From Our Founder:
As an independent school graduate, I have comprehensive knowledge of the benefits of a private school education. Although the years make Commencement a hazy memory, I continuously grow more aware of how valuable my experience was - both in terms of the education and perspective gained and the opportunities it presented.
Like college admissions, a strong SSAT score is a critical element to a private secondary school application. Our SSAT test prep lessons include proven strategies and vocabulary building, content review, and practice. Progress is closely monitored and instruction individualized to bolster the skills and knowledge needed to attain the desired score. By the time test day arrives, our students are confident and prepared on test day, ready to “control” the SSAT and succeed. We have a stellar track record and proud that our students have gone to some of New England’s most prestigious private schools.
I invite you to learn more about our SSAT tutoring. We're outstanding at what we do and welcome the opportunity to engage with your student.
Sincerely,
Curtis Eames, Founder & Lead Instructor
Expert SSAT Test Prep with Guaranteed Score Improvements
The SSAT is a standardized test focused on verbal, math, and reading skills. Students have multiple ways to take the SSAT throughout the year: paper-based or computer-based at a test center or computer-based at home.
(ALL LEVELS)
Students master subject material and essential STRATEGIES that make our student SSAT scores the envy of the industry. Score improvements are guaranteed as our approach is customized for each student to attain their goals, delivering or surpassing their target score.
Our SSAT Prep tutors collaborate with students to master strategies and concepts necessary for success in the verbal, math, and reading skills the SSAT assesses. Students use test-taking techniques proven to improve scores by reducing common errors and consistently picking correct answers. Our holistic approach builds on student strengths to master challenges. It includes an individualized timing plan through our unique CurtisE Timing Engine™, ensuring test takers start and finish strong- it’s all in the timing!

Boosting Academic and Professional Skills
CurtisE SSAT Prep enhances success not just with the exam but also academic and professional skills.
Succeeding on the SSAT is not simply a “brute force” exercise, hammering away at practice tests and learning the exam’s intentional tricks, but requires understanding the tested concepts and skills. CurtisE Learning addresses any skill or knowledge gaps while strengthening test-taking ability. Whether digging into an analogy, analyzing a tricky humanities passage, or tackling a geometry problem, our tutors ensure your student masters the fundamentals that will increase SSAT scores and boost academic confidence and performance. Our students keep their eyes on the ball- the academic transcript is essential to the application package.
When to Start SSAT Prep
The general recommendation is to start a year before applications will be submitted. We aim to have the student consistently perform at the desired level within a month before the “one that counts” test date. Depending on school application goals and practice data, we advise planning backward from your goal.
Some students should consider starting earlier if they:
want to get a jumpstart (particularly in mastering all SSAT math concepts and evidence-based reading skills)
struggle with testing (our techniques apply to all standardized tests)
are heavily scheduled during the summer
