What does an SAT tutor do?

SAT Tutors teach skills for the multiple-choice SAT test, including how to use time wisely when moving through the test questions. Tutors teach students how to navigate and answer the various types of questions on the SAT, which involve the subjects of reading, math, and writing and language. As a result, qualifications to secure a job or build a career as a SAT Tutor include being knowledgeable in these subjects. At the start of tutoring, a SAT Tutor typically assists the student in setting goals, creating a study schedule, and identifying potential test-taking problem areas to work through. Other responsibilities of a SAT Tutor include teaching students how to spot possible traps in the answer choices and make educated guesses when they are unsure how to answer. SAT Tutors have the flexibility to work in various settings, including remotely through virtual sessions, in the student's home, at a test-taking center, or in public and private high schools.
