Boston SAT Tutoring FAQ
To get connected with Boston SAT tutors who can help you prepare more effectively for your test, look no further than Varsity Tutors. We can connect you with Boston SAT tutors so you don't have to worry about finding someone qualified to help you and you can focus on preparing for the exam. Nearly every college in the US accepts SAT scores, so earning a solid score could be an excellent way to stand out from the crowd during your application process.
Whether you need to focus your test prep on the Math, Writing and Language, or Reading section, on the optional Essay section, or any combination, you can rely on us to set you up with a private instructor who is familiar with the test. They can review the relevant content with you and provide instruction on how to best leverage the exam against itself to do your very best on the day of the exam.
Why is studying with Boston SAT tutors near me my best test prep option?
There are several methods of test preparation you could use in advance of the SAT. For example, you could study on your own using resources you find in the library or on the internet. The question is, are those the most up-to-date, accurate resources? When you study with Boston SAT tutors, you never have to worry whether your resources are the best, because they are.
The expert SAT instructors we connect you with are carefully vetted and have the qualifications necessary to prepare you for the current year's exam. They can match the study methods they use to your needs. For example, if you're a visual learner who struggles in math, they can help you review your math formulas using flashcards. They can also diagnose why you're struggling in certain areas, which can be very difficult to do for yourself.
You could also choose to prepare for the exam in a classroom with one teacher who has one style of teaching and who teaches at a prescribed pace. Of course, when you take advantage of Boston SAT tutoring, your private instructor can use the style of education or guidance that works best for you individually.
Each lesson is targeted to your precise needs, so if you excel at math, you can spend less time reviewing that and focus on reading comprehension. You don't have to wait for a teacher who's going too slow or feel rushed by a teacher who's going too fast. Your private instructor is only concerned about your needs when you're together.
There are other online courses, but they generally come in prerecorded lectures or video sound bites that can't do one of the most critical things Boston SAT tutors can —answer your questions. As soon as a question arises, you can count on your SAT test prep instructor to either provide you with the answer or guide you towards discovering the solution yourself.
As you can see, though there are other study options, working with a private tutor is your best option.
What types of testing strategies can Boston SAT tutoring help me learn?
As important as it is to review algebra concepts or English language standards like grammar and punctuation, going over test-taking strategies specific to the SAT can be equally as important. The language used on the exam can trip up even the best students if they're not prepared. Boston SAT tutoring can expose you to examples of how questions are worded on the SAT and encourage you to use helpful techniques to read questions carefully. After all, missing the word "except" or "not" can mean answering a question with the opposite of the correct answer.
Each section of the SAT has a time limit. You can take up to 80 minutes to finish the questions in the Math section, 65 minutes in the Reading section, and 35 minutes in the Writing and Language section. If you decide to write the Essay, you have 50 minutes to do so. Your instructor can give you timed practice sections to see if you can complete all the questions in the allotted time. If not, they can give you suggestions on how to manage your time better while you're answering questions. You can try those techniques, and if they don't work, your instructor can give you more ideas until you hit upon what you need to do to complete all test items within the time allowed.
With the exception of the Essay, the SAT consists of all multiple-choice questions. Boston SAT tutors can work with you on strategies that work specifically towards answering multiple-choice questions correctly and efficiently. For example, if you're solving a math question, you don't always have to work out the whole problem before it becomes obvious which answer must be correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, there are techniques you can learn to narrow down the answers to just two potentially correct answers, giving yourself a better shot at getting the question correct.
These are just a few of the strategies your private instructor can help you integrate into your test-taking toolbox. When you work one-on-one with them, Boston SAT tutors can provide more personalized suggestions on how to best take the exam.
How can I fit Boston SAT tutoring into my schedule?
For one thing, Varsity Tutors can set you up with a tutor online or in person who is available when it best matches your schedule. Online Boston SAT tutoring provides even more convenience in that there's no need to commute to any sessions. Instead, you'll meet with your private instructor on our Live Learning Platform, where you have access to several powerful tools to make your meetings as immediate and comfortable as they would if you met in person.
The live chat feature allows you to communicate in real time with your instructor as they explain concepts or answer your questions. They can use the virtual whiteboard to present information, and you can use the shared document editor to practice writing essays using the format and vocabulary expected of a college-bound student.
Best of all, your online sessions are recorded so that if you need to review a particular concept between sessions, you can do so whenever you want. The convenience of meeting your tutor from wherever you want including your home, favorite coffee shop, or your favorite branch of the Boston Public Library combined with these online features makes preparing for the SAT with one of the best Boston SAT tutors that can be found.
In fact, that's another way of studying online with your tutor benefits you. Since geography can be taken out of the equation, we are free to find a tutor who can meet your scheduling and academic needs from wherever they are. The seamless online platform you use will make it seem just like they were with you in Boston.
