Sabrina
Middle School Math Tutor • +46 Subjects
I am a graduate of The State University of New York at New Paltz and am currently working towards my masters at Southeastern University. I received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics and I am obtaining my Master's in Educational Leadership. Throughout the years I have worked in the classroom as an elementary teacher and then obtained my certification in Middle School Mathematics which allowed me to work in my current profession as a middle school mathematics teacher. I have also been tutoring for over 10 years and I specialize in test preparation, organization, mathematics, and SAT/ACT Mathematics preparation. In my tutoring sessions I provide detailed instruction and consistently check for understanding. I break mathematics down into obtainable small lessons to allow for student success. In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, exercise, reading, baking and even advancing my own learning.
Ben
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +78 Subjects
I am a high school history teacher who has also worked as a teaching assistant at one of the country's top 10 colleges. I've taught ACT/SAT prep for about 4 years to students at all ends of the academic spectrum: from those working with learning disabilities/accommodations & struggling with timing to those trying to achieve perfect scores. Although I always create individualized plans, I focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals. Hobbies: sports, books, reading, music, writing, art

I am a Senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Mechanical and Robotics Engineering. I am here to help with any Math, Science, Engineering or other tutoring needs. My main approach is to focus on mastery over work pace. I encourage my students to strive for perfection on the basic material, before moving to the hard stuff. That way you won't only "kinda know" two things, but truly understand the material. Outside of class I enjoy, hiking, playing the saxophone, cooking and building robots.

Frequently Asked Questions
ISEE-Lower Level math students typically struggle most with word problems that require multiple steps, fraction and decimal operations, and basic geometry concepts like area and perimeter. Many students also find the quantitative reasoning section challenging because it requires them to work quickly through unfamiliar problem formats while managing time pressure. Understanding what's being asked before solving is often the biggest hurdle—students may know the math but misinterpret the question.
The ISEE-Lower Level math section requires balancing accuracy with speed—rushing leads to careless errors, but spending too long on one problem wastes time. A strong strategy is to scan all problems first, tackle easier ones immediately, and flag harder problems to return to if time allows. Practice tests help you identify which problem types slow you down, so you can develop shortcuts or recognition patterns specific to those areas before test day.
Quantitative reasoning on the ISEE-Lower Level tests logical thinking and problem-solving beyond basic computation—you might see comparison problems where you evaluate two quantities, or figure out patterns and relationships. These questions often have unusual formats that students haven't seen in regular math class, which can feel disorienting at first. The key is learning to decode what the question is actually asking and recognizing common problem types through targeted practice.
Taking a full practice test under timed conditions is the best way to pinpoint weak areas—you'll see which topics cause you to lose points or spend excessive time. After reviewing your results, look for patterns: Are you missing word problems? Struggling with fractions? Making careless errors under pressure? Once you know your specific gaps, you can focus practice on those areas rather than reviewing concepts you already know well, which saves time and builds confidence faster.
Tutors help build confidence by demystifying the test format and teaching you exactly what to expect—familiarity reduces anxiety significantly. They also work with you on realistic pacing strategies and help you practice staying calm when you encounter a tough problem. Repeated exposure to timed practice sections, combined with feedback on what's actually slowing you down, transforms test day from something scary into something manageable.
Word problems require you to translate English into math, which is a skill separate from computation. Start by reading slowly and identifying what information you actually need versus what's extra. Write out the problem in mathematical form before solving, and check that your answer makes sense in the context of the original question. Many ISEE-Lower Level students improve dramatically once they slow down on the reading step—rushing through the words is where most mistakes happen.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation, with 2-3 sessions per week of tutoring or practice. A typical schedule starts with diagnostic practice to identify weak areas, then moves into targeted skill-building on those specific topics, and finishes with full-length timed practice tests. The last 1-2 weeks should focus on test-taking strategy and building speed without sacrificing accuracy—this is where consistent practice really pays off.
Score improvement depends on where you're starting and how consistently you practice, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-6 weeks of focused work. Students who identify specific weak areas and practice strategically often improve 3-5 percentile points or more. The biggest improvements come from reducing careless errors, learning to recognize question patterns, and managing time better—these are all skills that respond well to targeted tutoring and practice.
