Receive personally tailored SAT Reading lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
The SATs have recently changed to be less vocabulary intense and more straightforward, testing you on what you have previously learned rather than gauging your ability to learn. Because of this fact, the SAT Reading portion of the test shouldn't seem so daunting.

If you find yourself apprehensive about studying alone, consider contacting Varsity Tutors. Our educational directors are experts at assisting students in finding personal SAT Reading tutors in Chicago, IL, who can go over the key elements that will be found on the exam.
The SAT Reading section contains 52 questions and takes 65 minutes to complete and will cover passages from literary, scientific, or historical documents.
