SSAT/ISEE/HSPT Tutoring
MJ Test Prep offers individual tutoring sessions for the middle/high school admissions tests. We recommend that students prepping for these tests start off by taking a full practice test in the office or at home before the first coaching session. The practice test will be scored within 24 hours. From there, we will offer feedback on the test and determine the best way to move forward.

The ISEE has three levels: the Lower level, for entrance into grades 5-6; Middle level, for entrance into grades 7-8; Upper level, for entrance into grades 9-12. All levels consist of five sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics Achievement, and a 30-minute essay section.

The Secondary School Admission Test, or SSAT, is an admissions test administered to students in grades 5-11 to help determine placement into independent or private junior high and high schools. Despite its similar name, the SSAT is not related to the SAT and is not administered by the College Board.
​
There are two levels of the SSAT: the Lower level for students in grades 5-7 and the Upper level, designed for students in grades 8-11. The SSAT consists of two parts: a brief essay and multiple-choice sections that include Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, and Verbal.

Andrew is a graduate of the Schreyer Honors College of Penn State University, where he received his BA in English, with a Creative Writing Emphasis. He also received a Minor in History, assisted by the head start of 21 credits he earned from his success on Advanced Placement tests in high school.

Whether he’s working with an underprivileged high school student trying to master algebra or an elite NCAA athlete struggling to write a term paper, Andrew’s approach is to show the student that the subject at hand isn’t nearly as hard as it looks once it is unraveled piece by piece. He focuses on building a student’s confidence and is quick to apply positive reinforcement to continually engage and motivate the student.
