Entrance Exam Tutoring for ISEE, SSAT, and SHSAT, and HSPT
At Rath Tutoring, we help students approach private school and specialized high school entrance exams with calm, confidence, and clear strategy. Whether your child is taking the ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT, or HSPT, our one-on-one tutoring focuses on building skills, reducing anxiety, and helping them show what they’re truly capable of on test day.
Why Entrance Exam Tutoring Matters
High school entrance exams can feel intimidating: new formats, unfamiliar question types, and a lot riding on one test day. For many students, this is their first “big” test.
Our tutoring gives families clarity and students a sense of control. We explain what each test looks like, what skills are being measured, and how to prepare step by step. Instead of cramming or guessing, students follow a thoughtful plan that builds skills and confidence over time.
“Once Rath Tutoring laid out the different tests and options, we finally felt like we understood the process. Our daughter stopped panicking and started preparing with a clear plan.”
What Tutoring Looks Like
Our entrance exam tutoring is built around consistent, focused support. A typical program includes:
An initial practice test or score review to see where your child stands
A customized study plan geared toward the specific exam and test date
Weekly one-on-one tutoring sessions
Homework and practice tailored to your child’s level
Periodic check-ins with parents to share progress and next steps
We stay in close communication with families so everyone feels informed and supported throughout the process.
“We appreciated the regular updates from our son’s tutor. We always knew what they were working on and how he was progressing.”
Personalized Tutoring for Every Exam
Every student is different — and so is every exam. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all program. Instead, we get to know your child: their strengths, challenges, learning style, and target schools.
Then we build a tutoring plan that fits their needs and schedule. We focus on the specific sections and skills that matter most for their test, at their level, and move at a pace that feels both challenging and encouraging.
“Rath Tutoring met our son exactly where he was. His tutor adjusted the pace and focused on the parts of the test that were most confusing. By the time he tested, he felt genuinely ready.”
HSPT Tutoring
We help students prepare for the High School Placement Test with targeted support in verbal skills, reading, language, and math. Our tutors teach strategies for managing timing, understanding question patterns, and staying calm under pressure.
ISEE | SSAT | SHSAT| HSPT — How We Help
ISEE Tutoring
The ISEE can feel challenging, especially for younger students. We break the test into clear, understandable parts and teach students how to tackle vocabulary, reading passages, math concepts, and the essay in a way that feels manageable.
SSAT Tutoring
For the SSAT, we focus on reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, quantitative skills, and test-taking strategy. Students learn how to approach tough passages, work through math problems efficiently, and manage the unique style of SSAT questions.
SHSAT Tutoring
The SHSAT demands strong reading and math skills under tight timing. Our tutors work on problem-solving, reading closely for details, and effective pacing so students can make the most of every minute on this high-stakes exam.
