OUR METHOD

Why the Avery Prep approach works for ISEE

The ISEE tests more than content — it tests pacing, stamina, and vocabulary under pressure. We build all three, systematically.

01

Baseline assessment first

We assess by section before writing the plan — so instruction targets actual gaps, not assumed ones.

02

Content review at the right level

Math, quantitative reasoning, and verbal — aligned to the student’s grade level and the specific ISEE tier they’re sitting.

03

Test strategy throughout

Pacing, skipping, educated guessing, and stamina — the strategies that separate students who know the content from students who score well.

04

Consistency over cramming

Steady weekly progress outperforms last-minute prep. We build a rhythm that produces real improvement — not test-day nerves.

05

Leadership oversight

Krystyna reviews progress and adjusts the plan so nothing falls through the cracks between sessions.

The result

A student who walks into test day with genuine confidence — not because they crammed, but because they prepared.

She came out of the test calm. That was the biggest win — we knew the prep had worked.

STRUCTURE

What tutoring actually looks like

Most students meet 1–2x per week, with light, consistent practice between sessions.

  • Content skill building in math, quantitative reasoning, and verbal
  • Pacing practice — timed sets calibrated to the student’s current level
  • Test-taking Vocabulary work: high-leverage words and strategies for unfamiliar terms in context that reduces avoidable errors
  • Between-session assignments that reinforce what was covered, without overloading a young student’s schedule

Younger students work at a different pace — sessions are structured accordingly, with confidence-building woven throughout.

Sample Weekly Rhythm

  • Session 1 — Skill + content
    Baseline review → targeted instruction on priority content areas
  • Between sessions (20-30 min)
    Light practice aligned to what was covered — builds habits, not anxiety
  • Session 2 — Timed practice
    Timed section sets → review of pacing and errors
  • Krystyna’s weekly check-in
    Progress reviewed → plan adjusted, parents updated

TIMING

When should you start?

Timeline varies by grade level and how competitive the target schools are. The key is building enough runway to prep calmly, not urgently.

Ideal: 3–6 months before testing

Enough time to assess, build skills, practice under timed conditions, and arrive at test day with genuine confidence.

Starting with less time? Still very much worth it.

We’ve helped students prep effectively in 4–8 weeks. We’ll build a plan around your actual timeline — not the ideal one.
