The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there.

Austin English Tutoring FAQ
Get in touch with Varsity Tutors if you have been searching for Austin English tutors for yourself or your child. Whether you are looking for a private mentor who can help your child keep up with the rest of their class or you want to get mentoring as a way to supplement your English classes in college, we can help. Continue reading to learn more about what Austin English tutors do, how you can benefit from private mentoring, and how you can connect with a private instructor who can study with you one-on-one.
What topics can private Austin English tutors near me cover?
You can get in touch with private Austin English tutors to study with your child and help them with basic English skills such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening. For example, your child's mentor can lead interactive conversations with your child to give them a chance to practice their English speaking skills under the supervision of a professional who can provide them with instant feedback and correct them when they make mistakes.
A mentor can also speak slowly, on your child's level, to make it easier for them to improve their listening skills. Some children might find that their class teacher speaks too quickly for them or uses too many words that they do not know. Personal Austin English tutors can move at your child's pace and study in a way that makes them comfortable.
Austin English tutors can also work with your child on expanding their vocabulary. They can do this directly, by going over new words with your child, or indirectly, through an immersive experience. They can introduce reading materials or progressively introduce new vocabulary when speaking with your child. The more your child reads, the more words they can learn.
English tutors can also help your child understand English grammar rules. For example, they can help them understand the difference between suffixes and prefixes and how the meaning of a word can be determined from either of them. They can help your child learn how to identify pronouns and how to use verb tenses correctly.
Another topic that Austin English tutors can focus on is proper punctuation. For example, they can help your child learn how to use commas and periods correctly. Sometimes, students are confused when to use commas in numbers, dates, lists, or when writing cities and states.
If your student is struggling with English in high school, they can also benefit from private Austin English tutoring. A private mentor can help your student work on their writing skills. For example, they can practice writing essays and organizing ideas clearly and coherently. Another skill that they can work on is constructing arguments and backing them up with supporting evidence or data.
You can also get Austin English tutoring to help with your high school or college English classes, whether you are taking literature or writing classes. If you are taking a literature course, English tutors can introduce literature and help you write essays based on it. If you are taking a writing class, you are likely trying to improve your writing skills. Whether you are focusing on analytical writing or creative writing, studying with a mentor can allow you to get personalized feedback that can help you make more efficient progress towards your goals.
What are some of the benefits of studying with private Austin English tutors?
In your classes, you are limited by the pace of the class. It might be too fast or too slow for you. In school, your teacher won't be able to give you all of their attention and resources. They have to cover a certain amount of material in a certain amount of time, and there are other students to deal with.
However, with private Austin English tutoring, you or your student can get a customized learning experience. A private mentor can focus entirely on your child and cater to their learning style. For example, if your child is a visual learner, their mentor can use flashcards to help them learn new words.
A private mentor can focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for your child to study in. Your child can develop a rapport with their mentor and come to enjoy and look forward to their sessions. Private Austin English tutoring can help your child feel more confident and improve their outlook on their studies. If your child has been having difficulty keeping up with their class, they can review what they learned with their private mentor. They can also ask all their questions. During class, there is often not enough time for all students to ask all the questions on their minds.
If you have any upcoming tests, your mentor can help you prepare for that as well. They can give you practice tests to help you get used to answering questions on the topics you have been studying. This can also give them a chance to assess your knowledge and figure out whether you need additional help in any specific topic. They can also give you tips to help you stay calm and focused on the day of your exam.
Is Austin English tutoring convenient?
We know that you have many family responsibilities and that it can be difficult to find time to help your child with their English studies. You will be pleased to find out that private online and in-person Austin English tutoring is incredibly convenient and easy to set up.
In particular, if you opt to get online instruction for your child, you can access an added layer of convenience. You won't have to spend time commuting your child to their mentor. Instead, they can study from home or a quiet location such as the Austin Central Library. As long as they have access to a working internet connection, they can log onto our Live Learning Platform and meet their mentor. They can see, hear, and speak together using video chat. There is also a shared virtual whiteboard, which their mentor can use to provide visual explanations, help your child learn new words, or work on your child's reading comprehension skills.
Your child can share their screen with their mentor so they can get instant feedback. There is also a live document editor, which the mentor can use to collaborate with your child on texts. Your child's mentor can use integrated practice problems to challenge them.
All sessions are recorded. Your child can go back and watch them at any time to refresh their memory.
