Schaumburg HSPT Tutoring FAQ
The HSPT, or High School Placement Test, is given to students in private and Catholic schools to determine their acceptance or placement for starting high school. Your child may be nervous, and unsure of what to expect on the exam. Or, perhaps your child could benefit from extra help in one of the subjects they will be tested on, such as math, or verbal skills. Varsity Tutors can connect you and your child with a talented HSPT tutor in Schaumburg who can try to help them set goals and potentially exceed them in a timely manner.
The HSPT is given twice a year, in the spring and fall, and lasts about two and a half hours. The test is split into several sections: math, reading, verbal skills, language, and quantitative skills. There are also optional sections on the test that may include topics such as religion or science. If you believe your child could benefit from brushing up in one or more of the topics covered, or could use the help of a tutor who has taken the HSPT, there's no time like the present to get started with a tutor. An expert HSPT tutor that we connect you and your child with in Schaumburg can help them be confident on exam day.
Varsity Tutors can help you and your child find an experienced HSPT tutor in Schaumburg, IL, who can try to help your child attain success by creating a study plan that is focused on them. Your child's tutor will work directly with them to create a lesson plan that matches their learning needs and goals. If they only need to focus on reading, the tutor will do just that. Likewise, if you would prefer they learn everything that will be included on the test, the tutor will incorporate that into the plan. Their tutor can also let your child know what to expect on exam day, potentially giving them the confidence they need to try to succeed.
Your child's tutor can have lessons at a time of your choosing at your house, a school or public library, or online. With our face-to-face online learning platform, your child can have live interactive lessons with their tutor no matter where they go. Your child's tutor can meet one day a week, or five.
