Private ISEE Tutoring in Skokie, IL
Receive personally tailored ISEE lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. 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. Unfortunately, they are not able to interview every student whose application comes across their desk, and their admissions counselors have to rely on screening methods to weed through the piles of applicants. 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.
The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can connect you with professional ISEE tutors in Skokie today, and set your child on a course for success towards the independent school of their choice. Tutors can assess your student's current abilities, identify their strengths to capitalize on, and root out their weaknesses and areas in need of improvement, catering a specialized learning plan to your student's needs. They will guide you and your child through the material needed to excel on the ISEE, at a pace that works for your student, as well as at the pace required to be prepared on test day. Whether you have weeks or years to prepare, your ISEE tutor in Skokie will make the most of the time they have.
Tutoring can happen at whatever time and place your family chooses. The tutors that we can match you with are highly flexible and skilled at meeting the needs of busy families. If your child learns best in the outdoors, trips out to Emily Oaks to explore the Nature Center and trails might be a great venue for tutoring to take place. If ice cream is their number one motivation in life, why not tuck into a booth down at the Chocolate Shoppe for a few scoops to reward a hard day's work? And if your child needs the quiet of their own home, your tutor can come to you there, in-person or via our face-to-face online learning platform.
