If you're looking to show your skills in the subjects you teach in the state of California, you can discuss CSET prep courses with Varsity Tutors. We can set you up in a CSET class that lets you focus on the specific areas of these subject tests that you need to improve most. A CSET course instructor is ready to work directly with you in a one-on-one learning environment to help you get ready to do your best on exam day.
When you sign for CSET prep classes with Varsity Tutors, you have the undivided attention of a test prep expert who understands the requirements of the CSET exams. You can concentrate on the intricacies of the French Subtest or drill on topics to try to meet your basic skills requirements on the Multiple Subjects and Writing Skills tests. CSET courses are all about you and what you want to study. If you aren't sure how you should be preparing or what to focus on, your CSET prep class instructor can assess your capabilities first. With this information, your CSET class can be customized to ensure you're always working on your best opportunities to improve your performance.
CSET tests are plentiful, so there's a wide array of subjects in which you may be looking to earn a credential. Luckily, Varsity Tutors has a large database of tutors to identify a test prep expert who can provide you with an effective CSET course that concentrates on the right academic disciplines. Here's a short list of just some of the CSET subject tests you could prepare for with a tutor:
Credential Areas (non-comprehensive)
- Agriculture
- American Sign Language
- Arabic
- Armenian
- Art
- Biological Science (Specialized)
- Business
- Cantonese
- Chemistry
- English
One of the major advantages of a one-on-one CSET prep course is that you have the opportunity to study the topics of the exams you need to take, but you also get to work on your own study and test-taking skills. Time management and answer elimination strategies for multiple-choice questions are just two ways in which a tutor can help you work your way through a test accurately and efficiently. Building up these skills also tends to build confidence and help those who deal with test anxiety.
Effective test-taking strategies will come in handy on all of the CSET exams. If you consider CSET English, you'll see how a CSET prep course instructor will need to cover both multiple-choice and free response questions:
CSET English
Subtest | Domain | Question Type |
I | Reading Literature | Multiple Choice |
I | Informational Texts | Multiple Choice |
I | Composition and Rhetoric | Multiple Choice |
II | Language, Linguistics, and Literacy | Multiple Choice |
III | Composition and Rhetoric | Response |
III | Reading Literature | Response |
III | Informational Texts | Response |
IV | Communications | Response |
The CSET exams are often an important part of the skills demonstration and licensure process for California teachers looking to find new job opportunities. CSET classes give you the individualized support you need to go after your goals. Tutoring sessions are even convenient because we'll work to find a private instructor who can meet at a time that fits somewhere in your schedule. You'll also be able to meet with your CSET class instructor through our Live Learning Platform for online sessions, so you don't have to figure travel time into your day to get the help that you deserve. If this all sounds good to you, reach out to Varsity Tutors today to get started.

Usually, the first session is a brief review of what has worked, or not worked, in prior tutoring relationships, if applicable. Next, I prioritize the goals of the student. I also will give pre-test material to provide a baseline and to hone my teaching plan.
