Brookline SSAT Tutoring FAQ
When your child is applying for a private school, the to-do list can get pretty long. There are application forms that need to be completed, recommendation letters to collect, and sometimes interviews to attend. There are also admissions exams. The Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT, is required by many top-tier private schools. If your child is stressed about taking this test, you need to be proactive. At Varsity Tutors, we can help you. If your child is preparing for the SSAT, let our educational directors connect you with a tutor in Brookline.
Plenty of tutors can be found for general subject areas. However, an SSAT tutor needs to have a specialized awareness of what your child could face on the test. We can find you a tutor in Brookline, MA, who is as adept at SSAT format as they are at teaching SSAT content. Your child will be prepared for the math, reading, and verbal sections of the test. The tutor will also share testing strategies and study techniques that can be helpful in preparing for the exam.
Your child's tutor will be able to focus on any areas of the test that your student will find most challenging. If that's the math section, your student's tutor will practice word problems and review basic and complex math functions, depending on your child's grade and level.

Each tutoring session will be completely customized and designed with your child's learning style in mind. For assistance in connecting with an experienced SSAT tutor in Brookline contact one of our educational directors.
Another great benefit of tutoring is time management. Your child's tutor will train your student in how to work through questions and manage each section. Your time is also valuable to your tutor.
