Huntington Beach HSPT Tutoring FAQ
If you are hoping to send your child to a private school, then they will need to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). The results from this exam are used to determine if a student is admitted to a private school or not. Therefore, you will want your student to prepare for the test as best they can. Varsity Tutors can help you locate a private HSPT tutor in Huntington Beach, California, who can help your child prepare for their test on your schedule. Your child’s tutor can work with them at a convenient time and place for you – even online.
Huntington Beach, California, HSPT tutors can help your child study each section of the exam in a one-on-one setting. Whether your child needs help studying each of the five sections (verbal skills, quantitative skills, reading, math, and language), just a select few, or even just one, their tutor can help. Because your child is the only student in the lesson with their tutor, their learning needs come first. They may take a practice exam with their tutor to first determine the areas they struggle with the most. Then, their tutor can create a study plan that has been designed exclusively for your child. They may also work through the practice exam together after your child has completed it. This allows for their tutor to provide lessons explaining why certain answers were incorrect.
Unlike a study group filled with students, your child’s tutor can teach HSPT concepts at a pace they are comfortable with, allowing for plenty of questions. Their tutor can also time your student as they take each section of the exam, just as they will be timed on the day of the test. They will have 16 minutes for the verbal section, 30 minutes for the quantitative section, 45 minutes for the math section, and 25 minutes for the reading and language sections, respectively. This allows your child to receive valuable practice in a test-like environment.
An experienced Huntington Beach HSPT tutor can help teach your child useful test-taking techniques they can use for the exam. They may also explain what to expect on test day and how the exam is structured.
If your child is preparing for the HSPT, don’t forget how valuable a resource a personal tutor can be. Give Varsity Tutors a call today, to receive assistance locating a great HSPT tutor in Huntington Beach!
