James
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

BA Duke University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American History. I recently received my Juris Doctor degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and began my career as an attorney. I am passionate about continuing my work in education through tutoring. I enjoy tutoring many subjects, particularly History, SAT Reading and Writing, College Essays, and Spanish. I love assisting students in implementing simple but effective changes in their preparation for Standardized Tests that show immediate results. I find this motivates students to continue through struggles in their educational pursuits. When I am not working, I enjoy yoga, running, cooking, traveling and playing the cello.

Justin
BA University of Chicago • Current Grad Student, Philosophy University of New Mexico-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Katherine
Undergraduate Degree New York University
2+ Years Tutoring

The ISEE throws a mix of verbal reasoning, quantitative comparisons, and reading comprehension at students who are often encountering these question formats for the first time. Katherine breaks each section into repeatable strategies — like eliminating trap answers on synonym questions and setting up equations for word problems — so test day feels familiar rather than overwhelming. Her background in both math and writing analysis means she can coach across every section without switching tutors.

I am proficient at US History and can help an AP US History student towards a 4 or 5 on his or her exam. My concentration for both of my post-high school degrees was religion, and I would love to tutor students who are taking religion courses. My favorite hobby is reading, and I believe it is important to instill an enjoyment of reading in students as early as possible. I can help young people who need extra support to become better readers.

1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.

Jane
Current Undergrad Student, English Princeton University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a current student at Princeton University, obtaining a major in English with minors in Environmental Studies and Musical Theater. I graduated from Sewickley Academy in 2016 as a member of the Cum Laude Society with highest honors for all semesters. I am an AP Scholar with Honors, an Academic All American, and a recipient of the Harvard Book Award. When on breaks from school, I take care of children ages 5-11 and teach them reading, writing, and mathematics. Though I enjoy teaching a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English. I have the most fun teaching students reading, writing, and grammar for test preparation and general school help. I believe that the ability to read and write proficiently is a foundation for a well-rounded individual and allows the student to have the best chances in any academic or employment field they may pursue. To be able to express oneself eloquently and concisely is essential for academic and personal success. This does not come without skill in logical mathematic thinking, however. I firmly believe that anyone can succeed no matter where they are in the educative process as long as they have the tools and strategies for efficient learning. The best advise any teacher gave me was "study smarter, not harder". There are strategies that take time to learn, but once mastered, studying and preparing for any academic venture become much easier. In my free time, I enjoy participating in musical theater, golfing, reading, and yoga.

Olivia
BA Yale University
10+ Years Tutoring

I'm passionate about guiding high schoolers through the college application process. The admissions process is probably one of the most confusing, anxiety-inducing experiences you'll have in high school, but I'm full of ideas for making the entire process as successful and stress-free as possible. I've successfully guided many students through every stage of admissions -- from figuring out where to apply and then staying organized and on-track, to "packaging" themselves and producing a perfect personal statement -- and I love witnessing them achieve their admissions dreams.

Allan
BA Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm a big Boston Celtics fan and I speak three languages. I can get you the test results you need to succeed because I went through the exams myself and performed well. The first time I took the SAT I actually wasn't satisfied with my score, so I spent 2 months working hard to get my score to where I wanted it to be. The second time I took the exam I saw a 200-point increase. Previously, I have had experience teaching the SSAT and the SAT. The student I tutored in SSAT successfully passed the exam is now attending a private high school abroad. With VarsityTutor's online learning platform, I will be able to transfer knowledge in a visual, easy-to-understand manner. I look forward to being your tutor and helping you reach your academic goals. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) is a standardized test used for admission to independent and private schools. For students in Oklahoma City, the ISEE is often required or recommended by selective private institutions as part of their admissions process. The exam assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and math achievement across different levels depending on grade.

The ISEE has four levels: Primary (grades 2-3), Lower (grades 4-5), Middle (grades 6-7), and Upper (grades 8-11). Your student's grade determines which level they'll take. It's important to confirm the specific level required by the school you're applying to, as some Oklahoma City private schools may have specific preferences or requirements.

Many students struggle with the ISEE's pacing and the variety of question types, particularly in verbal reasoning where they must infer meanings from context. The quantitative section often challenges students who haven't encountered certain problem types before, and reading comprehension requires both speed and accuracy. Personalized tutoring helps students identify their specific weak areas and build targeted strategies rather than reviewing material they've already mastered.

In a classroom setting, teachers must pace instruction for 20+ students with varying needs—in Oklahoma City's 176 schools with an average 16.6:1 student-teacher ratio, individual attention is limited. Personalized 1-on-1 ISEE instruction focuses entirely on your student's learning style, paces material at their speed, and targets their specific problem areas. This approach allows tutors to adapt strategies in real-time and build confidence on the exact skills your student needs most.

Most students benefit from 2-4 months of focused preparation, though this varies based on starting point and target score. Some students need 8-12 weeks of consistent work, while others may prepare more intensively over a shorter period. A tutor can assess your student's current level during an initial session and create a customized timeline based on their goals and the school's application deadline.

The first session focuses on understanding your student's current strengths, weaknesses, and test-taking habits. A tutor will likely administer a diagnostic assessment or review practice problems to identify which sections (verbal reasoning, quantitative, reading comprehension) need the most work. This information guides the personalized tutoring plan and helps set realistic, measurable goals for improvement.

Score improvements depend on starting point and effort, but students working with personalized instruction typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice. Many students improve by 10-20+ percentile points when they address their specific weak areas with targeted strategies. The key is identifying exactly which question types and skills need work, then practicing with feedback—something personalized tutoring provides effectively.

Look for tutors with strong track records helping students prepare for standardized tests, familiarity with ISEE structure and question types, and experience working with your student's grade level. The best tutors understand not just the content but also test-taking strategy, pacing, and how to build student confidence. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven success preparing students for the ISEE and similar assessments.
