Why use a private tutor for SAT Prep? There are obviously reasons of convenience to use a private tutor, such as a schedule dictated by sports or other activities but the educational benefits are persuasive as well.

A good tutor will zero in on a student's learning style, and teach him or her to solve the questions in a way which personally makes sense, rather than in a standardized form which might be difficult to understand.

A personal tutor also goes at exactly the pace which is dictated by the student, and not at the pace which is dictated by a specific amount of lessons promised for certain dates within a circumscribed period of time.

A good tutor can also adapt the curriculum to account for each specific student's strengths and weaknesses. (Also, if a child has a learning difference, the tutor can help him or her prepare for the special accommodations which might be necessary during the actual administration of the SAT.)

Not all students can have a private tutor, but those who do will benefit intensely from the individualized attention.
