ISEE Tutoring for South Florida Independent School Admissions
Many of South Florida’s independent day schools — including Saint Andrew’s School, Pine Crest School, and American Heritage Schools — use the ISEE or SSAT in admissions. DES provides ISEE and SSAT tutoring in Boca Raton and throughout Palm Beach and Broward Counties. Our tutors build a personalized plan around your student’s baseline: verbal and quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, mathematics achievement, and the essay.
Prep emphasizes pacing, question strategy, and calm on test day — not just content drills.
SSAT Tutoring and Preparation
For families considering boarding schools or SSAT-accepting day schools, we prepare students across all SSAT levels — verbal, quantitative, reading, and the writing sample — with full-length practice tests and score-trend reviews so you always know where things stand.
Executive Function Coaching Built Into Test Prep
Test prep is a project: a schedule, a study system, and follow-through over several months. Because every DES tutor is trained in executive function coaching, students learn to manage practice-test cycles, prep homework, and regular school workload at the same time — a difference families notice immediately.
We also support students with ADHD, test anxiety, dyslexia, and other learning differences, including guidance on testing accommodations.
Diagnostic & Baseline
A full-length diagnostic pinpoints strengths, gaps, and the right target test before prep begins.
Strategy & Pacing
Question strategy, educated guessing, and section pacing tuned to how each test is scored.
Practice Tests
Periodic full-length practice tests with score-trend reviews, so progress is measured — not assumed.
Confidence on Test Day
Calm, familiar routines that keep anxious testers steady when it counts.
What a Typical South Florida Prep Plan Looks Like
Most families start 3–6 months before test dates. A typical plan includes a diagnostic, weekly one-to-one sessions in your home or virtually, periodic full-length practice tests, and parent check-ins timed to admissions deadlines. Later starts can still work with a more intensive schedule.
More Than a Score
No responsible provider can guarantee a score or an admission. We deliver a precise diagnostic, a written plan, one-on-one instruction, and study skills that keep paying off long after test day.

Frequently Asked Questions About ISEE & SSAT Prep in South Florida
When should we start prep?
Most students start 3–6 months before their test date. Fall test dates for January admissions deadlines make summer the ideal starting point — but a focused shorter plan is possible when needed.
ISEE or SSAT — which should my child take?
It depends on your target schools and how your child tests. Many schools accept either; our diagnostic process helps you choose the test that plays to your child’s strengths.
Do you offer in-home sessions?
Yes — in-home throughout Palm Beach and Broward Counties, plus virtual sessions statewide.
Can you support students with ADHD or test anxiety?
Yes — this is a DES strength. Every tutor is special education–certified, and prep plans build pacing, focus, and confidence strategies alongside content. We can also support families pursuing testing accommodations.
Do you guarantee scores or placement?
No — and no responsible provider can. We deliver a precise diagnostic, a written plan, one-on-one instruction, and skills that keep paying off after test day.
