on-one ISEE tutoring in Skokie, IL, can afford you and your child the ability to fine-tune their academic and test-taking skills by asking questions and getting immediate feedback, so that when test day comes, your child is prepared to do their very best.
