Top Rated Private School Test Prep Tutors in Bethesda

Get in Position to Excel with Our Private School Test Prep Tutoring Services

Good scores on private school entrance exams like the SSAT, ISEE or HSPT are not only important to students who aspire to schools that require them, but they also can help students who are still exploring different secondary schools to keep as many options open as possible. And good test preparation is equally important since many middle-school students may have taken some state or district wide standardized testing, but likely have never seen a test as challenging as these and certainly not one that actually mattered to them rather than their schools. Our online and Bethesda-based private school test prep tutors specialize in HSPT, ISEE and SSAT test tutoring.

For over two decades, we’ve been helping middle-school students overcome their first real standardized testing challenge, so we understand the unique needs these families have: younger students typically need more engaging and supportive lessons, and parents, who are typically more involved in the process, are helped by clear and consistent communication.

Our Private School Entrance Test Tutoring Can Help You Succeed

Personalized Tutoring

We’ve helped thousands of students prepare for and take graduate tests. Our students can expect an expert tutor to guide them through a comprehensive and effective tutoring process:

1. Learning Phase: Students learn the essential test-taking strategies, practicing with our comprehensive workbook while the tutor observes, noting strengths and opportunities for improvement.

2. Practice Phase: Students begin to do more focused test sections to both identify further areas for content review and also sharpen the pacing and decision-making skills they’ll need to be successful.

3. Testing Phase: Regular, full-length practice testing make up a bulk of most students’ work in advance of the test. Importantly, students are encouraged to establish a reflective process of error logging or review to solidify the gains they’ve made and be fully prepared.

Online Tutoring

We’ve been tutoring online extensively since 2020. Our tutors work with students to choose a meeting platform that leverages the technology they have, be that a laptop, an iPad or a document camera (which we’re happy to provide!) Many students prefer the flexibility online tutoring provides, so they can take advantage of the fact that we have tutors working at most hours of the day, seven days a week.

Why Trust Our Private School Test Prep Tutors?

Experienced Tutors

All of our test-prep tutors work with SAT or ACT students, but not all of them work with SSAT, ISEE or HSPT students. Our private school tutors enjoy and are particularly experienced in working with middle-school students and understand how to bring out the best in that age group

Proven Results

While we cannot guarantee a score, we can guarantee we’ll be with your family every step of the way. Our tutors are experienced not only in math and reading but also help families construct their test prep plans and even choose exam dates to work towards. We provide notes after each session to keep the lines of communication open, our students motivated, and everyone focused on the big picture. We’ll also be there as exam day approaches, providing you both test-week and test-day tips and, more importantly, the grounding and perspective your student needs to do their best.

Flexible Scheduling

Our tutors understand the need to balance your student’s test preparation with their other academics and extracurriculars, not to mention parents’ work schedules. We’ll work with you to craft a meeting schedule helpful for everyone: We will be as flexible as possible but also well know the value of commitment and steady work, so will structure our sessions accordingly to provide the right balance of accountability, encouragement, and challenge for each student.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students make a “summer project” of their high school test prep and complete the process in 2-3 months, especially since applications – and scores – need to be submitted in the fall. Individual situations vary greatly, however, depending upon student’s starting points and goals, so feel free to contact us so we can learn more about how we can help.

We like to let our students make those decisions, which is why we don’t offer prepackaged deals and instead work hourly. If your time with us stops being “worth it”, you probably shouldn’t make more appointments! 

All three are tests of basic math and reading skills, though there are important differences: the SSAT is the most nuanced, the ISEE more speeded, and the HSPT includes grammar. Our tutors can help you choose the test that’s the best match for your child if you do have a choice. Many students, however, are constrained to take the test(s) required by the schools they are interested in. 

Scheduling is handled between tutors and students, with many choosing some hybrid of in-person and online tutoring that best fits everyone’s schedules.

We host proctored private school practice tests in our offices every weekend like we do for college admissions tests like the SAT and ACT. Full-length practice testing should be an important component of any student’s preparation, especially at this level, so be sure to take advantage of our practice tests, available to our students at no extra charge. 

All of our test prep tutors are highly trained, experienced professionals. They are also different people. Our placement specialists will conduct an intake call with you to learn as much as possible about your student so that we can make a placement with a tutor that’s got a compatible teaching style.

Yes, we have tutors available at our Bethesda location or we can work with you fully remote. Tests include the HSPT, SSAT and ISEE.
