Prep for SSAT or ISEE


If you are looking for someone to help your child with SSAT or the ISEE - here are some suggestions.


  1. For classroom coaching (group or 1x1 setting) in the Seattle area - local centers such as Sandweiss, Huntington, MercerEd, are options. Another list is at https://www.expertise.com/wa/seattle/math-tutoring
  2. For online tutors -  https://www.wyzant.com, https://takelessons.com/ or https://thumbtack.com or CraigsList could be a way to find a tutor
  3. Most SAT tutors should be able to help with SSAT test prep, since the tests are somewhat similar (with a different degree of difficulty)
  4. https://ssatpracticetest.com/ offers a premium practice package
  5. If a good high schooler or a college student who prepared for PSAT or SSAT could be of help –  NextDoor could help in finding someone local.
  6. A teacher in your kid’s current school who’s looking for some extra money may be an option as well
  7. Pricing varies heavily – from about $20 to $400 per hour  (at least for 1x1 test prep tutoring) :(

Review: WatchIndia.tv set top box

Options to watch Indian TV channels used to be somewhat limited in the US (especially for regional-language channels). Sometime ago I came across http://www.watchindia.tv/  , but never had a chance to try it out. Finally, I decided to give it a try & ordered their set-top box (I got the newer version with HDMI output & WiFi support). My experience so far has been pretty good... The device is slightly larger than the size of a wireless-router Setup of the device was pretty easy. It came pre-configured to log-in with my watchIndia account Video/audio quality is reasonably good (I use a wired ethernet connection). The video quality reminds me of an average quality SD channel (or a video-cassette). The picture does have some pixelation, but I found it to be tolerable. Check out the pictures below. The overall UI has some constraints, but it is not horrible (the UI does have some latency, but it's not too bad) The remote is OK; most of the buttons don't seem to be fun
