...I love the feeling of helping a young learner gain confidence and independence in their learning skills and subject matter. My personal philosophy is that any subject can be fun, we just have to figure out how to make it so! My personal style is to use what the learner is interested in to make the subject more fun!

Math is my favorite subject in school and I know that it is an extremely intimidating subject for many students. My method of breaking down problems into their bare elements and working from there helps prevent students from shutting down because they have...

Instead, I prefer to have a conversation with the student to explain the "why" and "how" behind the necessary revisions so that we can improve the piece together. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy traveling, gardening, watching movies,...

Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I had learned the material....

If your child is in 10th or 11th grade, they will likely be preparing to take the PSAT, or the Preliminary SAT. The PSAT comes in several types. The most well-known is the PSAT/NMSQT, or the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The NMSQT is a scholarship awarded to the top scoring student on the PSAT, though it is common for semifinalists to receive scholarships from other institutions and businesses. There is the PSAT 10, which is offered to 10th grade students and the PSAT 8/9, which is a baseline for students in 8th and 9th grades. Neither of the last two are used for the NMSQT. Each version of the exam allows two hours and 45 minutes to complete the sections in math and evidence-based reading and writing. Though the exam is a practice SAT, you could help your child potentially do well on the exam. For help connecting with PSAT tutors in Scottsdale, Arizona, contact one of Varsity Tutors' educational directors today.
We could help you find an expert PSAT tutor in Scottsdale who can design a study plan suited to your child's individual needs.

The PSAT tutor can work at your child's natural learning pace, whether they only need a few seconds to understand contextual reading or they need more time to grasp advanced algebraic topics. The tutor can spend time teaching your child test-taking strategies to try to improve their timing and accuracy, as well as introduce them to the format of the exam as a whole.
Your child's tutor is able to provide a highly flexible schedule. They can meet your child in-person at your home or anywhere else that you'd prefer. Furthermore, they can meet online for face-to-face tutoring sessions.
