Fairfield SSAT Tutoring FAQ
The SSAT, or Secondary School Admissions Test, is given to students in third through eleventh grades who are applying to private schools. There are three levels, the lower, middle, and upper level, depending on a student's grade. Each level has four sections: quantitative, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and an unscored essay, which is nevertheless sent to the schools they apply to. The test is offered each year, once a month from October through April, and then once again in June. It is not unusual for this to be the first standardized test your student may take, and as standardized tests are so different from regular classroom testing, it's a good idea to get your child a little help studying for the SSAT. Let Varsity Tutors find an expert SSAT tutor in Fairfield with the experience, skills, and teaching approach that matches your child's needs
Our educational directors will be happy to connect your child with a custom-picked tutor, after finding out information such as your child's grade, their academic strengths and weaknesses, and their goals for the SSAT, as well as their personality and preferred learning methods. The Varsity Tutors educational directors can find an expert SSAT tutor in Fairfield, CT, to cater to your family's specific needs. Your tutor will be able to meet with your child on the days, whether weekdays or weekends, that work best for your family, and at whatever times work best, whether it's early in the day or later. Their tutor will also meet with your child in the location you choose, whether it's at their school, at a local library, or in your own home.
An enthusiastic SSAT tutor in Fairfield, CT, could help make your educational process more efficient, more enjoyable, and less stressful. By studying only those areas where your child needs help, the individual tutoring sessions are much more efficient than any class-based preparatory sessions can possibly be. Their tutor will work closely with them on things that they need more help on and skim through subjects that your child is already quite comfortable with. This way, your child can learn more in less time than they would in a classroom setting.
An expert SSAT tutor who we connect you with in Fairfield can help you be confident on exam day. An important factor for this is knowing what the test will be like. Your child's tutor will give them practice exams so they know exactly what they are facing on the day of the SSAT. Call Varsity Tutors today to learn more about private SSAT tutoring.
