What makes your Seattle SSAT prep different from other tutoring services?

Great question—and we’ll try not to sound too smug about it. The truth is, not all SSAT prep is created equal. Some programs hand you a workbook, wish you luck, and call it a day. We do things differently. At Cardinal Education, we create a fully customized SSAT prep experience tailored to Seattle students—because let’s be honest, Seattle families expect excellence, and we deliver.

We pair students with expert tutors who actually know the SSAT inside and out, not just someone who happened to score well once in 2007. We use diagnostic tests, targeted skill-building, and strategic coaching to help students master pacing, question types, and those delightfully confusing analogies. We even factor in your child’s academic load, extracurriculars, and test-day nerves.

Whether your student is aiming for the Upper, Middle, or Elementary Level SSAT, we build a plan that works and gets results. No gimmicks. No one-size-fits-all shortcuts. Just smart, focused, Seattle-savvy prep.
