Private Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored HSPT 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.Are you hoping to send your child to a private school but are unsure of how to help them prepare for the HSPT? This may be the time to call in a private tutor. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a great private HSPT tutor in New York City, New York, who can help your child prepare for the big test. They can work around you and your child's schedule, meeting online or in person at a time and location that works best for both of you.
New York City HSPT tutors can help explain the structure of the exam to your child and let them know what to expect on exam day. This knowledge may help relieve the test anxiety that many students encounter before a big, important exam. Practice exams can be given to your child to help pinpoint the exact areas that they need the most help with. This can also help your child get a feel for what test day will be like. Their tutor can time them as they take each section: language (25 minutes), math (45 minutes), quantitative skills (30 minutes), reading (25 minutes), verbal skills (16 minutes), and any optional sections their intended school might require. After your child takes the practice tests, their tutor can then go over any answers they got incorrect and explain to them how to arrive at the correct answer. This immediate feedback from a tutor is not likely something you would be able to get in a test prep course or study group.
