Milken is the co-ed Jewish independent school for grades 6–12 on Mulholland Drive above the Sepulveda Pass — about 800 students, with an average class of fifteen. I tutor its applicants through the testing the file asks for, and its enrolled students through the year — one-on-one, at your home or online. Every session is with me.
Clear Concepts Tutoring is an independent tutoring practice and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Milken Community School. I tutor students who attend or are applying to the school.
Different needs, different plans.
Path one · Applying
Milken asks every applicant for their most recent standardized testing, from this school year or last — ERB, CTP, ISEE, CAASPP and MAP all count. If the scores already on file don't show what your student can do, the ISEE is the one you can prepare for and choose to send. New-family applications are due December 11, 2026, forms and test scores by January 15, 2027, and decisions arrive March 12. We start with a diagnostic and decide whether a test is worth sitting.
Path two · Enrolled
Milken students carry Hebrew and Jewish Studies alongside a college-preparatory load, and many add a signature program such as the Mitchell Academy of Science and Technology. I support enrolled students with steady weekly sessions across math, the sciences, English and history, so the core subjects stay solid.
One accountable person with a phone number — not an agency roster. The rhythm below is the same one every family on my calendar gets.
I've worked with LA independent- and neighborhood-school families since 2013. The expectations, the calendars, and the pace are all familiar ground.
Sessions intensify before assessment weeks and ease after. The plan follows your student's actual calendar, not a generic curriculum binder.
I work until 9 PM, in-home across my service area or online — so sessions land after practice or after dinner — not in the middle of a working parent's afternoon.
Same tutor in September and in May, and a written note to you after every single session. You always know where things stand.
Yes — both students applying to Milken and students already enrolled there.
Applicants get a diagnostic and, where it helps, ISEE prep; enrolled students get year-round support across the core subjects. Every session is with me, in your home or online.
Not specifically. Milken asks for a student's most recent standardized test results, and the ISEE is one accepted example alongside ERB, CTP, CAASPP and MAP.
New-family applications for fall 2027 are due December 11, 2026, with forms and test scores due January 15, 2027 and decisions on March 12. Confirm the dates on Milken's admission page.
