San Mateo SSAT Tutoring FAQ
Private schools all through the San Mateo area are looking for bright and promising students to apply and become a part of their living and learning communities. Is your child someone they might be looking for? Unfortunately, private school admissions staff are not able to meet and interview every child that applies; they rely on the Secondary School Admission Test, or SSAT, as their primary screening tool. The SSAT is the standardized measurement of academic ability, and it is used to weed through the pools of applicants that cross their desks every day. Varsity Tutors can assist you in finding an independent, professional SSAT tutor in San Mateo, CA who can bring your student to the top of the admission piles and make sure that they get noticed.
The SSAT tests your child in four distinct sections: quantitative (numbers and math), reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and essay. Impressive scores in all sections help your child to stand out to admissions staff at the schools you want them to get into. Your student must be up to speed in a wide spectrum of skills, from number sense and geometry to vocabulary and analogies. The essay section will give prospective schools a clear view of your child's writing ability. What will it tell them? Our educational directors will find you an expert SSAT tutor in San Mateo who will design a study plan that focuses on your child's specific needs. The tutor will assess your student's current abilities, strengths, and weaknesses and build on that foundation, working with them to bring a greater understanding of the subjects and teaching them more effective test-taking strategies. Your child can never be over-prepared for a test that holds so much weight for their future. Call Varsity Tutors for a San Mateo SSAT tutor today!
Tutors are flexible enough to fit into the tightest schedule, and willing to meet you and your child wherever they learn best, from a booth at The Habit to a picnic table at Sugar Loaf. If home is where your student does their best learning, your tutor will come to them there, and if an in-person meeting is out of the question, they are also available to meet face-to-face via our online learning platform. Whatever works best for your child could work for them! Call our educational consultants today to be matched with an independent, professional SSAT tutor in San Mateo, CA who could help your child get ready on test day!
