A Tutor's Guide: How to Get the Most Out of Your Session

Feel Good about Yourself

By deciding to have a SAT tutoring session, you've already taken a conscious step toward self-improvement. So feel good about yourself. Confidence doesn't guarantee success, but it always helps.

Visualize Your Goals

Think carefully about what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it. Write down your goals, tell your friends, and hold yourself accountable. Don't be afraid to aim high, but remember that major triumphs are built on small victories.

Come Prepared

Organization is critical. No one’s perfect, but starting homework without a plan is like walking into a rainstorm without an umbrella. Work with your tutor to keep track of all assignments and establish a clear, step-by-step plan to get them done.

Communicate

The key to any successful relationship is communication. Make sure you share your goals with your tutor, and know that every tutoring session is a safe environment to share concerns and ask for help.
