...world and especially to things the student already knows they care about. Second, getting to know the student- everyone has unique talents, tendencies, and goals. There is an area of overlap between each school subject (even standardized tests, which require critical thinking!) and a student's goals, and it's usually bigger than it first appears. A star athlete doesn't just need to pass English to graduate; she needs to be able to write a well organized...

I believe that that success of future adults begins with our children now. Children all have preferred learning methods and it is important to keep in mind the cognitive levels of various students. I have been working with children for over 5 years now. I have 2 children of my own, ages 10 years and 1 year, and I also teach 3rd grade at a public school in Virginia.

How can a tutor help your child master the SSAT?
The Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT, is the benchmark administrators of competitive schools use to assess the abilities of children. It is given in formats for students in grades 3-11. Your child may therefore take the exam if they're looking to get into an exclusive elementary, middle, or high school. While the elementary version is 1 hour, 50 minutes, the other two are over 3 hours long. These multiple choice tests can therefore challenge your student in many ways they're not used to. Getting from point A to point B may be illusive. Anxieties can certainly get in the way as well. Varsity Tutors' experienced educational directors are happy to try to help your student in Portsmouth, Virginia, connect with a professional SSAT tutor, who can try to help them work towards their goals.
Unlike typical classes or in-school test prep, your child's private tutor is flexible. They are going to meet wherever your student is most comfortable - at school, a library, or in the comfort of their very own home. Lessons may also take place after school or on the weekend, when your child is available. In the event your child is comfortable with face-to-face online lessons, a live learning platform enables the tutor to engage them via the Internet. If you're hunting for a flexible, no-hassle SSAT tutor, let us help your student find SSAT tutoring in Portsmouth so they will adequately prepare for their test.
