New York City GRE Tutoring FAQ
Varsity Tutors can connect aspiring graduate school students with expert New York City GRE tutoring.
The GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, can play an integral role in your graduate school application package, making it a critical exam to prepare for. A basic internet search will inundate you with advice articles, op-ed pieces, and a variety of other GRE offerings promising grandiose results.
What sets Varsity Tutors apart from competitors is the focus we place on face-to-face instruction provided by the best New York City GRE tutors who possess the knowledge and skills necessary to help students reach for the GRE goals. While many competitors offer prerecorded lectures and generalized study guides, we emphasize live interaction between learners and instructors. This form of instruction can provide you with in-the-moment guidance, reassurance, and the tools you'll need to put your best foot forward on test day.
How does New York City GRE tutoring differ from classroom learning?
While there are a variety of approaches you can take when preparing for a comprehensive exam, it's important to spend your time zeroing in on your areas of need. Though there are many benefits associated with traditional classroom learning, teachers must follow a set course curriculum, all the while attending to the varied needs of each student.
Large class sizes often preclude individualized instruction, meaning that it can be challenging to get your needs met in a classroom setting. Teachers must teach broadly to the class, making it difficult for them to adapt their teaching style to the learning style of each student. Furthermore, it can be challenging to provide in-depth feedback to individual students due to the time-consuming nature of the task.
When you study with New York City GRE tutors, you can be sure that you will be the sole focus of your instructor during your sessions. The comfort of private instruction allows your instructor to glean your learning preferences and craft lessons that engage you. New York City GRE tutoring can provide you with a forum for open discussions, continuous feedback, and troubleshooting.
If you're studying for the Verbal Reasoning portion of the GRE and are struggling to understand how to answer sentence equivalence questions properly, you can ask questions and receive immediate, specific answers. This type of in the moment guidance can help clarify misconceptions before they take root.
Working with New York City GRE tutors also allows you to work with your instructor to customize a lesson plan that addresses your needs directly. To maximize your review time, you can skim over topics that you're already familiar with. If you already understand how to articulate complex concepts, support ideas with examples and reasons, and other skills needed to excel in the Analytical Writing section, you can move onto more pressing areas of need.
Your lesson plan can continually evolve as your areas of opportunity and knowledge gaps shift. Also, if you're struggling with a particular concept, you can spend as much time as you need reviewing it until you're confident in your proficiency. Since your lessons are based around your needs, they can progress at a pace that is right for you.
What are the benefits of studying with New York City GRE tutors near me?
The GRE is composed of three sections: Analytical Writing, Quantitative Reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning. Also, the GRE may contain an Experimental Section and a Research Section, both of which are unscored. Over the course of the exam, you can expect to encounter a variety of questions, ranging from multiple-choice, text completion, sentence completion, and write-in responses.
New York City GRE tutors have detailed knowledge of the GRE, meaning that they can brief you on the types of questions and content present on the exam. They can also assign practice quizzes that can help familiarize you with the rhythm and layout of the exam. You and your instructor can then review the results of your quizzes to identify existing knowledge gaps and areas of progress. This information can help shape future lessons and aid in goal setting.
If you've studied elements of quantitative reasoning at some point during your schooling and struggled to comprehend it, it could be because it wasn't taught in a manner that worked for you. New York City GRE tutors can work to identify your learning style and adapt their lessons to appeal to you.
For example, if you're a visual learner, your instructor can use the virtual whiteboard in our Live Learning Platform to break down the core components of data analysis, illustrate algebraic formulas in a step by step fashion, or draw concept maps to create associations between different topics. Or, if you're an auditory learner, New York City GRE tutors can use recitation to aid in memorization, teach using short lectures, or engage you in open discussions.
In addition to building a strong base of foundational subject knowledge, it might serve you well to bolster your test-taking skills before exam day. New York City GRE tutoring can help coach you on a variety of skills, such as time management, critical thinking, and logical reasoning. Refining your time management skills can help you work more efficiently on exam day by helping you keep a steady pace and preventing you from spending too much time on any one question. If a problem has you stumped, you can use logical reasoning skills to break down the components of the question to help eliminate impossible or improbable answers.
How can I fit New York City GRE tutoring into my schedule?
We know that it can be challenging to find time to study between school, work, and personal commitments. To help you overcome this obstacle, Varsity Tutors offers both online and in-person instruction. Furthermore, we work hard to match you with an instructor who can work around your time constraints to ensure you're receiving the guidance you need to reach for your GRE goals.
When you study with New York City GRE tutors online, you will attend sessions in our Live Learning Platform. Attending lessons online allows you to study from the comfort of your own home, the Grand Central Library, or any location that provides a reliable internet connection. Our Live Learning Platform also allows you to use video chat so you can see, hear, and interact with your instructor in real-time.
