私立学校在圣马特奥区域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.
