About the ISEE
The Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) is a test designed by faculty and administrators at independent schools and administered by the Education Records Bureau. The ISEE is for students in grades 2-12 to determine admission into private and/or independent schools. As with the SSAT, there are different levels depending on grade level.
- Primary Level - for students entering grades 2-4 (an online test)
- Lower Level - for students entering grades 5-6
- Middle Level - for students entering grades 7-8
- Upper Level - for students entering grades 9-12
All levels besides the Primary level are offered both online and in person. The ISEE tests Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, and includes a 30-minute essay.
Our Approach to 1-1 ISEE Tutoring
An ISEE Test Prep package from MyGuru is a customized experience consisting of a test prep book from Barron's and 5 to 15 (more or less can also be done) hours of one-on-one instruction from a recognized expert (delivered in your home or a local library). Students complete a diagnostic practice test to identify strengths & weaknesses. The first session involves a review of this diagnostic test, an overview of each section of the test, and development of a study plan. This is followed by a series of one or two hour sessions in which strategies for each section of the test are reviewed & practice problems are completed.
Our typical package provides a total of 15 hours of customized, 1-on-1 test prep, including the review of practice tests the student completes on their own time between sessions to measure and track progress. Of course, we also offer hourly ISEE tutoring – just fill out the form below or email us at info@myguruedge.comto discuss your child’s situation.

After the first session, if you choose to continue with a 15 hour package, that's a total cost of $72.25 × 15 hours = $1,083.75.
