Viewpoint is the co-ed TK–12 independent school on Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, with fourteen honors and twenty-eight AP courses in its Upper School. I tutor its applicants through the optional ISEE or SSAT, and its enrolled students through the year — one-on-one, online or at your home. Every session is with me.

Different needs, different plans.
Path one · Applying
Viewpoint makes the ISEE and SSAT optional for grades 5–12, which turns the test into a decision: a strong score adds to the file, and a weak one can stay home. We start with a timed diagnostic to see which side your student is on. The priority application deadline is December 15, 2026, grades 6–12 also need English and math teacher evaluations, and decisions arrive March 12, 2027. The main entry years are TK, kindergarten, sixth, seventh and ninth grade.
Path two · Enrolled
With fourteen honors and twenty-eight AP courses in the Upper School, the pace picks up fast. I support enrolled Viewpoint students with steady weekly sessions across math, the sciences, English and history, synced to the school's calendar.
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 Viewpoint and students already enrolled there.
Applicants get a diagnostic and, where it helps, ISEE or SSAT prep; enrolled students get year-round support across the core subjects. Every session is with me, online or in your home.
No — for now both are optional. Students applying to grades 5–12 may sit either the ISEE or the SSAT.
Whether to submit depends on the score, and a diagnostic settles that early. The priority application deadline is December 15, 2026, and decisions are released March 12, 2027. Confirm the dates on Viewpoint's admission page.

What I bring is thirteen years of working with families at LA's independent and neighborhood schools as an outside, accountable tutor.
