Ashwin: Des Plaines SAT tutor
Certified SAT Prep Tutor in Des Plaines, IL
Tutoring is about a lot more than studying, tests, and knowledge. I believe the interpersonal relationship involved with teaching greatly benefits both parties. Learning is fundamental to life- and turning otherwise cumbersome and difficult tasks like passing a hard class into a lightbulb moment is where I find my satisfaction. Turning such a familiar struggle into newfound realization and understanding is what I aim for.

Des Plaines SAT Tutoring FAQ
Your child may be offered the SAT during high school in 11th or 12th grade. The SAT is a standardized exam that is part of the college admissions process. The required sections of the test cover writing and language, critical reading, and math. Your child receives three hours to complete these portions. They are able to complete the essay section, which gives them an extra 50 minutes. Your child can score between 400 and 1600. The required sections are multiple-choice with four answers for each question. When it comes to preparing for the SAT, your child may feel overwhelmed. Traditional classroom-based learning rarely moves at the right pace for every student, which can cause learning gaps between students in the same class. To boost your child's potential, personalized instruction can be the answer. An experienced and skilled SAT tutor in Des Plaines, Illinois, could teach your child how to best use their study time.
Varsity Tutors can connect you with tutors in Des Plaines who are skilled at helping students prepare for the SAT. The tutor is selected based on your child's personal learning style, study habits, past instruction, PSAT scores if any, and many other factors to ensure they are an ideal match.

Your child's hand-selected tutor is well-versed in the format and content on the exam, allowing them to offer valuable insight to each section. Your child won't have to review information they are already familiar with, instead they can focus on learning the information they need to learn. If your child has trouble understanding historical passages, the tutor could break the concepts down into easily understood ideas that your child can readily grasp. The tutor can provide practice essay prompts to allow your child the chance to practice their skills, receiving instant feedback to bolster their confidence and improve their performance. Furthermore, your child can ask questions as quickly as they arise and receive answers immediately.
Each tutoring session is designed to be flexible and convenient. Your child can meet their instructor in-person anywhere that works for you, such as at home or at their school. In addition, you can arrange for face-to-face online tutoring.
