A pervasive characteristic of SSAT private school admission exams for current fifth through ninth graders is that they are very difficult, oftentimes featuring Math / Reading / Verbal test questions one to two grade levels above your child’s current public or private school curriculum. A reason for this is that the SSAT targets a small, highly competitive group of students applying for top private schools across the nation.
To better prepare the dozens of fifth thru ninth graders I coach each year, I have used my 10+ years of teaching / test-preparation / curriculum-development experience to create study guides that closely approximate the sequence, scope, phrasing and difficulty level of actual SSAT exams.

Thank you for taking an interest in my math and test preparation programs.
As a math and standardized exam preparation teacher/tutor of 10+ years with experience ranging from Arithmetic to Calculus to SSAT / SAT / ACT / GRE / GED
Praxis TestPrep (all sections), I am intimately familiar with the sequence and scope of the math concepts and test preparation skills a student needs to know to reach goals in middle school, high school, college and graduate school.
A daunting roadblock to student comprehension of higher-level concepts is the clashing of this learning personality between instructor (of whom 80% are concrete sequential) and student (e.g. abstract random) which too often results in school anxiety and parental dissatisfaction. With Oahu student-to-teacher ratios escalating, let personalized tutoring sessions save your child hours / days / weeks / months of unnecessary frustrated confusion pondering mystifying academic disciplines, all the while, unleashing his or her unlimited analytic potential to engage higher-level learning endeavors (no complex terminology, no abstract symbolism)!
