Private In-Home and Online Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations. Varsity Tutors helps thousands of people asking, "How do I connect with the best tutors near me?"
Admissions officials at private and independent schools use the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) to assess the academic skills of students looking to enroll. The SSAT gives school administrators a fair method to evaluate and compare student applicants, regardless of their socioeconomic background or previous school experience.
One way that students can prepare for the SSAT is to work with a personal tutor. At Varsity Tutors, our educational directors can help you find a qualified, professional SSAT tutor in Tampa, FL. Many of these tutors have extensive experience in preparing students to take the SSAT, and can offer some vital strategies to try to help your child pass this important test.
The SSAT covers subjects such as vocabulary and analogy completion, reading comprehension, and grade-appropriate math skills. For students at higher levels, the SSAT includes an essay section which calls on test takers to write about a specific subject within the given time frame. An experienced SSAT tutor can guide your child through each of these sections, conduct practice test sections, and give them an idea as to what they can expect during the test itself.
The tutors that our educational directors can help you find in Tampa are experienced professionals who are skilled in working to help students try to understand the intricacies of the SSAT. Some parents may consider sending their children to test prep classes to get them ready for the SSAT. While these classes can be useful, they can not give your child the individual attention that a private SSAT tutor can.
A veteran SSAT tutor can also address one of the major issues that prevent students from passing important exams: test anxiety. Although most students can grasp the basics of the SSAT subjects in a relaxed environment, they may freeze up under the pressure of sitting for an exam. The tutor can prepare your child mentally for the test by running practice sessions that resemble the real testing session.
An expert SSAT tutor in Tampa, FL, could help you develop a study plan to make a good use of your time. Your child can meet with an individual SSAT tutor after school, during evening hours, or on weekends. Our online live interactive learning platform allows students and tutors to communicate through a real-time video link.
Contact us to find an experienced SSAT tutor in Tampa who can provide a positive environment that might make it easy for your child to learn and understand what it takes to potentially perform well on this test.
