Orange County SAT Tutoring FAQ
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is a critical college entrance exam that many students struggle to prepare for effectively. Try to make the best use of your child's study time by using an expert SAT tutor in Orange County, CA.
A high SAT score is important because many colleges and universities require that applicants take this test. The SAT consists of three sections, Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, Math, and Essay, that all test skills students would need to excel in college. There is also an essay section, though this is scored independently and doesn't affect the overall test scoring. The Evidence-Based Reading and Writing portion tests critical thinking, comprehension, and vocabulary using readings from social science and history. The Math section of the test covers a range of basic and advanced topics, including algebraic functions, geometry, and probability. A high score on this 3.5 hour test can improve your child's odds of getting into a top school. Many students struggle with material covered by one or more of the SAT sections.
Our educational directors will find the best SAT tutor for your child in Orange County, CA, by getting to know your child's goals and needs. The tutor will be thoroughly familiar with everything covered on the current SAT. Your child's tutor will use that information to create a customized learning plan, coach your child through lessons, and monitor their progress.
