Scottsdale PSAT Tutoring FAQ
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 tutor is selected by our educational directors based on your child's learning personality, grade-level, test type, goals, and other factors that may play a role in their tutoring needs.
We can match you with a PSAT tutor in Scottsdale who is passionate about the subject and can instill that passion in your child to create a truly enjoyable learning experience. Your child receives a personalized lesson plan that is designed with them in mind. The tutor will not force them to review information they are familiar with, instead focusing your child's attention on the areas they need to try to improve. 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.
A personal PSAT tutor in Scottsdale, Arizona, may be able to cater sessions to your child's preferences in a way that they won't get in a traditional classroom setting.
