Self-study
Hello all,
I am looking for a tutor to help me with the RC section. I currently do not have an approach for RC and would like help to break down RC passages to effectively answer each question, while eliminating wrong answer easily.

Hey! I would definitely recommend checking out the "Reading Comprehension" section of our core curriculum — it will really break down all of the passage types and provide the best approaches to reading critically. Really RC all comes down to the way you approach the passage and questions, and we have spent a lot of time refining the best approaches to the distinct question types and creating low-res summaries that help read the passage critically. I personally found RC to be the hardest section to master when I was studying, and the low-res summary approach I learned from 7Sage was crucial in driving my score increase. I'd love to connect with you further about how our tutors could help support you in rocking the RC section, feel free to sign up for a free consultation here!
Best,
Sean
I can definitely help you take control of the RC section.
In my experience, the most important thing in Reading Comprehension is identifying and retaining the passage's Big Picture: the author's main point and the general supporting reasons used to develop that point.
This approach not only dramatically reduces the cognitive load of reading the passage, but it also transforms the passage itself into a resource for answering the questions.
The key is learning how to consistently find that Big Picture while reading one sentence at a time. That's the skill that allows you to stay oriented throughout the passage, avoid getting lost in the details, and know exactly where to return when a question asks about something specific.
That's the foundation of my RC instruction. From there, we can build a more reliable process for passage analysis, question execution, and answer elimination.
Feel free to DM me if you'd like to discuss your current RC performance and goals in a little more detail.
