Private ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension Tutoring in Birmingham
Receive personally tailored ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
The ISEE (or Independent School Entrance Exam) is a test that students may take to get into schools with selective enrollment. The ISEE-Middle Level is the exam for students in 7th and 8th grade and consists of five sections, including one on reading comprehension. If your child needs a boost in order to reach their academic goals, Varsity Tutors can refer you to an experienced ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension tutor who meets all of your needs.
The Reading Comprehension portion of the exam consists of six reading passages on a variety of topics, including history, literature, science, and contemporary life. Students are expected to read these passages and then answer questions based on the following bullet points:
Main Idea
Supporting Idea
Inferences based on the text
Vocabulary
Organizational Logic
Tone, Style, and Figurative Language
Students only have 35 minutes to read all six passages and answer a total of 36 multiple-choice questions, each with four answer choices. That is not a lot of time, so effective time management skills are often a priority during ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension prep. The best way to illustrate this is through timed practice exams taken during ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension tutoring sessions.
One proven time-saving technique is "active reading," in this case noting down the lines that important information appears on for future reference. Not only does this increase how much of the material a student retains, it also makes it easier to go back and look for something to double-check a response. If your child is not in the habit of jotting down tidbits as they read, this skill may be practiced during their ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension tutoring sessions.
Likewise, an ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension tutor may be able to share test-taking strategies that a student can fall back on if they are unsure of an answer. If you need to take a guess, getting your odds to 1-in-3 or even 1-in-2 can be highly beneficial.
ISEE-Middle Level Reading Comprehension tutoring sessions also allow students to build a personal rapport with their instructor. If they have a hard time recalling all of the figurative language that could appear in a given document, flashcards may be created to make them easier to study. Working with a private tutor also allows students to receive timely responses to any questions asked.
