The Diana Lipps Learning Advantage

A personalized, results-driven approach to private school entrance exams that’s designed to build confidence, strengthen performance, and set your child apart.

Tutoring includes:

  • Start with a full-length ISEE/SSAT diagnostic test to assess your child’s current performance and establish a clear baseline. This scored evaluation identifies strengths and pinpoints areas for improvement, helping guide a personalized ISEE/SSAT prep plan.

  • Our one-on-one ISEE/SSAT tutoring sessions are tailored to your child’s unique learning needs and academic goals. We focus on strengthening weak areas, improving test performance, and building the confidence needed for success on test day.

  • Students receive clear, written explanations for challenging ISEE/SSAT questions to reinforce understanding and improve problem-solving skills. This approach ensures they learn the “why” behind each answer, leading to stronger long-term retention.

  • Access a comprehensive bundle of ISEE/SSAT test-taking strategies, including expert tips for tackling each section and the essay. These resources help students approach the exam with confidence, clarity, and a proven game plan.

  • We offer targeted academic tutoring in key subjects to support overall school performance and strengthen private school applications. Building a strong academic foundation helps students succeed both on the ISEE and in the classroom.

  • After each exam, we provide a personalized ISEE/SSAT test debrief to review results and identify next steps. This strategy session helps refine your child’s study plan and prepares them for future test attempts.
