Meraiah: Boulder SAT tutor
Certified SAT Prep Tutor in Boulder, CO
I'm a math department tutor at Benedictine College where I am studying math. I love helping students get to the point where a concept clicks and it finally makes sense! I only began loving math half-way through high school, so I also understand the deep dislike of math which many students have, but I don't want to leave them there; I want them to see the beauty of the universality and order of math.

Boulder SAT Tutoring FAQ
If your student could use some additional help when preparing to take the SAT, Varsity Tutors can help you find expert Boulder SAT tutors. When students find specific subjects covered in the SAT difficult, it is not always easy for them to get the assistance they need in a conventional classroom. When your student studies with a personal instructor, they can ask as many questions as needed and spend as much time as required on a particular concept to better their comprehension in it. We can help you find Boulder SAT tutors who have the needed knowledge and experience to help build your student's skill levels and confidence.
How is Boulder SAT tutoring different from learning in a traditional classroom?
When your student works with qualified Boulder SAT tutors, they have the advantage of receiving undivided attention from their mentor. In a regular classroom, teachers typically have a set pace and curriculum to follow and this doesn't give them much of a chance to work individually with students who are struggling with a particular subject. Teachers also tend to have one style of teaching that they stick to, even if it's not the best style for your student. This can prove detrimental to students who need more assistance in complex subjects and can cause them to fall behind their classmates.
Fortunately, when your student studies with Boulder SAT tutors, they can hone in on the areas that are troubling them the most. Their private instructor can also try out different teaching styles until they find one that suits your student's preferred learning style the best. For example, if your student is someone that does best when presented with visual studying aids, their instructor can help them design color-coded charts, graphs, and flashcards to better understand presented data in math and solve problems. If your student does better when learning audibly, their instructor can host short lectures and engaging conversations about how to demonstrate their grasp of math concepts, operations, and relations.
Boulder SAT tutoring gives your student the ability to quickly review subjects they are already confident in, so they can focus their energy on the subjects that are more challenging in nature. This can make study sessions more efficient since they focus on the areas of the SAT that your student is weakest in. If your student already knows how to identify relationships between text and accompanying data in reading, their instructor can recommend that they move on to understanding how authors present arguments with evidence. These types of lessons can help your student build up their knowledge bank in SAT subjects that they can later utilize during their test.
What are some advantages of having my student study with Boulder SAT tutors near me?
Boulder SAT tutors can assess how well your student understands the different subjects that the SAT will cover so they can design and implement lessons that will more effectively help with their unique learning needs. Since lesson plans are flexible, the instructor can always spend more time than planned on a more complex topic or move onto another concept once your student is confident in an area.
Boulder SAT tutoring gives your student's instructor the time needed to get to know your student on a personal level, so they can better understand their likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. By building a relationship with your student, the instructor can not only create tailored lesson plans and adapt the style in which they teach, but they can also help your student to gain more confidence and have a positive outlook about education in general.
Preparing for the SAT with an empathetic mentor lets your student solidify their bond with them. This can change the way your student views the subject material they are studying. In a traditional classroom, when students come across confusing topics, they do not always have the chance to delve further into the concept to understand why they find it so difficult. They also might have a hard time admitting when they need help. However, during their one-on-one Boulder SAT tutoring sessions, your student may feel more relaxed and comfortable admitting to their instructor when they find something challenging.
Working with a private mentor also lets your student get feedback immediately. The SAT is made up of several parts, including Math, Reading, Writing and Language, and the optional SAT Essay. It is important that your student has a solid understanding of the different topics covered in each of these sections. When students begin falling behind, it can often prove difficult to catch back up. However, with an instructor who understands the challenges they face, your student can work in a safe and encouraging environment where they can feel comfortable trying out new techniques, making mistakes, and focusing on their own personal development and goals.
How can I find time for Boulder SAT tutoring?
Since there are many benefits to studying with a personal SAT tutor, we have made it more convenient than ever to fit study sessions into you and your student's schedule. We can locate a private mentor who can meet either in person or online and who can schedule the lessons around the time constraints you have set so that your student gets the help they may need without it interfering too much with your other obligations.
If you have decided that your student would benefit from online study sessions, you can take advantage of the Live Learning Platform and all the convenience that comes with it. This platform was built to increase the engagement and efficiency of lessons and has several features that Boulder SAT tutors and your student can utilize, including a shared document editor, a virtual whiteboard, and a video chat.
The live video chat lets your student connect with their instructor and communicate just as efficiently as they can in person. This presents your student's instructor with the opportunity to answer questions your student has and offer more in-depth explanations on the subjects that your student struggles with understanding. With the virtual whiteboard and shared document editor, the instructor can watch your student live as they practice working through problems. If your student makes a mistake, their mentor can point it out right away and walk them through the problem to make sure they understand what caused the issue. This can help your student increase their skills in a subject, so they better understand how to solve similar problems when it's time for their SAT.
Since the Live Learning Platform makes it easy for your student and their instructor to connect, you don't have to worry about a long commute. Boulder SAT tutoring can be as simple as having a compatible device and a reliable connection to the internet. Then your student merely needs to pick a place they feel comfortable studying. This can be from their favorite cafe, from their home, or at the Boulder Public Library.
