Many private high schools require students to complete a High School Entrance Exam (HSEE) for acceptance, placement and even to determine scholarship eligibility. These schools include but are not limited to Tower Hill, Tatnall, Wilmington Friends, Sanford, Ursuline Academy, Salesianum, Caravel Academy and more. Test prep in Delaware can help. Back to Basics’ experienced tutors provide tutoring prep specifically designed around each school’s testing criteria. We provide a thorough review of test content, test-taking strategies and test timing for the exam along with essay prompts. Students will receive several practice tests, as well.

When parents are confused by the vast amount of education lingo and there are numerous decisions to be made regarding their child’s immediate and long-term future—this is the time to call in a seasoned professional to answer questions and perhaps act as an advocate for your child.
