We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020.

The pod experience was invaluable … More for all of our families during a difficult year and we were so grateful to have found this partnership! We also want to appreciate Craig for helping to match us with a tutor on very short notice after we had cycled through a few folks who were not able to see the commitment through.

As an adult student diagnosed with a learning disability during grad school, I knew I needed help dealing with my Master's program's demanding workload. I was seriously considering dropping out when I was referred to Themba Tutors. … More I was paired up with a wonderful tutor, Julie, who was a total lifesaver. I learned many techniques that I can utilize in the future as I embark on the next phase of my career.
I can wholeheartedly say after working with Themba for two years that I would not have finished my program without this organization. And I am so thankful I selected them. -
We were introduced to a wonderful tutor: Mcedwyn. He and our son, a freshman in college, worked well together. As a result, our son’s grades significantly improved.

We have been with our tutor, Cailin Schiller, for two years, from 5th - 7th grade. She started as an executive functioning tutor with my daughter.

Cailin made Math accessible and understandable to her in a way that even her teachers had not been able to do. She differentiated reading, writing and math tasks and assignments to tailor them to my daughter’s unique learning differences. Not only did it have an effect on her grades and her work efficiency, but she finally could do her work with less anxiety. Even my daughter’s teachers used Cailin’s guidance to modify their work with her. But most importantly, she became my daughter’s favorite resource. I can’t say how invaluable Cailin has been to my daughter’s progress and well-being. I’d recommend her a million times over. She is a gem.

What is the SSAT?
The SSAT is a valuable tool used by private schools in the NYC metro area to evaluate applicants and make admissions decisions. With its focus on reading, math, and verbal skills, as well as the student’s writing ability, the SSAT is an important part of the admissions process for many private schools. Working with a qualified tutor in the NYC metro area can help your child prepare for the SSAT and increase their chances of achieving a high score. With an experienced tutor, your child can develop the skills necessary to understand the test, answer questions accurately, and write a strong essay. Investing in quality SSAT tutoring can be the key to getting into the best private schools in NYC.
The Elementary-Level SSAT lasts approximately 110 minutes, while the Middle and Upper-Level SSATs last approximately 170 minutes. The Elementary-Level exam has one break, whereas the Middle and Upper-Level exams have two.
The SSAT is available on paper and on computer. Middle and Upper-Level SSAT students can take the paper test on any of the normal dates listed below. Students in the Middle and Upper Levels may also take one additional paper test on a flex date. In addition, students in the Middle and Upper Levels can take up to two computer-based assessments at home or at a Prometric testing center.
The Elementary Level SSAT is presently only available on paper and can be taken three times each year, twice on the usual dates indicated below and once on a flex date.

Achieving success on the SSAT requires more than just knowledge and skills. Motivation and confidence play equally important roles in achieving top scores. Lack of confidence or motivation can affect a student’s ability to focus, leading to underperformance on the exam.
Here are some tips to help boost your child’s motivation and confidence on the SSAT:
- Start with a Positive Mindset: Encourage your child to approach the exam with a positive attitude. Remind them of their past achievements and let them know that they are capable of performing well.
- Set Realistic Goals: Setting realistic goals helps students to stay motivated and focused. Discussing and setting achievable goals with your child can help them create a roadmap for their success.
- Focus on the Process: Encourage your child to focus on the process rather than the outcome. This means focusing on the steps needed to prepare for the exam rather than just the final score.
- Celebrate Small Wins: Celebrate your child’s small wins along the way. Acknowledge their hard work and progress, no matter how small.
- Practice, Practice, Practice: Encourage your child to practice consistently. This not only helps them to build their skills but also increases their confidence and motivation.
Our tutors are experienced in providing positive feedback and encouragement to help students stay motivated and confident. We also offer specific strategies to help students overcome test anxiety, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques. With our guidance and support, your child can excel on the SSAT and achieve their academic goals.
