Private Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored SSAT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.The Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT, is a challenging step toward admission into a private middle or high school. Students must do well in order to have their application considered. This can be a stressful time for your child. Depending on their grade level, they will take the Elementary (grades 3-4), Middle (grades 5-7), or Upper (grade 8 and up) Level SSAT. Acing the Quantitative, Reading Comprehension, and Verbal Reasoning sections requires practice. In addition to these, there is an unscored essay that is sent to prospective schools. It's safe to say that you want your student to score as high as possible, which may require outside help. Varsity Tutors could help you connect with an independent tutor in Pittsburgh, PA, who can assist your child in understanding the SSAT.
Whether your student takes the SSAT during one of the monthly dates from October through April or in June, they need to prepare in advance to maximize their chances of success. The Elementary Level test alone is one hour and 50 minutes long. Higher-level students are tested even more, with an exam that clocks in at just over three hours. Studying alone might lead to missed opportunities, such as the opportunity to take relevant timed practice tests, use quality study materials, and develop vocabulary. Test prep classes cover a lot of ground, but don't focus specifically on your child's needs. Fortunately, help is out there. Contact Varsity Tutors for assistance in connecting your student with SSAT tutors near Pittsburgh.
A personal tutor can target each lesson based on the strengths and weaknesses they identify. Much time is saved, as only your child's areas of confusion are covered in detail. The tutor can apply the appropriate teaching method based on your student's math or reading proficiency. Continuous assessments track their progress and allow the tutor to adapt the study plan accordingly.
Our educational directors in Pittsburgh can locate an SSAT tutor who might help your student meet their goals and excel on the exam. They can also meet on a flexible basis. Lessons can be scheduled between or after classes, in the evening, or on the weekend, and may be held in your child's home or another convenient location. Face-to-face online lessons, made possible by a live learning platform, are available if your child isn't able to meet in person. Whatever the case, the tutor is there to serve your child's needs. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can quickly connect your child with SSAT tutoring in Pittsburgh, PA.
