One way of breaking this down is as follows: visual, verbal, and kinesthetic. Visual learners are people who like to use pictures and images to further their understanding of something. Verbal learners work best with words, whether they be speech or writing. Kinesthetic learners take...

Choosing the right high school for your child is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. That's only half the battle, though. Your child needs to potentially improve on the High School Placement Test (HSPT), since many private and parochial schools use it as part of their decision-making process. If you'd like to find additional assistance for your son or daughter, help is available. Each of the independent HSPT tutors that Varsity Tutors can help you find in Johns Creek, Georgia, is an experienced professional.
Your child will take the test when he or she is in the eighth grade. It lasts for roughly two-and-a-half hours and will cover verbal, quantitative, reading, language, and math skills. Students are graded on a scale from 200-800 and then are placed into a percentile based on their score. The schools will then see where your child ranks among his or her peers and weigh that, along with a host of other factors, when choosing to accept or decline an application.
Preparing for this test can be complex. You would hope that your child has learned enough along the way to eighth grade to make this test a formality, but this isn't always the case. There are prepackaged review books, but they aren't personalized to meet your child's needs. The same could be said of computer programs. If your child studies with friends, they may find themselves outpaced and discouraged. Your son or daughter's tutor, on the other hand, will be very familiar with the HSPT. They will know what types of questions appear on it and can guide your child to excel at it. The sessions will be in a relaxed atmosphere which facilitates learning. Your child will be tutored patiently, and the tutor will gladly repeat topics if needed. The tutors that our educational directors can help you find in Johns Creek, GA, are experienced professionals who are skilled in working to help students try to understand the intricacies of the HSPT.
We can find you an expert HSPT tutor in Johns Creek who can work at a time that is most convenient for your child. Finding a meeting place is a breeze, too. You can arrange for the tutor to meet your child in a library, a diner, a mall, or even your own home. If your child prefers to do things on the computer, there are face-to-face online sessions, too. Varsity Tutors' experienced educational directors are happy to help parents of students in Johns Creek connect with a qualified HSPT tutor who might help their child work to reach their goals.
