Last week’s topic was single skill tutoring. This week I am moving on to multi skill tutoring. Multi skill tutoring is usually offered by test prep tutors who need to cover a variety of skills that the student will need to past the academic or professional test they are signed up for. These tutors tend to focus on preparing students for the LSAT, SAT, ACT, the CPA exam or the BAR exam.
Major academic exams such as the LSAT, SAT and ACT, require a variety of skill competencies in order to pass. Students will need to understand how to apply math skills, reading skills and composition skills to a variety of tasks in order to do well on these tests. When you work with a test tutor they will address each of the skill sets that you need to develop in order to pass the exam you are signed up for. They will then break down each skill into smaller parts to make learning them easier to do. Finally, they will run you through practice exams to help you learn the format.
If you are ready for a professional exam like the CPA exam or the Bar exam, then a testing tutor is going to break down the various modules used by the exam. They will show you various memorization techniques, they will run you through mock practicums and they will run you through several pre-tests. If you are having a hard time with a particular module, then you can request extra help in this section.
Multi-skill tutoring is generally not offer through at home tutoring services. However, online tutoring services can provide you with at home assistance while you are studying on your own. Next week’s tutoring services blog topic will be preparing for the upcoming testing season.
