Since then, I've tutored students from 1st grade to college in many different academic subjects, and always continued to tutor the...

...single deviation between tests can render any and all data meaningless. In part through these laboratory experiences, I have learned that true understanding comes from the teaching of central concepts rather than brute-force memorization. In short, you don't learn THAT 62=3, you learn WHY 62=3, allowing you to find 82, 122, 93, and all the others (this technique can be extrapolated to many of the graduate test prep tutoring work I do). Similarly, I don't...

How can a tutor help your child master the HSPT?
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is an important entrance exam that many students struggle with. An expert HSPT tutor in Vancouver, WA, could help your child to develop a study plan to make the best use of their time.
The HSPT is a required entrance exam for certain private high schools around the nation. The HSPT is administered by individual private and parochial schools rather by a national testing organization. This test of reading, language skills, quantitative thinking, writing, and math skill is especially popular with Catholic high schools. Unlike many standardized tests, there is no standardized score reporting. Each test yields a score of 200 to 800, calculated from answers to 300 multiple-choice questions. Each timed section of the test consists of multiple-choice questions. Schools can customize the test to suit their individual needs. There are pre-written optional sections available on a number of subjects, like the Catholic religion or mechanical aptitude. Not all schools will use those sections or their own optional questions, but any extra sections add time to the standard 2.5 hour test.
