100% Tutor Satisfaction Guarantee
At Varsity Tutors, we're committed to connecting you to top tutors capable of delivering an outstanding experience. That's why we provide a 100% tutor satisfaction guarantee.
Varsity Tutors can connect you with a great Boston University tutor in as little as 24 hours. College-level academics tend to be much more challenging than what you studied in high school, so there's nothing wrong with admitting you might need extra support to reach for your educational goals. Private BU tutoring allows you to study in a one-on-one learning environment that revolves around your needs, so keep reading to learn more about the difference private instruction can make.
How can a college tutor near me at Boston University help me study?
Your instructor has dozens of other students to attend to, typically preventing them from providing the type of individualized attention students might need if they get stuck. Thankfully, a private BU tutor can supplement your classroom experience by providing personalized instruction that revolves around your unique needs.
For example, Boston University tutoring sessions can proceed according to your preferred pace. If you already understand correlation coefficients in your statistics course, your instructor can concentrate on something else to keep your study sessions as productive as possible. If you're struggling a bit with the rote memorization required in your Western Civilization class, your BU tutor can keep reviewing the info with you until you feel ready to move on.
A private Boston University tutor can also answer any questions you have as they arise, helping you receive clarification before you start to feel overwhelmed by the material. In fact, many private educators encourage students to ask questions in order to help them engage with the material. A private instructor can also review materials with you more quickly than a teacher who has more to grade, allowing you to review any errors while the material is still fresh.
Your instructor can even design your BU tutoring sessions around your innate learning style to improve your study efficiency. If you're a visual learner, you might use flashcards to help you remember all of the proper nouns in a Chinese language course. In contrast, an auditory learner might get more out of saying the names out loud in order to remember them. If you're a hands-on learner, your instructor can provide practice questions to give you experience. There is no ""correct"" way to study, so why not choose a methodology that makes sense for you?
You can even review your broader academic skills during Boston University tutoring sessions. If you could retain more of the information you read, your instructor can share active reading strategies such as note-taking to boost your retention rate. Likewise, your academic mentor can help you organize your notebooks to make it easier to find anything you're looking for.
What can a college tutor at Boston University do to help me study for exams?
Many exams at the college level utilize a constructed response format, meaning that you need to compose essays comparing literary works or historical time periods. If you tense up a little at the prospect of writing an essay, you can practice your outlining skills during Boston University tutoring sessions to make the creative process easier. If your test involves multiple-choice questions, your instructor can teach you how to eliminate some of the answers to make any guesses you take more effective.
Your instructor can also share test-taking strategies that may be applied to a variety of exams. For example, meditation can be a good way to mitigate the effects of test anxiety. Understanding how to spot important keywords like ""not"" and ""except"" can also help you recognize what each question is really asking you to do.
How can I find a qualified college tutor near me at Boston University today?
We understand how busy today's college students are, so we try to make private instruction as accessible as it can possibly be. We handle all of the research that goes into finding a great instructor so you don't need to worry about it. We also do our best to match every client with an instructor who suits their availability. We can even arrange your choice of online or in-person tutoring for maximal flexibility.
If you decide to study online, you will meet your instructor on our mobile-friendly Live Learning Platform to take the annoying commute out of the equation entirely. Our Live Learning Platform also has a variety of features that can deliver a premium study experience comparable to anything you could get in-person. For example, video chat functionality allows you to see and hear your instructor as though you were in the same room. Every study session is also recorded automatically in case you want to go back for a refresher. Who knew that private instruction could be so convenient?
Finding a certified Boston University tutor on your own can be challenging, as you need to verify that an instructor has the academic and communication skills you're searching for. Who has time for that? Reach out to the experts at Varsity Tutors for professional assistance finding a great instructor today!

Recent Bensenville Tutoring Session Notes
1. Wrote entire homily for Speech class. He paralleled some gospel story to the story of King Arthur. Only the hard copy is due the next day but the student doesn't have speech class (he has Spanish instead) that day.
2. Brought a green folder with brads and pockets. Supervised while the student made the dividers and then checked his Lit binder for all rough drafts that were supposed to be in there.
3. Study pack, Social Studies (most of it was done - he had left only a page's worth of the more reading-intensive work to do).

Today the student and I started with Chemistry and ended with Algebra 2. We did a 2 page worksheet on writing empirical formulas of compounds given a percent composition of the elements present. We then went on to work on his math assignment for the weekend, looking at the transformation of functions when multiplied by a coefficient or translated up/down or right/left. The student understood all of this very well and did many problems on his own. Overall a great session with much improvement and understanding.
