Wildwood is the co-ed K–12 independent school in West Los Angeles — about 640 students, with its middle and upper school on Olympic Boulevard. I tutor its applicants through the testing the file requires, 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 Wildwood School. I tutor students who attend or are applying to the school.
Different needs, different plans.
Path one · Applying
Wildwood requires standardized testing for grades 6–12 and is flexible about which: the ISEE, the SSAT, or testing from your student's current school such as CAASPP, CTP or MAP, taken within the last twelve months. With roughly ten to twenty openings in each of sixth, seventh and ninth grade, a strong score is worth having. Applications are due December 15, 2026, records and recommendations by January 8, 2027, and decisions arrive March 12. Elementary applicants are not tested.
Path two · Enrolled
Wildwood writes narrative assessments twice a year and asks students to stand up and defend their work — Gateway presentations at the end of eighth and tenth grade, a Senior Exhibition in twelfth. I support enrolled students with steady weekly sessions in math, the sciences and writing, so the skills underneath the projects are 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 Wildwood and students already enrolled there.
Applicants get a diagnostic and, where it helps, ISEE or SSAT prep; enrolled students get year-round support in math, the sciences and writing. Every session is with me, in your home or online.
Wildwood requires standardized testing for grades 6–12, but not one specific test.
Families may submit the ISEE, the SSAT, state or district testing, or testing from the student's current school such as CAASPP, CTP or MAP, taken within the last twelve months. Applications for fall 2027 are due December 15, 2026. Confirm the details on Wildwood's admission pages.
