Private PSAT Tutoring in Bellevue, WA
Receive personally tailored PSAT 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.
Your child is on course to take an upcoming Preliminary Standard Aptitude Test (PSAT) and you want him or her to have the best advantage. Top educators acknowledge and recommend private PSAT tutoring as the best advantage to excel. Varsity Tutors' educational directors will find an expert PSAT tutor in Bellevue, WA, who will design a study plan for your child that leads to excellence.
The newest challenge for the PSAT is that the SAT was thoroughly revised in March 2016, the biggest change in 30 years. The PSAT now aligns with these changes. Paralleling the digital world's focus on managing by facts is the new PSAT focus on evidence-based reading, writing, and math.
This means students must seek the facts when reading in order to find the correct answers. For math, students need to build skills in data analyzing to score well with algebra and advanced math. An expert PSAT tutor in Bellevue can bring your child up to speed in no time.
The allotted time to finish the entire PSAT is two hours and 45 minutes. There are now three evidence-based sections. The reading section allows 60 minutes to answer 47 questions. The writing section gives students 35 minutes to answer 44 questions. The math section allows 70 minutes to answer 47 questions. That's 165 minutes to answer 138 questions, a bit more than one minute for each.
Preparing your child to finish all questions, your tutor will share best practices for pacing yourself through questions from different disciplines. Your child will also rehearse scores of typical test questions to strive to ensure he or she answers correctly and completely.
To launch your child's study plan, your PSAT tutor will first assess your child's skills, strengths, and weaknesses. Then, the tutor will create a custom plan that focuses on what your child needs to know for the test. If the tutor sees your child needs review in any area, the tutor will drill the subject matter as often as needed to reinforce learning. An expert tutor in Bellevue will develop a unique study plan that might maximize your child's PSAT test score.
Best of all, the tutoring dates, times, and locations are of your choosing. You child can meet at home, in the library, or any public venue. If your child cannot meet in person, he or she can access an online learning platform to interact with the tutor directly. Call the Varsity Tutors' educational directors in Bellevue, WA, to connect with a PSAT tutor who will engage your child to pursue top-tier results.
