Catalina Foothills PSAT Tutoring FAQ
Is your child preparing for any variation of the PSAT (PSAT 8, PSAT 9, PSAT 10, or PSAT/NMSQT)? If so, a tutor can be a valuable resource to help them study. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a PSAT tutor in Catalina Foothills, Arizona, who can meet with your child at a place and time of your choosing. Your child may even work with their tutor online!
Private Catalina Foothills, Arizona, PSAT tutors can provide your child with a one-on-one learning environment to help them study for the big test. They may give your child a practice exam to help narrow down the areas that need to be covered. From there, they can create a personalized study plan tailored to your child’s individual learning needs. They may decide to cover each section of the test in great detail (math, evidence-based reading, and writing and language), or just one or two sections. Because your child is the only student their tutor is focused on during the session, their studying needs are the priority. They may even decide to do a brief review of certain concepts in one section, skip another section, and spend the majority of their time working in-depth on the third section.
Catalina Foothills PSAT tutors can also work with your child as their own time keeper and test scorer. On the day of the exam, they will have just 60 minutes to complete the reading section, 35 minutes to complete the writing section, and 70 minutes total to finish the math portion – including 25 minutes without a calculator. Your child’s tutor can time them as they take each section to help them prepare for the environment of exam day. This also allows their tutor to teach them pacing techniques for the test. Once they have completed their practice exam, your child and their tutor can then go through each area they struggled with. They can then receive a lesson on the concepts covered in these questions.
Your student may have multiple test prep books and practice exams, and perhaps you have even signed them up for study groups and test prep courses. While these are all great resource, a private tutor may provide further benefits. For assistance finding an experienced PSAT tutor in Catalina Foothills, give Varsity Tutors a call. Our educational directors can help you find a tutor with experience to help your child prepare for the big test!
