Private In-Home and Online Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations. Varsity Tutors helps thousands of people asking, "How do I connect with the best tutors near me?"
Varsity Tutors can help you get prepared to take the SAT by getting you connected with well-rounded Ann Arbor SAT tutoring. Many universities look at these college admissions exam results as an indicator of how you might perform in one of their programs so it is important to lead with your best foot forward. Working with an Ann Arbor SAT tutor could help you gain a more comprehensive review than the one you might be able to get on your own.
What can Ann Arbor SAT tutors near me help me review?
The SAT is made up of the required Math, Reading, Writing, and Language sections and the optional Essay section. Each section will test your knowledge of concepts that you should have learned throughout your years in school. Ann Arbor SAT tutoring can help you review concepts that you do not have the opportunity to practice on a regular basis. Let's take a closer look into each section and the concepts that a private academic mentor can help you review.
In the Math section, you will be given 80 minutes to solve 58 multiple-choice problems. These problems will range from basic algebra to more advanced math and will challenge your abilities to understand presented data and use the information to solve problems, solve linear equations and systems, understand the structure of expressions, among other skills. Ann Arbor SAT tutors can help you prepare to solve these problems quickly using efficient solutions or reorganizing information.
You will be given 65 minutes to complete the 52 passage-based, multiple-choice questions that make up the Reading section of the SAT. This section will test your knowledge of reading comprehension and will look at the relationship between the passage and the following questions. Your instructor can help you review reading concepts such as how to understand the meaning of a passage, draw inferences and conclusions, and identifying relationships between text and accompanying data.
The Writing and Language sections are combined on the SAT and are made up of 44 questions that you will have 35 minutes to complete. Similar to the Reading section, these questions are also passage-based. However, they will focus more on the style of writing, grammar choices, punctuation, sentence structure, and other language conventions. You can work with your Ann Arbor SAT tutors on how to recognize incorrect word choices, verb tenses, word clauses, how to make structural changes to improve sentence clarity, and more.
If you choose to complete the Essay section, you will be given an additional 50 minutes to read a passage and then compose an essay that evaluates the author's argument and persuasive abilities. Your private instructor can help you find the most efficient ways to organize a quick draft and your ideas. This can help you produce a more focused and precise essay.
How can Ann Arbor SAT tutoring benefit me during my exam prep?
There are many excellent advantages to working with Ann Arbor SAT tutors and one of the biggest ones is having the ability to focus solely on your needs. If you find yourself needing to concentrate a little more on a particular section of the exam, such as the Math section, you and your instructor can delve deeper into each of the concepts presented in this section to ensure that you are feeling comfortable in all areas of it before moving on to anything else.
You can also control the pace of your review when you work one-on-one with a personal academic mentor. Instead of having to rush through any set curriculum, if you run into a concept or area that you need a little more understanding in, you can slow down and take the time to get a full understanding of the concept before moving forward. Alternatively, if you are already confident in any of the sections or concepts that you are reviewing, you can move on to the next lesson plan quickly, without having to wait for anybody else to get caught up.
Because you are your instructor's main focus during each study session, it can give them the ability to get to know the areas that you struggle in, your areas of strength, even your interests, and use that information to individualize each lesson plan to help you make the most of the time you have available before you the day of the exam. They can find the learning methods that work best for you and incorporate relevant materials and activities into the lesson plans. For example, they could use flashcards or charts for a visual learner or discussion-based review for an auditory learner.
In addition to reviewing the concepts that will be presented to you on the SAT, your Ann Arbor SAT tutors can help with useful test-taking strategies. Each of the required sections of the exam is made up of multiple-choice questions and there are no penalties for guessing. Your instructor can help you find the best way to eliminate incorrect answers to narrow down your potential choices and help you make an educated guess. As each section has a strict time limit, time-management techniques are another way that your Ann Arbor SAT tutors can help you prepare to take the exam.
What are my options for working Ann Arbor SAT tutoring sessions into my schedule?
Though it can seem difficult to fit additional study time into a schedule that may already be jam-packed with school work, extracurriculars, work commitments, and family time, Varsity Tutors has convenient options to help fit Ann Arbor SAT tutoring into any busy schedule. We can get you connected with an instructor either in-person or online that can accommodate your availability.
If you choose to meet with your instructor online, you have the added convenience of being able to meet from wherever you are. You can log in to our Live Learning Platform from the comfort of your own home in the evenings or choose to go to your favorite quiet study spots, such as a local cafe or the Malletts Creek Branch of the Ann Arbor District Library.
You and your Ann Arbor SAT tutors can utilize video chat, a virtual whiteboard, and shared document editors to engage in interactive sessions. You can ask questions as they come up and receive instant feedback from your instructor. Each session is also recorded so if you would like to review any of the concepts that you previously covered, you can easily do so in between your regular sessions.
This sounds great. How can I get started with Ann Arbor SAT tutors near me?
It's easy to get started when you reach out to our educational consultants. They are available to answer any more questions you may have and to get started in helping you find the best Ann Arbor SAT tutors to fit your needs and availability.
Wherever you happen to be in your SAT prep, whether you find yourself stuck in a study rut in the middle or you haven't quite found the best place to start, we can get you connected with the right resource to help you reach for your exam goals. Contact Varsity Tutors and you can get started with helpful Ann Arbor SAT tutoring in as little as 24 hours.
