Newton SSAT Tutoring FAQ
Let Varsity Tutors find your child an expert SSAT tutor in Newton to help them develop an individualized study plan to ensure they are adequately prepared on test day.

The tutor can also assess your child's knowledge in the sections on the SSAT, which are the analytical writing section, the verbal reasoning section, the quantitative section, and the unscored essay. Using that information, the tutor can develop a personalized study plan that focuses on building your child's knowledge in those areas and eliminating any weak spots. In every tutoring session, your child gets immediate feedback and their tutor's full attention, for a streamlined learning experience that's more effective than the classroom format.
