Santa Barbara SSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) will be part of the application procedure when your student is trying to get into a top private school.

Individual tutoring can be beneficial to students at any level when achieving a high score is the goal. Varsity Tutors' educational directors can help you connect with a professional SSAT tutor in Santa Barbara.
There are four sections to the test, covering English skills, math skills, verbal abilities and writing aptitude. The subject matter will depend on the grade level of your child. Your tutor will try to make the material accessible to your student, regardless of age or ability. One of the benefits of tutoring is that your child could be able to work at his or her own pace, without any pressure.
