Cupertino SSAT Tutoring FAQ
Whether your son or daughter is starting 3rd grade or advancing to 11th grade, you may be considering whether they should take the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT). Elite private middle and high schools are highly competitive and selective. Your youngster must be prepared for the SSAT if he or she wants to attend such a school. Preparing for such an exam, however, can be extremely challenging, particularly when your student is not familiar with standardized testing, let alone the three-plus hours needed to finish the middle and upper levels of the exam. The elementary level test is just under two hours long. At any level, a passionate SSAT tutor in Cupertino, CA, could help make the educational process more effective, more fulfilling, and much less stressful for your child.
The SSAT consists of a quantitative math computation section, which includes algebra, geometry, probability, and measurement, among other topics. Other major components include reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and essay sections. Your child's tutor will identify any weaknesses in these areas and build upon them in a customized study plan. An alternate to a "one-size-fits-all" approach, the tutor will focus exactly on your child's needs as they plan for the SSAT.
Varsity Tutors will hand-pick an independent SSAT tutor in Cupertino who can try to work with your child's individual learning style, abilities, and personality. The tutor will also concentrate on the actual test level. The SSAT differs by grade level - it is provided in an elementary level for grades 3-4. The middle level test is for grades 5-7, and the upper level exam is for grades 8 and up. Your son or daughter may be challenged by the four sections, regardless of their level of reading comprehension, or their quantitative, verbal reasoning, and essay skills. Studying the topics and format may be time consuming. An expert SSAT tutor in Cupertino can help make the most of your student's study time.
A tutor may also meet with your child at the best time. Practice could be scheduled around their busy classes along with other activities, and can be held at an appropriate location, such as at home. The tutor also has the ability to travel. They may also meet face-to-face online, thanks to a live learning platform. For help connecting your son or daughter with SSAT tutors in Cupertino, CA, contact one of our educational directors today. They'll discuss your child's needs and schedule so the right tutor may be matched with your student to guide them on the road to success.
