SSAT TUTORING offers a complete preparation program for SSAT (Verbal and Math). The preliminary instructions include information about the format of the SSAT, timing, scoring, and content. Next would come the evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the student. This stage is very important: by taking the test, the student becomes familiar with the format and content of the test, which by itself can contribute to some increase of the score.
I am an experienced SSAT tutor and a teacher. For many years I have been helping students to prepare for this very challenging test and be accepted to the private schools of their choice. Since the requirements at most prep schools are very high, students strive to reach the top level of 100%. In order to do that, my program includes an intensive review of the vocabulary that a student is likely to encounter on the Middle and Upper levels of the SSAT. To ease the task of memorization, I use vocabulary games, drills, and numerous examples.
Even the top students with a powerful vocabulary need hints on how to manage time and avoid possible traps. An experienced tutor can show great techniques that have been proven to be beneficial in improving the scores of the test-takers. Among them is the familiarization with ten types of analogies most commonly used on the test. With knowledge and practice the majority of the students find the analogy questions manageable and enjoyable.
Math is an important and challenging part of the SSAT test. My SSAT Tutoring provides a comprehensive overview of types of problems and their solution. Depending on the needs of a student, I choose various methods and approaches to the preparation. For some students, the best way is a preliminary review of math themes while for others it is more beneficial to go straight to the tests. There are proven ways of dealing with the test challenges which will give students the opportunity to be ahead of the curve!
