Oak Park SSAT Tutoring FAQ
For students who would like to apply to attend a prestigious private school, passing the SSAT, or the Secondary School Admissions Test, may be required. If your child needs extra help studying for the test that can set them up for an outstanding education at a private school, Varsity Tutors can find a skilled professional SSAT tutor in Oak Park, IL, who can give your child much-needed one-on-one attention.
Because the SSAT is required for admittance into many private schools for students in grades 3-11, there are three versions of the test: Elementary, Middle, and Upper Level. When you connect with a SSAT tutor for your child to help them prepare for the test, the tutor will prepare a learning plan that meshes with your child's learning habits and pace. An SSAT tutor in Oak Park can make all of your child's study sessions both efficient and effective so no time is wasted.
Whichever level of the SSAT your child is taking, the assessment is comprised of four sections, including quantitative, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and essay-writing. The quantitative section will pose math questions that are grade-appropriate. Depending on the grade they're in, your child will receive problems that involve the concepts of operations, number sense, geometry, probability, and others. The reading portion simply asks questions based on short passages provided on the test. The verbal reasoning portion will challenge test-takers to answer analogy and vocabulary questions. If your child struggles with any of these subjects, you may want to connect with a private tutor to help them prepare so they can get into the school of their dreams. An experienced SSAT tutor in Oak Park, IL, can focus only on those issues that your child is struggling with to make the study sessions as efficient as possible.
Varsity Tutors can find you a tutor that may be able to meet with your child at a time and place that works best for your family. Your child can use our online learning platform, which allows for face-to-face online communication. The tutor can also meet with your child at your home, or even at a local cafe, like Buzz Cafe. Your tutor may be able to work with your child wherever they are, which will provide your student with a comfortable environment to learn and receive feedback. Your child can receive focused attention as they study for the SSAT with a professional tutor. Our educational directors in Oak Park can locate a SSAT tutor who might help your child meet their goals and excel on the exam.
