OUR METHOD
Why the Avery Prep approach works for SSAT
The SSAT rewards both content knowledge and test-taking skill. We build both — starting from a real baseline, not a generic starting point.
Baseline + section-by-section plan
We assess before we prescribe — so every hour of prep targets the areas that will move the score most.
Content reinforcement
Verbal, quantitative, and reading — taught at the right level for the SSAT tier your student is sitting.
Pacing strategies and timed sets
Systematic pacing practice so your student stops losing points to time — and starts trusting their own rhythm.
Retention-focused practice
Methods that make learning stick under pressure — so performance on test day reflects what was actually learned.
Ongoing oversight and adjustments
Krystyna reviews progress so the plan evolves as the student does — not on a fixed schedule.
The result
A student who arrives at test day prepared, paced, and confident — not hoping for the best.
“The consistency was the thing. Week by week, it just got better.”
— Parent of SSAT student
STRUCTURE
What tutoring actually looks like
Most students meet 1–2x per week with structured practice between sessions.
Sessions are structured to match the student’s current phase of prep — earlier sessions focus on content, later ones on full timed sets and accuracy.
Sample Weekly Rhythm
TIMING
When should you start?
Most families benefit from 2–5 months of prep. The key is enough runway to build skills steadily — not sprint to the finish line.
Ideal: 3–5 months before test date
Enough time to assess, build content knowledge, develop pacing strategies, and practice under timed conditions.
Starting with less time? Still effective.
A focused 4–8 week plan can still produce meaningful improvements. We’ll be honest about what’s achievable and build around your deadline.
