About Sandy
Hi! I’m Sandy Allen—a lively, encouraging educator with over 30 years of experience helping students succeed in school and on major admissions tests. I’ve spent the last decade as a full-time online tutor and curriculum designer, specializing in high school entrance exams like the ISEE, SSAT, HSPT, SHSAT, and more. My approach is equal parts structured and upbeat. Whether your child is aiming for a competitive independent school or navigating the admissions process for the first time, I’m here to make the journey smoother, smarter, and less stressful—for both students and parents. -I work with a wide range of learners, including: -High-achieving students seeking a competitive edge -Neurodivergent students who need flexibility, reassurance, or executive function support -Multilingual and international students preparing to enter English-speaking schools I hold a Bachelor’s in Education and a Master’s in English Education. I’ve also created digital test prep programs and scored standardized exams professionally, so I bring both classroom wisdom and behind-the-scenes insight to every lesson.

My entrance exam prep lessons are lively, focused, and highly personalized. I prepare students for every section of the ISEE, SSAT, HSPT, and similar exams:
-Verbal Reasoning & Vocabulary – Strategies for analogies, synonyms, and word-building
-Reading Comprehension – Identifying main ideas, tone, and inference
-Math Concepts & Quantitative Reasoning – Breaking down word problems, reviewing skills, and building test-day confidence
-Writing & Essay Sections – Clear structure, confident voice, and timed practice with feedback
I begin with a quick diagnostic to see where your student is starting, then create a flexible plan that meets their needs and works with their learning style. My sessions include encouragement, real skill-building, and plenty of opportunities for your child to ask questions and grow as a learner—not just a test-taker.
Parents receive regular updates, helpful insights, and peace of mind knowing your student is working with someone who truly cares about their success.
Ready to take the stress out of test prep—and build real skills that last beyond the exam? Book a session and let’s get started!

We hired Sandy to do some last minute tutoring for our son. In the short time that she worked with him, she was able to teach him invaluable skills and techniques to raise his SAT score. Sandy is a fun and patient teacher who hones in on what the student needs to improve their performance and equips them with the necessary tools to be confident and successful on the test. My only regret is that we did not hire her sooner!
