Test Prep Tutoring

WHY TEST PREP TUTORING IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD

Admission to a gifted program or highly sought-after private school can be truly life changing. These programs offer advanced academics, inspiring peers, and opportunities that shape a child’s future.

At the center of admission are standardized tests such as the COGAT, NNAT, NGAT, SSAT, ISSE, SHSAT, ITBS, MAP, CAT-4, WISC, and WPPSI. These exams use unfamiliar formats and question types that even very bright children have never encountered before.

When children walk into these tests unprepared, their scores often don’t reflect their true ability. With the right preparation — and the guidance of a TestingMom tutor — children gain confidence, familiarity, and a meaningful advantage.

WHY WORK WITH TESTINGMOM?

TestingMom is the #1 provider of test preparation for gifted and talented programs, private schools, and competitive public school admissions. For more than 15 years, families have trusted us because we know these tests — and we know kids.

Why Use Test Prep Tutoring

Many families begin with a TestingMom subscription, which is designed for parents to work directly with their children. As the preparation process becomes more demanding, parents often realize they want expert, one-to-one support — either to maximize scores or because they’re not trained teachers themselves.

TestingMom has refined a proven test prep tutoring process that supports children step by step, helping them achieve their highest possible scores on these critical entrance exams.
