If you want your child to have the best chance of acceptance at the most competitive schools, make the SSAT a priority by scheduling private tutoring sessions. A skilled tutor assesses where your child stands in the four sections on the SSAT, which are the quantitative section, the reading comprehension section, the verbal reasoning section, and the essay. Although the essay is unscored, schools do see it along with your child's score, so it's still important that your child writes a high-quality essay. Once the tutor knows your child's strengths and weaknesses, they can develop a personalized study plan designed to build a strong foundation of knowledge.
We can find your child a talented SSAT tutor in Bridgeport who can work with students at all proficiency levels. Your child's tutor doesn't just prepare them for the test questions, an experienced tutor also prepares them for the test experience.

A tutor who has been in the same situation for multiple standardized tests could help your child mentally prepare for the experience. On test day, your child may be able to manage their stress and still work toward a better score.

You can even schedule a tutoring session at one of the tables in beautiful Seaside Park.
