<p>I am a sophomore in high school and currently live in Greece. I plan to take the SAT next year.
About 4 months ago I started tutoring for the SAT. The school I go to has only trained once before for the SAT, but the teachers there are very good and my teacher has been teaching for 30 years and was born and raised in the US. The problem is that the tutoring is 100€/2hours and I feel that sometimes I could do a better job myself because the teacher is not trained sufficiently for the SAT. Like all we do is learn words and study for Essays. Couldn’t I do that myself? Do you think that the book by the Collegeboard or the Princeton Review is sufficient enough or should I continue on with my tutoring? Please help…</p>
<p>If you’re really paying that much just for learning vocab words, then yeah, I’d say you could do the same on your own. If your tutor is giving you a bunch of insight into the inner workings of the test, he’s worth his money. If he’s just doing flashcards with you, kick him to the curb.</p>

<p>One thing you might consider is the Collegeboard has an online tutoring program which you get a discount with if you buy the Collegeboard blue book.<br>

<p>You could check out the free tour and see if it appeals to you. Between the blue book, direct hits for vocab and the blue book itself you might be able to accomplish as much or at least skip some of the sessions to offset the cost and pick up live sessions later.</p>
