...from the experience. As a tutor, I believe that students will enjoy learning if they understand the material rather than memorize it, so I always strive to clarify the underlying principles and central themes of any topic I am explaining. This also helps the student apply their knowledge independently to other areas, which is the ultimate goal. I tutor programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I also tutor math and Microsoft Excel.

Private SSAT Tutoring in Yonkers, NY
Receive personally tailored SSAT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
The SSAT, or Secondary School Admissions Test, is given to students in third through eleventh grade who are applying to enter certain private schools. The test has three levels, depending on your student's grade level, and all levels have sections on quantitative, reading comprehension, and verbal reasoning, and an essay. The essay is not scored, but is sent to potential schools so they can assess your child's writing abilities. Getting a high score on the SSAT can open educational doors for your child that can benefit them for the rest of their life. It's important for your student to be able to study well for the exam. One way to try to make sure your student studies successfully is by acquiring a private tutor for them. Varsity Tutors can assist you in finding a SSAT tutor near Yonkers.
Our educational directors will find you an expert SSAT tutor in Yonkers, NY, who will design a study plan that focuses on your child's specific needs. Their tutor will learn your child's learning style, and they will teach with that in mind. Whatever your child's strengths and weaknesses are, their tutor could help enhance their strengths, and use those strengths to boost the areas they are weak in. Because their tutor will be right there to answer all your student's questions as they arise, they will get more out of their study sessions than they would in a classroom, where the teacher has to focus on a middle-of-the-road teaching method, and never on individual students' needs.
Our educational directors could help you find a professional SSAT tutor in Yonkers, NY, who will cater to your child's every need. If your student needs to spend extra time on a particular subject, their tutor will do so. Alternatively, if your child is already comfortable with a subject and does well on a diagnostic exam, their tutor won't waste any study time going over that material. If your child likes playing games online, their tutor will likely find some educational games that can help them absorb the content they need to know.
Your child's tutor will also work with them at a time and in a location that is most convenient for your family. They can meet in person at a library or your home, or they can meet online through our life learning platform. Whatever your family's particular situation is, Varsity Tutors' experienced educational directors are happy to help students in Yonkers connect with a qualified SSAT tutor who might help them pursue their goals.
