How can a tutor help your child master the SSAT?
Is your goal to see your child attend a private school? If so, then you will want to make sure they are as prepared as possible for the Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT. The results of this exam are used in determining admission to many private schools. To help your child prepare, enlisting the help of a private tutor may be a good idea. Varsity Tutors can assist you in your search for an SSAT tutor in St. Louis, Missouri. Your child can meet their tutor at a convenient time and place, either in person or online.
A private St. Louis, Missouri, SSAT tutor can help your student study each section of the exam in a one-on-one environment. Whether your child wants to go over every section (quantitative, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and the essay) or just a select few, their tutor can assist them. They can even take a practice exam to help discover which areas they need to focus most on with their tutor. After taking a practice exam, their tutor can go over any missed questions and explain to your child the concepts behind the correct answers. While there are study guides and test prep books with answer keys for practice exams, having a private tutor go over a concept that was allows for immediate feedback and direct instruction. Your child's tutor can also create a custom study plan tailored to your child's personal studying needs.
