Regardless of whether you're having trouble with computer science, anthropology, or any other subject, our educational consultants can get you connected with a high-quality academic mentor who can help you through whatever difficulties you're going through in your college classes. If you have a piece of homework that you're struggling to decode, your private tutor can talk to you about the concepts in it so that you can gain a better idea of what it's all about. They can also help you get ready for a difficult exam. Keep reading to learn more about the ways that University of Pennsylvania tutoring can help you make sense of the topics that are giving you a hard time in your classes.
What can a college tutor near me at the University of Pennsylvania do to help me?
When you study with a UPenn tutor, you can get several benefits that can supplement everything that you're doing in your college course. One of these benefits includes the personalized learning plan that your University of Pennsylvania tutor can put together for you. These plans are designed to help you move toward your scholastic objectives by taking into account what you need most as a student. Furthermore, your UPenn tutor can help you set goals to work towards. This helps you put everything into action and enables you to form a better picture of what needs to be done in order for you to get closer to your main objective. In addition, it can get you motivated to keep at it. You and your instructor can move at any pace that you wish. For instance, if you want to take some time to go over that philosophy reading that your professor assigned, you can do so.
Although the college environment is a great place to learn, there are some drawbacks to consider. For one thing, your instructor often has to educate many students at a time, so it can be difficult to speak with them on an individual basis. You may not get a chance to speak with your professor after class, especially if your schedule is tight and you need to be somewhere else immediately after. Studying with a University of Pennsylvania tutor can remedy that by enabling you to work one-on-one with a professional. If you have any questions about how to solve a trigonometry problem, for example, you'll have the chance to talk to your private tutor about it. Also, your instructor can talk with you about your study habits and things you can do to make your study routine more effective.
How can I prepare for tests with University of Pennsylvania tutoring?
One nice feature of University of Pennsylvania tutoring is that your instructor can use learning materials that appeal to your own learning style. Your instructor can hold discussions with you about German history if you're an auditory learner. At the same time, if you're a visual learner who needs help with organic chemistry, your instructor can provide you with tools such as videos to help you visualize what happens on the molecular level when reactions occur. This kind of instruction is helpful when getting ready for midterms and finals. Also, if you aren't totally sure which learning style is for you, this is something that UPenn tutoring can help you figure out.
There are also certain test-taking methods that your instructor can talk to you about. When test day comes, you can use these techniques to your advantage. Also, in UPenn tutoring, you can get quality feedback from your private instructor. For instance, if you're solving a differential equation and you're totally stuck, your instructor can give you some feedback on how to think about the problem. This is highly valuable because it can enable you to prepare for tests by developing a more thorough understanding of how to solve these problems.
What do I need to do to get connected with a college tutor near me at the University of Pennsylvania?
If you're ready to get to work with a college tutor at the University of Pennsylvania, just call on Varsity Tutors. Our educational consultants are standing by to answer your questions, provide you with more information, and get you set up with either online or in-person tutoring. Online tutoring is extremely convenient because you don't have to leave your dorm. As long as you can connect to the internet, you can log onto the Live Learning Platform, which is a great tool that you can use to talk to your private academic mentor. Here you can work in a virtual whiteboard that enables your instructor to see what you're working on, such as a math problem. You'll also be able to talk with them via video chat, so it's almost like they're right across the desk from you. Also, these sessions are recorded, which means that you can watch them at a later time if you need to. For instance, if you want a refresher on what your instructor taught you about political theory, you can just return to that video and rewatch it. Get in touch whenever you're ready to get started. We look forward to helping you find the assistance you need.

Recent Cedar Grove 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.
