Newark SSAT Tutoring FAQ
The educational directors at Varsity Tutors could help you connect with SSAT tutors in Newark. These tutors know the SSAT like the back of their hands, plus they have spent years working with children. They can meet with your child at your home or at their favorite restaurant. Your child can also have face-to-face online sessions via the Internet. If your child has a sports tournament coming up or is busy with volunteer work and you are concerned about them getting the assistance they need, that's okay, but there's nothing to worry about. The tutors are available when your child is available.
The Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) is a private school admissions test taken by children in the 3rd-11th grade levels. The exam is offered once a month from October to April, and it's even offered in June. It quizzes kids on quantitative, verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, and essay. The first three sections are multiple choice and scored, but the essay part is not scored and is only used to measure writing skills. By passing and even acing this exam, your child could likely increase their chances of acceptance into an elite institution and excel in the next grade level.
We could help you find a professional tutor in Newark to try to help your child build upon their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses in the SSAT. While some schools give out practice tests, they tend to be focused more on the whole test than whether students understand a specific subject. Your child's tutor will review the parts they know upon request and spend more time on sections that confuse them. Is your child struggling with math? The tutor can assist them with flashcards and other math-related tools. Does your child have trouble with spelling or vocabulary? The tutors could help them with phonics and definitions. Perhaps your child knows the subjects, but is nervous about test-taking in general. Their tutor can teach them relaxation tips to quell their fears. Most important of all, their tutors will encourage them to ask any questions on their minds. During exams, students need to be silent, and talking, even to ask a question, can get them into trouble. There is no such thing as too many questions according to their tutor. Varsity Tutors' educational directors can find you an SSAT tutor in Newark, NJ, who can work at your child's pace.
