Smithtown SSAT Tutoring FAQ
If you have a child who needs help preparing for the SSAT (Secondary School Admissions Test), Varsity Tutors can help you find an experienced SSAT tutor in Smithtown, NY, who can try to help your student attain success by creating a study plan that is focused on them. The SSAT is required for admission into numerous private middle and high schools around the country. Different levels of testing are administered for different grades, however, the exam is divided into the same four sections, including math, reading comprehension, and verbal reasoning, with a non-graded essay portion.
Parents and students seeking SSAT tutoring in Smithtown can get help locating an independent tutor from our educational directors. Upon your call, you and your child could be matched with a tutor who can assess your student's goals, academic strengths and weaknesses, and design a tutoring program unique to them. Their tutor can give them the much needed one-on-one attention they need to potentially improve on the SSAT, in a way that's unattainable in traditional classroom settings.
At a time that fits your schedule, your student's tutor can arrange study sessions at your house or at a common area in town. Grab a table at Roast Coffee and Tea Trading Company or Tiger Lily Cafe, relax, and let your student dive into analyzing literature, algebraic concepts, logic, and geometric spatial sense. If you are not able to meet in person on occasion or at all, arrange time online where your child can study with their tutor face-to-face via our live web platform. Wherever you decide, your child's tutor can make the study time well-spent by providing an environment suitable for learning and retaining, sending your student on their way to SSAT confidence and academic success.
Varsity Tutors will hand-pick an SSAT tutor in Smithtown, NY, who can work with your child's individual learning style, abilities, and personality. If your student needs help organizing and composing essays, their tutor could help by breaking down concepts of concise writing and try to guide them to well-written prose in no time. Even though the essay portion is not scored on the SSAT, it is sent to the student's school as an example of their writing skills. Let their experienced SSAT tutor help them develop their eyes and ears for the written word.
