Why SAT One-On-One Tutoring Is So Important

Getting ready to take the SAT test can feel like a full-time job. Your score can change the direction of your entire college career – and beyond. Not only are you preparing to take this important exam, you still have the workload and pressures of your regular high school life.
As an international student in the Middle East studying for the American SAT, you have a unique set of challenges. This is where one-on-one SAT tutoring comes in.
Online tutoring with a live coach can be one of the most effective ways to prepare for the SAT. Individual tutoring gives you the tools you need for optimal score improvement, maximizes on your precious time, and can put you miles ahead of your competition.
You also need someone that understands your personal needs. Melissa Daniels at Score Smart works specifically with international students in the Middle East taking the SAT. She has coached hundreds of students just like you on taking the SAT and on college admissions. Experience counts, and Melissa’s combination of expertise and dedication makes her your secret weapon for the best test scores.
As you prepare to take the SAT, consider why using one-on-one, online tutoring may be the best decision you can make for your future:
Personalized Lessons and Teaching
Would you rather have a prep course geared for everyone or study tools designed just for you?
There are a variety of ways to study and prepare for the SAT, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We each learn differently and have diverse strengths. It’s important that you find the best way to reach your maximum potential for scoring well on the SAT.
Working face to face with a tutor means the curriculum and lessons are geared towards specific areas where you need to improve. With Smart Score tutoring, you’ll get focused help right away in your weaker areas and you’ll clearly see the difference in your test scores.
“I first took an SAT class with an institute and I didn’t understand the English at all,” said one student at the American School of Kuwait. “With Melissa, I learned all about the English grammar and how to break down the reading questions. She was the best tutor I have ever worked with.”
We look at your learning styles and how to use them to your advantage, and we’ll assign specific areas of study to target this. The process is truly personalized to give you the greatest test results.
Efficient and Effective
What sounds better: hours spent blankly staring at SAT books or short sessions interacting directly with a coach?
One-on-one SAT tutoring saves you time. As compared to a general study course or approaching this on your own, our sessions make the best use of your valuable time. We get right to the heart of where you need improvement to create real change in your testing knowledge and abilities – in the most efficient ways. Each of our sessions are live and focused entirely on you.
Interactive problem solving using our virtual whiteboard means we work through your questions and challenges immediately. A personal, face-to-face tutor who can direct the prep material to meet your personal needs is priceless.
We look at your strengths and weaknesses in order to pinpoint your challenges and make the best use of our tutoring time together. This approach minimizes wasted or unnecessary study time. We’ll guide you in exactly the type of studying you need to do between our sessions so that you improve in every area and spend your time focused on what really matters.
The Best Combination of Technology and Human Coaching
Starting to drown in SAT prep lessons, but don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere?
You can get overwhelmed or isolated as you study for the SAT by yourself. Live, one-on-one coaching using Skype helps you make real progress in your studies. A parent from the American School of Riyadh recently wrote to us, “My son really liked the way Melissa explained the SAT math problems. It was our first experience with online tutoring and we were surprised by how personal it felt.”
Our interactive teaching methods – like the online whiteboard we can both write on – allow us to work together as a team. You’ll have every question answered and we’ll work through each spot you’re stumped or confused. Having a coach explain to you step by step how to approach the test creates connection and helps you truly learn the material. Our teaching methods help you build confidence in your testing abilities.
Keeps You Accountable
Feel like you can’t stay on track and moving forward?
You’ll still have to study on your own, but we’ll give you focused direction on how to do that in between our sessions. We’ll set goals, track your progress and make sure you’re moving forward. You won’t get stuck on the next steps to take when studying, and you’ll know you are doing what you need to do to succeed. Our sessions create accountability for your time spent on SAT prep work.
Beyond the Test Questions
Your score on the SAT can have far-reaching implications. It’s common to have test anxieties, questions about the wheres, hows, whens, and whys of the test. We can help.
What happens once the test is over? We can guide you through the next steps, like college admissions and essays, choosing the right school and more. Test prep and college admissions consulting are what Melissa Daniels does best. Contact us to start your specialized tutoring sessions today.
