We offer private SAT Complete Test Preparation, which can help you focus on the areas where you need the most improvement with the assistance and tutelage of a qualified tutor. The SAT test is used by many colleges and universities as an effective data point to compare applicants. The SAT test is used to help determine how prepared a potential college student is for this next level in academics.
Thousands of students take the test each year, and our SAT Complete Test Preparation tutors are knowledgeable and able to help you prepare for the college or university that you are aiming for. Our SAT Complete Test Preparation tutors can help outline what the SAT score requirement is for a given university and help you develop a tutoring plan to master your goal.

The Breakdown of the SAT
The SAT has several sections, which your student will need to be prepared for in order to do well on tests. There is a math section, which has problem is that may need a calculator to solve them as well as no calculator portions of the test. This section will assess your students analytical and problem-solving abilities, as well as their algebraic skills. Mastery of subjects such as calculus are not required to do well on this test.
The other major section of the SAT test is considered the writing and language portion of the test. Your student will need to be able to evaluate a passage to assess its relevance, as well as understand words based on their context. Your student will also have their sentence structure and grammar skills assessed. Your student will need to read passages and answer questions about them, which may also include interpreting charts or graphics. They will be assessed on their reading comprehension, as well as their ability to reason. There is an optional section to the SAT, known as the essay section. While it is considered an optional section, it is required for many colleges and universities. Your student’s SAT test prep tutor can help them determine if they will need to complete this section and help them prepare for it.
While different programs offer group SAT test prep sessions, and your student’s school may even offer them, one-on-one SAT tutoring is typically the most effective option for students. A main reason for this is the flexibility that it offers. Your student’s tutor can work with them at a time that is most convenient for your student. Rather than needing to attend the SAT complete test preparation offered by the school when your student has an afterschool activity or a job, they can meet with the tutor at a time that works for them and their schedule. Because our SAT sessions are offered through a virtual learning platform, your student can learn from the convenience of their kitchen table or at the local coffee shop after they go to school. The other major advantage to working with an SAT tutor in private is that our tutors will create a customized learning plan for your student. It is designed to target the areas where they need the most help, reviewing material that your student is familiar with as necessary to make sure that they are as prepared as they can be for the SAT test.
As your student moves through the material, the tutoring plan can be adjusted. If your student needs more help in a specific area, analogies for instance, they can spend more time on that material with their tutor. Likewise, if they have quickly mastered a topic, such as reading comprehension, your student and their tutor can move on to the next set of material on their plan. With the personalized attention that your student has from working with a tutor in a one-on-one learning environment, the review sessions are tailored to how your student learns most effectively. Our tutor will work with your student to learn what they already understand and how they learned best, through both discussions and observing your student in sessions. If your student tends to be an auditory learner, our tutor can teach them new material as well as review areas that they need to improve on through lecture style sessions. If your student needs more visual aids, our tutors can help find tools and material to assist them.
