Ivy Bound Tutors

Which SSAT level should your child prepare for?
The first step is the student’s current grade. Grades 5–7 take the Middle Level SSAT; grades 8–11 take the Upper Level.

Ivy Bound teaches the two levels separately because students encounter different language, reasoning, quantitative work, and pacing expectations. Our in-person Greenwich classes meet on Mondays: Middle Level from 4:15–5:45 PM ET and Upper Level from 7:15–8:45 PM ET.

Each course includes six 90-minute classes with Mark Greenstein—nine hours total for $475 per student.

Review the two level pages and upcoming class dates before choosing a cohort.

Most tutoring is reactive. Your child struggles on a test, so they go to tutoring. They get through the week, and the cycle repeats. Nothing actually changes.
At Ivy Bound, we start differently.

Before anything else, we do a real assessment to understand exactly where your child stands. Then we build a custom plan around their goals, their learning style, and their timeline. And we do not just set it and forget it — we track progress and adjust as they grow.

In-person or fully online. Starting at $48/hr.

If your child deserves more than a quick fix, we would love to talk. Free consultation at the link below.

25 years. Thousands of families. We build what fits.
