High School Tutoring FAQ
High school is an important transitional time for teens as they move from childhood to adulthood. Academics become considerably more difficult as part of this transition though, so some students may need a helping hand to realize their potential. If that describes you or your child, Varsity Tutors can connect you with an experienced high school tutor who suits your scheduling and academic needs.
Here is a brief overview of the topics high school tutoring can help with:
Mathematics (including Algebra 1 and 2, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Geometry)
English Language Arts (Reading Comprehension, Grammar, Literary Analysis, Writing)
Social Studies (U.S. History, World History, Civics)
Foreign Language (Choices vary by school)
One of the best things about high school tutoring is how flexible it is. If you excel in mathematics but tense up whenever you need to compose an essay, your tutor can show you how to outline your thoughts to make it less intimidating. Alternatively, your tutor can help you learn at your own pace if you struggle with mathematics by providing more practice problems than your textbook offers. Either way, study sessions revolve around you. Any questions you have can be addressed in an expedient manner, and you never need to leave a topic behind before you are comfortable doing so.
High school tutoring sessions are also a great way to prepare for standardized exams. Common Core standards dictate that students take a test at the end of several high school courses. High school juniors also take the SAT, ACT, and any subject tests they may need to earn admission to their college of choice. If you are anxious about any or all of these exams, a high school tutor may administer timed practice tests to give you an idea of what to expect. Study sessions can also concentrate on your individual areas of weakness to improve their efficacy.
If you are easily distracted, high school tutoring may make it easier to concentrate. There are no other students around, removing the temptation to socialize. Likewise, any gadget that constantly demands your attention may be taken away for the duration of your study session.
