Most prep programs teach the test. We teach the test and tell you the truth about it.
Most prep covers content. That is one of three things a student needs to perform. Bell Curves built the KRE framework because knowledge alone is not enough. Recognition and execution are where points are lost. That is what we teach.
4 SSAT/ISEE Format Changes Tracked Since 2003
We've followed the SSAT and ISEE through every change since 2003. Nothing about either test surprises our students on test day.
Built for the Current Format
Test formats change over time. Our SSAT/ISEE curriculum reflects the current test, not an outdated version.

Jacquie B.
Instructor
Hey there! I'm originally from the sunny shores of San Juan, Puerto Rico, but about three years ago, I traded the beaches for the bustling streets of New York City to complete my Master's degree. Since my college days, I've been teaching all sorts of subjects, math, Spanish, English, and Acting! Now in NYC, I've been busy teaching SAT prep classes at various schools and working with students one-on-one across Brooklyn and Manhattan, tackling everything from SAT to SHSAT, SSAT, ISEE, ACT, and Spanish lessons.
