Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Lagos

Varsity Tutors is the only name you need to know if you're searching for expert Lagos SAT tutoring. The SAT is a standardized exam utilized by nearly every institution of higher learning in the United States as an objective means to compare prospective undergraduate students to one another. If an American wanted to attend a local school such as Lagos University or Augustine University, they may also submit SAT scores as part of their application. As such, you may need to take this exam to pursue your educational goals.

The SAT itself is comprised of four sections: Reading, Writing and Language, Mathematics, and an Essay. The Reading section consists of 52 multiple-choice questions in just 65 minutes, so your SAT tutor in Lagos may teach you active reading strategies such as note-taking to help you retain more of what you read so that you only need to read each passage once. You can also refer back to your notes instead of the passage if you need to double-check something, potentially saving even more time.

The test's Writing and Language section measures your command of the mechanics of the English language, like punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, and so on. You will be asked to use context clues to define potentially unfamiliar vocabulary words and evaluate if information is relevant to an argument. If the finer points of English sometimes escape you, your instructor might provide practice problems for you to complete during Lagos SAT tutoring sessions to help improve your self-confidence heading into the exam.

The exam's Math section is split into two distinct parts: one allows the use of a calculator, while the other does not. While it's tempting to try to use your calculator on every problem it is permitted on, you only have so much time to answer every question. Your SAT tutor in Lagos can help you understand when your calculator is necessary and when you are better off working without it.

The SAT Essay section is optional, but many colleges require students to submit a score in order for their application to be considered. If the prospect of writing an essay frightens you, you can practice outlining your work during Lagos SAT tutoring sessions to help you go into it with a clearly defined plan. Your instructor can also review your written work and identify what you did well and take note of areas where you could improve.

A private instructor can not only help you further your understanding of the academic concepts on the SAT, but they can also share test-taking strategies. For example, words such as "not" and "except" completely change the meaning of any question they appear in. Your SAT tutor in Lagos can show you how to read each question quickly, yet carefully to ensure that you do not miss any of these important terms.

Likewise, it may be possible for you to leverage the exam against itself. The entire SAT is multiple-choice (except the essay), so your SAT tutor in Lagos can teach you how to eliminate obviously incorrect answer choices even if you're unsure of the correct response. There is no penalty for guessing on the SAT, so it is often in your best interest to pick something and move on instead of getting stuck on a single item. A future item may even help you figure out a question that previously stumped you.

Lagos SAT tutoring is also extremely convenient. Our Live Learning Platform is mobile-friendly, allowing you to meet with your instructor online anywhere with a stable internet connection. Features such as video chat and a virtual whiteboard provide an in-person study experience without the hassle of commuting, so you're not compromising quality for convenience. We also try to connect every student with an instructor who can accommodate their scheduling needs, so your study sessions can revolve around your life instead of the other way around.
