...success. What I value far more is not just telling students the answers to their problems, but providing them with the resources and strategies to arrive at the correct answer themselves. Not only does this empower students, but it also gives them a framework to understand and tackle more complex problems outside of tutoring. Additionally, I see no value in simply telling a student that they are wrong, or that they are incorrect. By working...

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.The Preliminary SAT, or PSAT, serves two main functions: it is a practice test for the SAT, and it is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The PSAT has the same basic structure as the SAT, with a multiple choice format divided into math and reading sections. Most students take the test during the October of their sophomore or junior year. For extraordinary students, especially high marks on the exam could help them achieve recognition as a National Merit Scholar, a prestigious award that includes a yearly scholarship of up to $2,500. The highly competitive National Merit Scholarship Award can do more than just help pay for college -- it could try to help your student get into the school of their choice. The prestigious award can help them stand apart from other applicants and get into top-ranked schools. Whether your student wants to aim for the stars or simply views the exam as preparation for the SAT, the educational directors at Varsity Tutors are skilled at helping students in Pasadena connect with PSAT tutors.
High school is a busy time for students and their families, and your tutor is willing to work around your schedule and suit your child's study style.
