How can a tutor help your child master the SSAT?
Is your goal to see your child enrolled in a private school? If your answer is yes, then they will need to start preparing for the SSAT. The SSAT is offered in three levels: elementary, middle, and upper. Each level has four timed sections that your student will need to be prepared for. With this important test on the horizon, you may be considering the assistance of a private tutor. Varsity Tutors can assist in your search for a dedicated SSAT tutor in Los Angeles, California. Our educational directors can help you locate a tutor who can meet with your child in person or online at a time and place most convenient for your family.
Private Los Angeles SSAT tutors offer help with each section of the exam: quantitative, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and essay. Your child and their tutor can decide together if they should cover every section, just one section, or a select few sections. Because the tutoring session is solely based on your student's learning needs, they can work with their tutor on only the areas they need extra help with. Your child's tutor can offer them practice tests to help narrow down exactly what should be covered in the tutoring sessions. Together, they can then develop a personalized study plan. Throughout their study time together, your child can have the opportunity to take more practice tests on the sections they have been working on. This allows them to see the progress they are making (which is a confidence booster). This also provides the opportunity to go over any questions that were missed with their tutor for clarification. Their tutor can even time the sections to resemble the feel of test day.
