Finding the right San Antonio ISEE prep solution for your child doesn't have to be stressful or time consuming with the help of the experts at Varsity Tutors. We know how busy modern-day families are and how important it is to you for your child to receive the best education possible. Doing well on an ISEE exam is the first step towards gaining entry to one of the top magnet schools or independent schools in the area.
Most of these schools rely on ISEE exam scores as part of their application process. The exam's results have repeatedly been shown to be good indicators of a child's grade level competency in the core subject areas of math, reading, and writing. If your child will be taking one of the Primary or Lower Level exams or if you have a student who will be taking the Middle or Upper levels of the ISEE, it's crucial they have the resources to maximize their preparation time. Continue reading to learn more about what is covered on the different levels of the ISEE and how Varsity Tutors can help you find and get started with a San Antonio ISEE prep solution that's perfect for your child's learning needs.
What can San Antonio ISEE prep cover?
The Middle, Upper, and Lower levels of the ISEE all contain Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Math Achievement, and Essay Sections. The Primary levels evaluate similar grade level appropriate content, but the Primary Level 2 also has a component for auditory comprehension. None of the levels of the ISEE score the Essay component of the exam, but it is sent to any school to which your child applies. Because of this, writing skills may need to be included in your child's ISEE prep.
Some of the specific skills, concepts, and topics ISEE prep can help your child review include vocabulary, spelling, sentence structure, parts of speech, synonyms, prefixes and suffixes, reading comprehension, working with variables and exponents, solving equations, measuring objects, finding author's intent, identifying main ideas, inferring information, comparing and contrasting, solving equations, solving word problems, using coordinate grids, finding the area and perimeter of geometric shapes, and fractions.
Professional ISEE prep can help your child work on improving their skill in any of these areas as well as all other areas measured on any level of the ISEE.
How can a San Antonio ISEE prep class help my child prepare?
A prep class can help your child prepare by providing them with a structured and comprehensive review of the subject area content found on their level of the ISEE. While the classroom is on a secure online platform rather than a physical location, the structure is essentially the same. Your child will quickly become familiar with the routine of showing up for class and being greeted by a teacher who then provides group instruction on the current lesson. The teacher may then facilitate peer discussion or assign projects designed to further student understanding of the material. Just as in a traditional classroom, if your child has questions about the content they will have the opportunity to ask an instructor.
Another way a prep class can help your child prepare is by providing the right duration of preparation for them. We know that children do not all learn in the same way or at the same rate. That's why our classes have a couple of ways built into them to provide a degree of customization. You can choose between a two week or a four-week session for your child. Two week sessions are great for a high-intensity review that is over quickly while the four-week option gives the student a little more time to review a greater number of topics or to review specific topics in more depth.
Each of the classes is divided into sections, and we begin new sections every week. This modular design allows you to begin whenever is most convenient for you and your child.
How is working with a San Antonio ISEE tutor different from taking a course?
Personalized instruction is easier to provide in one-on-one instructional settings like the one your child will have if you have them work with a private tutor. When working with only one child, it is possible to discover the child's learning style, academic needs, and ISEE scoring goals. The information can then be used to create a customized learning plan that specifically targets your child's learning needs. This type of instruction is only minimally available in a course setting because courses are not designed with this in mind. They are designed to provide comprehensive overviews to a group with short periods of personalized instruction when children have specific questions about the content.
Another difference between the two learning formats is in how they're scheduled. Private sessions can be scheduled around your family's availability. You can schedule tutoring sessions throughout the week and on weekends during the morning, afternoon, or evening. Courses are designed to provide structure and stability to a group of learners. They are offered at designated times so parents and children can plan their other obligations around the schedule. One way is not better than the other; they are simply designed to do different things.
Private sessions may be ideal for your child if you know they learn more efficiently when they work individually with an instructor. They can also be great for busy families who would otherwise not be able to fit any type of professional ISEE prep into a packed schedule.
How can I get my child started with San Antonio ISEE prep?
Whether you want to enroll your child in a San Antonio ISEE prep course or you want to be connected to a skilled ISEE private tutor, Varsity Tutors can help make the process quick and easy. You know your child best, and we want to support you in giving them every advantage as they prepare for this high stakes test. Contact Varsity Tutors today to give your child a San Antonio ISEE preparation strategy that will help them work towards their scoring goals.

...another for the rest. One year I provided night tutorials for all the Geometry students in the school. That is when I saw the need for my book, "You Can Do Proofs." So many teachers don't know how to teach how to do proofs. My book takes care of that problem. In September 1997, after suffering constant sever pain for 5 years, I was convinced by the Medical Board of the Teacher Retirement System that...
