Denver SAT Tutoring FAQ
Get in touch with Varsity Tutors if your student could benefit from Denver SAT tutoring. The SAT has four sections: Math, Reading, Writing and Language, and an Essay. However, the Essay is optional. Whether your student needs help preparing for all four sections of the SAT or only one or two, we can help. We can connect you with a private instructor who can guide your student and help them make more efficient progress towards their goals. Read on to learn more about what Denver SAT tutors do, how they can help your student, and how you can find one.
What are some of the benefits of having my student prepare for their SAT with the help of Denver SAT tutors near me?
A private Denver SAT tutor can study with your student one-on-one and give them personalized assistance. They can focus all of their attention on your student, allowing them to provide a customized learning experience that caters to your student's needs. Your student can make the most out of their SAT preparation by skipping or quickly skimming over topics they already understand so that they have more time to spend on topics they are struggling with. Studying for the SAT is hard, so why not conserve energy?
If your student does not know what they need help with, they can ask their personal Denver SAT tutor to help them find out. Their mentor can give them a pretest to figure out what their weaknesses are. This way, they can figure out where they are lacking in knowledge and create a study plan that focuses on those areas.
One of the benefits of private Denver SAT tutoring is the flexibility it can offer. If your student wants to stop and spend more time on a certain topic, they can do so. They won't have to worry about holding up other students. In a classroom, this is not possible. A class teacher has to cover a certain amount of material in a certain amount of time. However, a private mentor doesn't have to worry about running out of time. After all, your student can set up as many mentoring sessions as they need.
What topics can my student learn about when studying with the best Denver SAT tutors?
As mentioned, there are four sections on the SAT. Your student can study for all of them or focus on preparing for certain sections. For each section, there may also be topics that your student needs more help with. For example, the Math section has two parts. Examinees can use a calculator only on one part. Different topics that will be covered on the SAT include algebra, problem solving, data analysis, and Passport to Advanced Math. Your student will be expected to be able to solve problems quickly by identifying and using efficient solutions, finding shortcuts, reorganizing information, and other methods. Private Denver SAT tutors can work with your student on improving their conceptual understanding skills, such as making the connection between linear equations, their graphs, and the contexts they represent.
On the SAT Reading section, students will be presented with passages from different sources. This can include passages from classic or current literature, passages from the United States founding documents, a social science selection, and more. One skill that your student's Denver SAT tutor can cover is how to identify evidence that supports the ideas presented in the passage. They can also help your student understand how words in a passage can be used to understand the overall context and the intent of the author. Your student can also review how to draw inferences and conclusions. These are all skills that they can be tested on when taking the SAT.
Although the Essay is optional, if your student wants to take it, their mentor can help them prepare. Denver SAT tutors can help your student read passages and understand an author's reasoning and the evidence they are using. Once they know this, they can work on creating a response.
Your student can practice skills such as how to organize ideas and concepts coherently, how to evaluate and explain arguments, and how to back up arguments with supporting data. On the SAT Essay, there will be a passage that your student will need to respond to. Your student's essay should not explain whether they agree with the author's argument. Rather, it should simply evaluate the argument and assess it from an unbiased viewpoint.
Can private Denver SAT tutoring help my student improve their test-taking skills?
Private Denver SAT tutors can also help your student improve their general test-taking skills. All sections of the SAT have a time limit. Therefore, your student needs to be able to pace themselves when taking it. Their mentor can give them tips for doing that. For example, if they find themselves spending too much time on a question they don't know the answer to, they might be better off taking their best guess and moving on. Their mentor can also demonstrate how to use a process of elimination to figure out the answer to a multiple-choice question quicker.
A private mentor can even administer practice tests and monitor your student as they take them. This way, they can discover bad habits that can be corrected. Their mentor can also teach them calming techniques that can help your student reduce their anxiety and allow them to focus on the exam.
Is Denver SAT tutoring convenient?
Fortunately, setting up online or in-person Denver SAT tutoring sessions is easy and convenient. We can help you connect with a mentor who can work with your student's schedule.
In particular, online tutoring comes with an added layer of convenience. Your student can study with Denver SAT tutors from any location as long as they have access to the internet. They can log on to our Live Learning Platform and meet their mentor from home or a quiet location such as the Denver Public Library.
Our video chat tool allows them to see, hear, and speak with their instructor in real time. There is also a shared virtual whiteboard, which their mentor can use to demonstrate how to solve math problems or organize session topics. Your student can share their screen with their mentor, which can allow them to get instant feedback.
The benefits of studying with online Denver SAT tutors aren't limited to the actual sessions. All sessions are recorded, so your student can go back at any time to refresh their memory or get a better understanding of what they learned.
