Why Boston ISEE Prep?
- We start our program earlier than most others. Runners don't train for a marathon in 8 weeks, and your child should not be expected to learn everything they need to do well on the test in 8 short weeks either. "Slow and steady wins the race" - that's our philosophy, and it works!
- We offer more hours of instruction than most programs. Most students (even those that are "good" at math and vocabulary) have not been exposed to this material yet. Is your child comfortable with pre-Algebra and Geometry? Do they know what the word nepotism means? If not, give us a call, we can help.
- We offer small classes. Our classes are limited to 6 students to ensure personal attention. The instructors know all of the students by name, and are in touch with each student at every class to make sure they understand the material presented. Do you really want your child to be in a class with dozens of other students where they are just another body taking up a seat?
- We offer highly qualified instructors. To learn more about our instructors, visit our About Us section. Most other programs hire college students and pay them close to minimum wage. There is no consistency of staff from year to year, and let's face it, they have no vested interest in whether your child does well or not, they won't be around next year - we will. We have been providing ISEE test prep instruction for over 10 years.
- We offer personal attention. In addition to the small classes, we publish a newsletter during the season to provide tips and advice on the process. Many parents have told us how helpful this information was to them, especially those going through it for the first time. We are also available to speak with you privately about your questions about the process.
- We offer a customized curriculum. We don't just hand the students the book and expect them to teach themselves. We have developed detailed lesson plans for the vocabulary and math portions of the exam that break up the material in manageable pieces so students can easily learn what they need to know.
- We offer accountability. At the start of each vocabulary session a quiz is administered on the previous lesson's material to ensure the student has been studying. Cumulative take home quizzes are given every 4 lessons in vocabulary to ensure the students are retaining the information. At each math session the homework is reviewed by the instructor and corrected to ensure that the student has done the homework and understands the material.
