Who it's for
- Students in Grades 3 to 11 applying to private or independent schools
- Students who are strong in school but new to standardized tests
- Students who need to raise one section, often verbal or quantitative
- Families applying to schools in the US or Canada
What preparation covers
- Verbal reasoning: synonyms, analogies and sentence completion
- Reading comprehension
- Quantitative reasoning and math achievement
- The writing sample schools read alongside scores
- Full practice tests at your child's level
- Timing strategy and when to skip a question
Subjects the SSAT & ISEE covers
It also tests verbal reasoning, which aren't taught as school subjects. We teach those too.
How lessons work
- We start with a practice test to see which sections and question types need the most work.
- Vocabulary and verbal skills are built steadily over weeks, because they cannot be crammed.
- Timed sections are added as methods become secure, so pacing improves without panic.

What parents say
The tutors have been outstanding, patient, professional, and deeply committed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Masani to any parent looking to see tangible improvement in their children's learning journey.
Since I started using this service, my child's performance has improved. The lesson teacher is good at what she does, and I have recommended their services to other parents and will continue to do so.
Our daughter gets excited to connect with her Masani tutor. Her attitude toward learning mathematics has changed completely. Her self-confidence has increased and she is eager to learn new concepts.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the SSAT and the ISEE?
Both test verbal skills, reading and math, and include a writing sample. They differ in format and scoring, and schools choose which they accept. We prepare your child for whichever their schools require.
When should my child start preparing?
Three to six months before the test is typical. Earlier is better if vocabulary or reading needs building, because those take time.
Do Canadian private schools use these tests?
Many do, especially the SSAT. Check each school's admissions page, and we will tailor preparation to the test they ask for.
