Brookline HSPT Tutoring FAQ
If you have finally chosen the perfect private high school for your child to begin attending, then your child may be facing the HSPT, or High School Placement Test, that many private high schools, especially Catholic ones, require potential new students to complete before they are officially accepted into the school. Our educational directors can help you locate an independent tutor in Brookline, MA, who is skilled at helping students prepare for the HSPT, so your child could be fully prepared to score well on the HSPT .
Even if your child is very bright and typically earns great grades, don't be too confident that they will know how to tackle the HSPT without a little help studying for it. Like many students facing the HSPT, they just may not know how to prepare for a lengthy exam that covers so many subjects. Call Varsity Tutors today to try to help you find an expert HSPT tutor in Brookline who will create a personalized HSPT preparation plan for your child to strive to ensure their success on test day.
What might your child's personal HSPT study plan entail? Every study plan, just like every student, differs depending on the child's individual strengths and weaknesses in the concepts the test will cover. Test sections that always appear on the HSPT include mathematics, quantitative, reading comprehension, language skills, and verbal skills. However, every school can choose to add science, mechanical aptitude, and/or Catholic religion sections to their test. Your child's tutor will assess your child's current level of skill answering the specific types of questions that will appear in each test section, then compose a plan that could help them build their skill in answering the question types your child's tutor determines they are weakest in. Along with re-teaching them the steps to come up with the right answers on the test in a way that is tailored to your child's individual learning style, their tutor could also teach them how to manage their time well, so they don't run out of time on any section, and give them more tips and tricks for scoring well on the test.
Our educational directors can find you an exceptional HSPT tutor in Brookline who has a very flexible schedule and can meet with your child any time morning, afternoon, or evening, that you and your child have free in your busy schedules. Your child's tutor can come to your home, meet your child at a local park, or work with your child any other place most convenient for your family. A great alternative option is to have your child study with their tutor completely online using the Varsity Tutors face-to-face Live Learning Platform.
Varsity Tutors will match you with a HSPT tutor in Brookline, MA, who will motivate your child to reach beyond their goals on the HSPT. It is normal for a child facing an HSPT to not understand how important it is to their future and simply not want to study at all. Your child's tutor could help them realize just how important the test is and motivate them to perform their very best on it!
