If you are someone who is looking to attend a Catholic High School in the Diocese of Brooklyn or the Archdiocese of New York, Varsity Tutors is here to provide you with the opportunity to prepare for the necessary exam by taking part in a TACHS course. TACHS stands for the Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools. A TACHS prep course with Varsity Tutors can give you the tools you need to reach for your goals on exam day. The results of the test are an important factor in admissions decisions for the school year, beginning the year following administration of the exam. Varsity Tutors offers TACHS classes that cover all of the skills the test is designed to evaluate. Those skills are listed below:
TACHS Skills Tested
- Reading
- Written Expression
- Math
- General Reasoning Skills
If you are looking for some extra preparation in any number of these subject areas, a TACHS class with Varsity Tutors could be a good option for you.
Our TACHS prep classes consist of one-on-one study sessions with an experienced tutor. These instructors can help you learn what to expect as the exam approaches. The main focus of a TACHS prep class is, of course, the material relevant to the exam. But tutors can also help you prepare for the format of the test and also share test-taking tips and strategies that could prove helpful during difficult portions. There are a number of things you are not allowed to bring into the exam. They are listed below:
Not Allowed During the TACHS Exam
- Electronic or battery operated devices
- Cell phones, calculators, watches, etc.
- Scratch paper
- Food
- Beverages
You will head into the test with simply the skills and knowledge you have developed in your preparation time. A TACHS class with Varsity Tutors can help provide you with the tools you need to attack the exam with confidence in your own abilities.
One of the biggest benefits of working individually with a tutor is the opportunity to receive instruction that is personalized to your strengths and weaknesses. When participants sign up for TACHS prep courses, Varsity Tutors does its best to match them with an instructor who is able to work with the student's schedule to develop a plan of convenient study sessions. Our online platform allows you to meet with your tutor in a virtual setting, so you don't have to go through the hassle of traveling to and from your sessions. You can take part in them wherever you have an internet connection.
As part of a TACHS course, tutors can work with you to first evaluate your established skills as they relate to the exam material. Perhaps you are all set on the necessary math but could use some extra preparation when it comes to reading. Instructors are able to tailor their lesson plans to ensure none of your valuable time is wasted and that they are filling in any gaps that you may have.
If one of our TACHS courses sounds like it could be beneficial to your test preparation, contact Varsity Tutors today to get started. You can reach our Educational Directors by phone or online, and they are happy to answer any questions you may have prior to signing up.

Having trouble telling a participle from a predicate? Want to make your college essay the best it can be? I'm here to help.... My role as a teacher is to help the student not just learn, but understand. I don't give students the answers; instead, I ask questions and engage their prior knowledge to lead them there themselves. Learning is an active process, never a passive one.
