Cleveland PSAT Tutoring FAQ
If your student could benefit from some guidance as they prepare to take the PSAT, get in touch with Varsity Tutors so we can connect them with a Cleveland PSAT tutor.
If your student is struggling with their preparation for their test, it can be difficult to get the help they need either working on their own or studying in a group. The PSAT is offered to high school students between the ninth and eleventh grades as a preliminary SAT. It is designed to give students an idea about the format, question types, content, and time limits they will encounter on the SAT.
It can also be used as a qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program. The test covers three sections: Math, Writing, and Reading. Our educational consultants can help you find a tutor who has the skills needed to help your student increase their knowledge and confidence before taking their test.
How is Cleveland PSAT tutoring different from studying on your own or in a group?
When your student works with a Cleveland PSAT tutor, they can work with an instructor on a personal level as they will be the only student studying with them during a study session. One of the issues of studying in a group is that your student's group members may not be struggling with the same concepts that your student is. As such, your student could spend a lot of time going over topics they already understand while not getting the practice they need on concepts they don't understand.
While studying on their own will provide flexibility with the topics they cover, your student won't have anyone to turn to if they get stuck on something. Studying with Cleveland PSAT tutors enables your student to receive immediate feedback and guidance on any concepts they're having a hard time grasping.
Studying with a Cleveland PSAT tutor also enables your student to receive instruction that matches their specific learning style. For example, if your student is having a tough time understanding the properties of exponents, their instructor can provide notecards and diagrams to facilitate learning if they are a visual learner while discussions and lectures might be a better option if they are an auditory learner.
What are the benefits of having my student study with Cleveland PSAT tutors near me?
There is a wide range of benefits to having your student sign up for Cleveland PSAT tutoring. Cleveland PSAT tutors can identify what their learning strengths are and develop a customized plan designed to meet their needs. As there are three sections on the PSAT, your student could be struggling with one or more of the sections. If they are having a tough time with math, but not with reading, their private instructor can spend more time going over the Math section while not focusing as much on reading.
Reviewing content is an integral part of preparing for the SAT. Each section contains a variety of topics that your student could need a refresher on. This could range from topics like identifying syntax and style in reading passages to solving quadratic equations in the Math section. Whatever your student is having trouble with, a Cleveland PSAT tutoring can offer assistance.
In addition to reviewing content, it can be a good idea for your student to go over test-taking strategies. One of the best ways to work on these strategies is by taking practice exams because they can assist your student with a wide range of skills. One such skill is time management. While managing their time effectively isn't a substitute for your student knowing content, it can ensure that they have time to use the knowledge they've gained rather than having to rush through questions.
Your student can easily figure out how much time they can spend on each question, but it can be challenging actually putting this into practice. It is easy to get lost trying to solve a complex question and lose track of time. Cleveland PSAT tutors can show them how to set their internal clock so they know when they need to move on to another question. It can be helpful for your student to skip over the more difficult questions at first so that they don't get stuck early on in their exam.
Practice exams can also act as a useful diagnostic tool. Your student's personal mentor can provide feedback on their performance and give them an idea as to what they need to prioritize in terms of studying. Practice assessments can also boost your student's confidence as they can track their progress over time and get an idea as to how they might perform on the actual test.
It is typical for students to feel some level of nervousness before taking an important exam. However, if this nervousness gets to the point where it is impacting your student's performance, it may be time to get them some help. Practice exams can help with this because they can reduce some of the uncertainty your student may be feeling about the PSAT.
Practice tests can help them feel more comfortable with the questions they may encounter and the layout of the test. It can also be useful for them to talk to someone who has extensive experience with the test. Their academic mentor can offer advice and address any questions or concerns they might have about the test.
How can I fit Cleveland PSAT tutoring into my student's schedule?
Finding time in your schedule for outside tutoring can represent a significant challenge. You and your student may have work, family, or school responsibilities that take up much of your time. But this shouldn't prevent you from getting your student the study help they need. One of the hallmarks of private instruction is the flexibility and convenience it provides.
You can sign your student up for either online or in-person Cleveland PSAT tutoring based on their needs. One of the advantages of signing your student up for online instruction is that you don't have to worry about commuting to get your student to their sessions. They can interact with the Cleveland PSAT tutor from anywhere they're able to connect to the internet, such as from the Shaker Heights Public Library or your home.
Our Live Learning Platform also enables your student to collaborate with Cleveland PSAT tutors in shared documents and a virtual whiteboard. These can be especially useful for solving math problems because Cleveland PSAT tutors can write out how to do them so that your student can follow along. Additionally, this enables Cleveland PSAT tutors to observe them as they are working on math problems so that they can see where they went wrong if they arrive at the wrong answer.
