Along with Back to School comes the need for many parents to find tutors for their children. Whether your child needs help in a particular school subject or they need to prepare for private school or college admission exams, its hard to know where to turn. We asked Ivan Mervis, owner and director of Chyten Education Center in Sandy Springs to help guide our parents through the process:
Chyten Education offers one-on-one tutoring for students of all ages - how do private sessions benefit a student?
There is nothing like one-on-one tutoring to focus on each student's individual needs. Whether it's test prep or tutoring in any subject, Chyten tutors customize lessons for each student. And the scheduling is also customized to work with each family's hectic calendar, offering appointments seven days a week.
For parents contemplating private school for their child, when do you recommend they start preparing for the SSAT test?
Students should plan to take the SSAT two or three times on consecutive test dates. Start preparing about eight weeks before the initial test. The SSAT is a very challenging test and even the brightest students should not go in unprepared. Read more:

SAT and ACT testing is so competitive and confusing. How do I figure out where to start?
Take Chyten's ACT vs SAT Comparison Test as early as 10th grade. This 3-hour diagnostic test will help you determine which test is a better match for your student. Colleges accept either test on an equal basis, so start with the test that will yield better results. The Chyten director will offer advice and answer your testing questions in a private consultation, all at no charge. Read more:

All Chyten tutors have Master's degrees - why is that so important when looking for a tutor?
Chyten is the only tutoring center that hires only experienced educators with advanced degrees. They are experts in their fields, dedicated to improve learning and make it fun. These greater capabilities enable them to identify each student's individual needs and customize each lesson to meet those needs. We also demonstrate to students how long-term commitment to education will pave the way to lifelong career success.
