ISEE Tutoring

Independent School Entrance Exam
The ISEE is used by top private schools to evaluate students in reading, math, verbal reasoning, and writing. It’s a tough test, but our tutors make it manageable with a supportive, structured approach. We begin with a diagnostic test to understand where your child stands, then build a plan focused on the sections where they’ll benefit most. Our ISEE tutoring covers everything from vocabulary and reading comprehension to quantitative reasoning and essay writing. We also work on time management strategies so students feel calm and in control on test day.

  • Full-length diagnostic & custom study plan
  • All sections covered: Verbal, Quantitative, Reading, Math, Essay
  • Exclusive practice materials & 1-on-1 strategy coaching

SSAT Tutoring

Secondary School Admission Test
The SSAT challenges students with tricky analogies, advanced vocabulary, and fast-paced reading and math questions. Study Hut breaks the test down into approachable steps. After a diagnostic test, we create a study plan that reinforces your child’s strengths and fills in any gaps. Our tutors teach smart strategies for answering verbal questions, solving math problems, and handling dense reading passages. With plenty of guided practice and coaching, students build the skills and stamina they need to succeed.

  • Free diagnostic & targeted lesson plan
  • Vocabulary-building + reading and math drills
  • Tips for pacing, guessing, and eliminating answers

OLSAT/GATE Prep

Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Test
The OLSAT is an aptitude test used for GATE program admissions and includes reasoning-based questions students don’t usually see in school. Our tutors help young learners get comfortable with the test’s format using fun, brain-boosting exercises. We focus on verbal and non-verbal reasoning, following directions, pattern recognition, and logic puzzles. We work closely with students to build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and prepare them for the types of questions they’ll face on the real test.

  • Diagnostic to assess strengths and weaknesses
  • Practice for verbal, figural, and quantitative reasoning
  • Skill-building in following directions and problem-solving

HSPT Tutoring

High School Placement Test
The HSPT is the entrance exam for many Catholic high schools, and it includes five sections that test reading, grammar, vocabulary, math, and logic. At Study Hut, we prep 8th graders to tackle the HSPT with confidence. After a practice test, we create a plan to target key areas and build test-day readiness. Our tutors cover all academic content while also helping students with pacing, accuracy, and time management—so they’re ready to perform under pressure and earn top placement.

  • Practice tests for pacing and endurance
  • One-on-one instruction for every section
  • Confidence-building strategies for test day
