Scottsdale SSAT Tutoring FAQ
What's the key to getting your child accepted into a private high school or middle school? Getting a good score on the Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT, is the key. This standardized admissions test is given to each student between grades 3-11 to determine the potential for success in a particular school. It's used to help private schools judge applicants using a single, fair grading scale. If you have hopes of your child attending an elite boarding or private school, connecting with a tutor could help. The Varsity Tutors educational directors can identify a private SSAT tutor in Scottsdale who will address all of you and your child's SSAT concerns.
The SSAT consists of three categories: the quantitative section, verbal reasoning, and reading comprehension. A professional tutor will be well-versed in all areas, including the SSAT essay question, which is used to evaluate your child's writing skills and level. Your child's tutor will review past work, while teaching your child new skills that are needed to excel on the exam. Once weaknesses and strong points have been noted, a custom-designed lesson plan can be created. This curriculum will focus on improving in trouble areas, while understanding the strong ones. We will find you a skilled SSAT tutor in Scottsdale who will work to try to give the knowledge your child needs to thoroughly understand the SSAT.
Over time, your child could learn to understand new study techniques practiced during tutoring sessions. Positive reinforcement will be used for encouragement, while improvement will be inspired through constructive criticism. One-on-one teaching means that your child's academics are the sole priority. So, your child can take the time needed to understand a lesson, without worrying about the slower or faster paces of others. Plus, tutoring sessions are available day and evening, when you and your child's schedules allow. All of this can help your child do better in school, as well as on overall test scores. If you're preparing your child to take the SSAT, let our educational directors connect you with a tutor in Scottsdale, AZ who might help your student work towards academic success.
Your child's tutor will come to your home, or wherever it's most convenient for you. You can also schedule sessions face-to-face, on the Internet for added convenience. A professional SSAT tutor in Scottsdale, AZ, could provide your child the best opportunity for success on the exam. Contact the educational directors here at Varsity Tutors for assistance today.
