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.Trying to get your child accepted into a top private middle school or high school? Then they will likely have to take the Secondary School Admissions Test, also known as the SSAT. This test is required of students in grades 3-11 who apply to attend most private schools. Many elite secondary private schools don't just require passing scores, but require students to excel on the test. You don't want a negative test score added to your child's application portfolio. A professional SSAT tutor in Richmond, VA, can create a study plan specifically designed for your child to potentially perform well on with a high score.
There are three test levels for various grade levels: elementary level for third and fourth graders, middle level for fifth and sixth graders, and upper level for eighth graders and higher. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can connect you with SSAT tutoring in Richmond, VA, to maximize your child's chances at any level. All levels of the SSAT are broken down into various sections, including quantitative, verbal reasoning, and reading comprehension. Each section of the test is scored separately, based on the test level. There is also an unscored essay section, for which a quality tutor can try to help your child prepare.
Of the three sections on the SSAT, which areas does your child need help in most? Some students struggle with functions, algebra, measurements, operations, and number sense. Others have issues with analogies and vocabulary, or remembering and comprehending what they've read. Either way, a tutor trained to try to help your child pass the SSAT might make a difference for their test score. A skilled SSAT tutor in Richmond will take your child's interests into account to create engrossing study sessions that keep them focused and engaged the entire time.
Tutoring sessions can prepare your child for the SSAT. Because the sessions are done one-on-one, your child is the one and only focus of the learning experience. Curriculum is customized to meet your child's needs, so she or he can focus on weak areas, making the most of study time. With a 1:1 teacher-student ratio, distractions usually found in classroom settings are potentially eliminated, which also allows your child to learn at their own pace.
Give your child a fighting chance if you really want them to compete for a spot at the top private school. The educational experts at Varsity Tutors will match your child with a tutor who specializes in SSAT preparedness. Their tutor will meet with your student at your home, office, or other place that's convenient for you. We also offer a live online learning platform, where your child can meet with their tutor on the web, and work face-to-face to learn what it takes to excel at the test. Call our educational directors to find an expert SSAT tutor in Richmond to strive to ensure your student is ready on test day.
