...results. Most times the student's actual problems aren't addressed and the interaction between student and tutor is very passive and does not garner results. I work with the student and ensure that all concepts are thoroughly ingrained before moving on to the next one. When I'm not enriching young minds, I enjoy performing stand up comedy. I also do a lot of music based projects, so basically I'm a fun guy. Really!

Long Island SSAT Tutoring FAQ
You want the best education for your child, and that means finding the best school for them. Public and private schools offer many different opportunities, and through research, you've found that the best place for your child is in a private school. However, before they can begin their education at a new school, your child must pass the Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT. Your child may work hard and study on their own, but outside help will give them an extra push to succeed. Varsity Tutors' educational directors can help you connect with a professional SSAT tutor in Long Island, NY.
a tutor can likely help your child prepare in a variety of ways for the SSAT. Your child can take the SSAT as soon as third grade, and as late as their junior year of high school. There are three levels of the SSAT to test different age groups. The Elementary Level lasts for one hour and 50 minutes, while the Middle and Upper Levels last for three hours and five minutes. This can be a long time to sit through a test, but with four sections testing reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and mathematics understanding, your child might feel pressured by the thought of not having enough time to find the right answer. Our educational directors can help you find a skilled, independent tutor near Long Island who can guide your child on the path toward SSAT understanding.
A professional SSAT tutor could help relieve that stress and build your child's confidence. The tutor can work on each section with your child, spending as much time as needed on sections where your child has questions. The tutor can also work with your child on test-taking strategies that could help them succeed, not just on the SSAT, but on other standardized tests in their future. Contact us to find your child an experienced SSAT tutor in Long Island, NY, who can provide a positive environment that may make it easy to learn and understand.
Best of all, the SSAT tutor is available on your schedule, both in person and online. Your child could learn in a comfortable, quiet environment with individual attention from the tutor, and you can set the schedule based on your child's needs.
