Award-Winning Private SAT Writing and Language Tutoring in El Monte, CA

The student is struggling with overcoming her lack of interest in the SAT reading passages. When she isn't interested, she loses focus, and her comprehension drops. We have begun a method of approaching the reading section that will allow her to read the passage in chunks and answer questions as she progresses through the passage rather than waiting until the end. She and her father have been working on Greek and Latin roots so as to build fluency and word recognition. A test's worth of reading passages have been assigned for next week.

The student is super talented in reading, and he breezed through the section. He is going to work on that for homework, so for next time, we can focus on only what he got wrong. We also did a little math, which he said he wanted to focus on for our sessions.

The student is taking this very seriously, and we spent most of today going over math. We have basically covered all of the material for the math portion, and now it is about practice and technique. Today we began looking at some grammar as well.

The student is very good at reading comprehension. Of the passage types, she is weakest at the science passages. However, I believe that this just stems from lack of confidence. Therefore, we spent today's session doing multiple science passages, and she did very well! We will resume math on Friday and plan to take a full-length practice test in the next week or two.

The student is very motivated and enthusiastic about doing well on his SAT/ACT. I am excited to work with him, and I look forward to seeing him improve in the coming weeks. We spent the majority of our session on math and English test-taking strategies. I've assigned targeted review on his math and a diagnostic English test.

The student is very smart and a good listener. He tends to get almost every practice question I give him right. I'm still working on some different methods to use since he is so close to reaching a perfect score. I gave him a practice essay and some focused practice on more difficult concepts.
