Saagar: Los Angeles GRE tutor
Certified GRE Prep Tutor in Los Angeles, CA
...I believe tutoring is about passion and communication. If the student doesn't care about the subject, it will be very difficult for them to learn it. I strongly believe I will be able to not just teach my students anything they'd wish to learn, but also help them enjoy it and foster a desire to learn more than just what was required. Communication is key; I am always available to help via a call/text/email.

Los Angeles GRE Tutoring FAQ
If you're preparing to take the GRE for graduate school, Varsity Tutors can connect you with expert Los Angeles GRE tutoring who can help expedite your review.
The GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, can be an integral component of your graduate school application package, so it's essential to set aside a proper amount of time to study. It's also essential to spend your time wisely, which means focusing in on your areas of need and reviewing up to date content you can expect to encounter on the exam.
Studying with the best Los Angeles GRE tutors can provide you with access to expert instruction that can lend structure and guidance to your review. Varsity Tutors also eliminates the need for you to spend hours trying to determine which test prep materials you can trust by centralizing a plethora of up to date academic resources for your use. Let's take a closer look at how Los Angeles GRE tutors can supplement your review.
How does Los Angeles GRE tutoring differ from classroom learning?
Preparing for the GRE requires a well-rounded, detailed approach, with particular attention spent reviewing your areas of opportunity. While the benefits of classroom learning cannot be discounted, teachers are typically unable to provide students with individualized instruction for a variety of reasons. To begin with, teachers must follow a broad course curriculum, which can prevent them from dedicating time to each student's needs.
If your class is covering the Quantitative Reasoning section over a period of several weeks, a section which you possess expert knowledge in, your study time is not being maximized. In addition, teachers often don't have the time to provide each student with individual feedback or a specific path forward when you experience difficulties with a tricky subject.
When you study with Los Angeles GRE tutors, you can work with your instructor to develop a customized lesson plan that addresses your areas of need directly. This means that you can skim over content that you're already familiar with and expend your energy where it is truly needed.
For example, if you're struggling with components of the Analytical Writing portion of the GRE, your lessons can be centered on developing the tools needed to examine claims using accompanying evidence, maintaining a focused and coherent discussion, and expanding your command of written English. It's important to note that your lessons will take the shape of your needs.
If you advance quickly through one subject, you can immediately move onto your next area of opportunity. On the other hand, if you find yourself struggling with the sentence equivalence questions in the Verbal Reasoning section, you can take as much time as you need on these questions until you're confident and ready to move on.
In addition to a customized lesson plan, your instructor can adapt their teaching style to your learning style. Every individual's learning preferences differ, so it's important to identify how you learn best in order to increase your comprehension. Los Angeles GRE tutors can take the time to learn your strengths, goals, and learning style to craft lessons that stimulate and engage you.
For example, if you're a visual learner, your instructor can use flashcards, infographics, and charts to help elucidate complex concepts. They can also use the virtual whiteboard in our Live Learning Platform to break down algebraic formulas, write out detailed notes, or illustrate the critical components of a persuasive argument by creating a sample outline.
What are the benefits of studying with Los Angeles GRE tutors near me?
The GRE is composed of three sections: Analytical Writing, Quantitative Reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning. In addition, the GRE may contain an Experimental Section and a Research Section, both of which are unscored. Throughout the exam, you can expect to encounter a variety of questions, ranging from multiple-choice, text completion, sentence completion, and write-in responses.
As you work to build a strong foundation of subject knowledge, Los Angeles GRE tutors can work to contextualize the content you're covering with the question format in which the subject matter will appear. This approach can help familiarize you with the layout of the exam, while also giving you an intimate look into what you can expect to encounter on test day.
In addition to helping you build a strong foundation of subject knowledge, Los Angeles GRE tutoring can also help you refine your test-taking skills. Over the course of the exam, you will be tasked with applying your knowledge in a variety of ways. Often, you will be provided with multiple answers that vary only slightly, requiring you to be analytical in your approach.
Los Angeles GRE tutors can work with you to refine your logical reasoning skills which can help you break down questions into their component parts, ensuring that you know exactly what the question is asking. This skill can also help you eliminate impossible or improbable answers in a multiple-choice question. Your instructor can also coach you on meditative techniques that can help you remain calm and fend off stress during the exam, such as mindfulness and deep breathing.
Preparing for an exam goes far beyond memorizing content, and you can be assured that Los Angeles GRE tutoring can help diversify your test prep. From expert instruction to test prep resources such as practice quizzes, Varsity Tutors is dedicated to providing you with a dynamic learning experience.
How can I fit Los Angeles GRE tutoring into my schedule?

First, we offer both online and in-person instruction. Furthermore, we work hard to match you with an instructor who can work around your time constraints to ensure you are receiving the guidance you need to reach for your GRE goals.
