Navigating the private school admissions process can feel like a steep climb for both you and your child. Standardized testing often introduces middle schoolers to high-pressure exams for the very first time, leading to test anxiety and frustration. We remove the stress by breaking down the exam into manageable pieces, turning an overwhelming hurdle into an empowering milestone.

Our Approach

  • All-Section Coverage: We provide thorough coaching across the entire exam, including the Verbal, Quantitative, and Reading sections.

  • The Essay Strategy: Learn how to structure a compelling, well-organized response for the unscored writing sample that admissions committees heavily review.

  • Age-Appropriate Coaching: Our supportive teaching methods are specifically designed for younger students, building confidence while reducing test-day nerves.

  • Pacing & Guessing Tactics: Teach students critical exam mechanics, such as time management and how to handle the unique SSAT wrong-answer penalty.

  • "We've completed 28 lessons with Christine and have seen significant improvement in my daughter's math and literacy scores as she preps for the SSAT. Christine is a professional in every sense of the word -- always on time, prepared, excellent pre/post lesson communications and focused. We will continue to use her in the fall and for our second child (when the time comes). I can 100% recommend her - Christine will not disappoint!"

  • "Christine tutored my daughter for the SSAT. Through her patience, dedication, flexibility, and clear teaching, our daughter achieved her testing goal. Christine broke down concepts, gave clear and reasonable expectations for work between sessions, and was kind and encouraging. We plan to hire Christine for our other kids whenever a tutoring need arises. I give her my absolute highest recommendation."
