Award-Winning GRE Tutors in Albuquerque, NM

If you are planning to take the GRE as part of the college admissions process and you need some extra help, Varsity Tutors can set you up with the Albuquerque GRE tutoring that can best suit your needs. The GRE, or Graduate Record Examinations, is administered in more than 160 countries and is accepted by thousands of colleges and universities around the world. Even though you may have learned much of what is covered by the GRE in high school and college, it is still in your best interest to seek out Albuquerque GRE tutors near you to review the content and have it presented in a way that makes it easier for you to study.

How does Albuquerque GRE tutoring differ from classroom learning?

The biggest difference between Albuquerque GRE tutoring and traditional classroom learning is that Albuquerque GRE tutors can give you their undivided attention. Although the best college-level teachers can give you advice on preparing for the GRE if you ask for it, their main responsibility will always be on teaching their entire class. If you are in a large class with several students, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle even if you have an experienced and knowledgeable teacher. On the other hand, a private tutor's responsibility is only to you during your study sessions. For some students, this kind of attention is enough to help them to better understand the material that will be on the exam, but the best Albuquerque GRE tutors can customize their lessons to suit the learning style of their students. For example, you might have trouble retaining information that is presented during a lecture or class discussion, but you might be a better visual or hands-on learner who does better with flashcards or online learning activities. Your private instructor can catch on to that and create a customized lesson plan that works for you.

Albuquerque GRE tutors can also give you a good idea of what to expect when you actually sit down and take the GRE. The GRE is made up of three sections. The first is Analytical Writing and gives you 30 minutes to analyze an issue and an argument. The second section is Verbal Reasoning. This section gives you 60 minutes to answer 40 questions that test your ability to evaluate a passage and interpret meaning from context clues. The third section is Quantitative Reasoning, and it tests your basic math skills and knowledge of mathematical concepts. You will have 70 minutes to complete this section. Even though you most likely know all the material to complete these three sections, the format of the GRE has been known to throw some people off. They find that they run out of time while trying to complete one or more sections, and some students simply don't know what kinds of questions to expect. Experienced Albuquerque GRE tutors know all about the format of the GRE and how students should manage their time, which is just as important as knowing the material that will be on the exam. Even though you might go over some of this in the classroom, it always helps to have a professional private instructor who can go over it in depth before you take the exam.

What are the benefits of finding Albuquerque GRE tutors near me?

The biggest benefit of Albuquerque GRE tutoring is the one-on-one attention that you receive from a qualified and experienced private instructor. This alone can make a huge difference in a student's progress as they study for the GRE, but it also allows the instructor to get to know the student and find out how to best reach them during their lessons. It could be that the only Albuquerque GRE tutoring you need is to review the material that will be on the exam, or it could involve addressing any test anxiety that could impact your performance in the exam. Your private instructor might have some ideas on how to confront the worst of this anxiety so you can concentrate on the exam's material when you sit down to take it.

Another benefit of working with Albuquerque GRE tutors is that they can focus on the subjects that are giving you the most trouble. They don't have to necessarily skip the subjects that you know well, but they can customize their lessons to focus on mathematics if you need help with the Quantitative Reasoning section or on your writing skills if you're struggling with Analytical Writing. They can change the focus of these lessons as they get to know you and learn where you need the most help as you get ready for the GRE.

You may also find that Albuquerque GRE tutoring is also much more convenient than traditional classroom learning, at least in regard to your schedule. While you are beholden to a regular class schedule when you are enrolled in a high school or college course, that doesn't have to be the case when you work with a private instructor. It is in your best interest to work with your tutor at regular times, but you do have more say in what those times are. You don't have to take time off from a job or give up on your extracurricular activities; all you need to do is let us know about your preferred schedule, and we can help you find someone who can work with you either in person or online. If you choose to work with your instructor online, you will also be able to do so from anywhere you have a strong wifi connection and a reliable computer. You can do this from your home in the evening after school or work, or you can work from a library such as the Erna Fergusson Library or the Tony Hillerman Library. Working with your instructor online also gives you access to the Live Learning Platform, which will allow you to record your study sessions so that they can be reviewed at a later date. You will also have access to features such as video chat, a shared document editor to help you practice for the Analytical Writing section of the GRE, a virtual whiteboard, and various integrated practice problems that cover the many subjects that will be on the exam.
