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 Schools Admissions Test (SSAT) is a student's entryway into private schools at middle school or high school level. At all levels, the test is important enough and difficult enough that your child might benefit from some expert help in preparing for one or more of the sections.
Contact Varsity Tutors to get connected with SSAT tutors in Poway, CA, for any level of the SSAT, and for specific or general help getting ready for the test. The test takes over 90 minutes at the elementary level, and over three hours at middle and upper levels. Each level of the test requires your child to demonstrate expertise in verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, quantitative reasoning, and mathematical thinking. The elementary test takes 90 minutes, while the middle level and upper level tests take three hours. Test anxiety can be compounded in anyone by that fact. Practice and coaching can help diffuse this anxiety, especially in a young student, so keep that in mind when deciding whether your student will prepare alone.
If you have a child who struggles with reading, but does well with math, some coaching in that area might be enough, but many young people need help in various topics. There is also an essay, which is not scored, but is sent to schools for review. Writing vexes many students who understand spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Writing is another area where an SSAT tutor could help your child perform well and make it into a great private school. Elementary level, middle level, and upper level students will have their own challenges to face. The upper level test in particular includes algebra, geometry, and probability questions.
A skilled SSAT tutor in Poway will take your child's interests into account to create engrossing study sessions that keep them focused and engaged the entire time. The tutor can assess your child's specific weaknesses, develop a plan, coach your student through the necessary lessons, and assess his or her progress. Tutors are used to meeting in homes or other convenient locations and online. Whether you know where your child needs help already, or just want to pursue general test tutoring, we can help. Our educational directors can find you an exceptional SSAT tutor in Poway who can try to help your child develop a new appreciation for math, writing, and reading.
