Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific reading comprehension challenges—whether that's managing dense academic passages, distinguishing between explicit and implicit information, or working through time pressure. Tutors can provide targeted practice with real exam questions, teach strategic reading techniques, and give immediate feedback on your reasoning process, helping you build confidence and improve your score.

Many test-takers struggle with reading speed and retention when facing lengthy passages, difficulty identifying main ideas versus supporting details, and selecting answers that seem plausible but miss the author's actual intent. Some students also find it challenging to manage test anxiety and time pressure, which can interfere with their ability to demonstrate their true comprehension skills.

During your first session, a tutor will assess your current reading comprehension level, discuss your target score, and identify which question types or passage styles give you the most difficulty. This diagnostic approach helps create a personalized study plan focused on your biggest opportunities for improvement, whether that's vocabulary building, inference skills, or test-taking strategies.
