The ISEE is the entrance test most Houston private schools use, and a strong score can strengthen your child's application. Firat Education has prepared Houston students for standardized exams since 2008, with one-on-one ISEE tutoring across all four sections, full-length diagnostic practice tests, and a plan built around your child's target schools and timeline. We are not just test tutors. We are independent admissions experts, so prep and placement work together.
The ISEE has four scored sections plus an essay. We coach all of them, and the test confidence that ties them together.
| Level | Entering grades |
|---|---|
| Primary | 2–4 |
| Lower | 5–6 |
| Middle | 7–8 |
| Upper | 9–12 |
