Award-Winning Private Graduate Test Prep Tutoring in Enterprise, NV

In this session, the student and I went through a mock GRE quantitative set to prepare her for her upcoming full GRE attempt. I outlined several timing strategies that she will try out, and we figured out some areas where she can improve.

The student and I began by going through a number of quantitative problems that she had been struggling with in her studies. I explained the math concepts involved when necessary and illustrated the solutions. We went through a number of data interpretation problems in detail. Once we were finished with those problems, we went through a number of high difficulty number picking problems. She was able to solve a majority of the problems on her own, and I assisted her with the other problems towards arriving at a solution.

The student and I concluded chapters 11 and 12 in the GRE review. He will finish the drill at the end of chapter 12, and read through chapters 13 and 14, and complete the drills at the end of each chapter.

The student and I connected for the first time to prepare for the GRE. We focused on Quantitative Reasoning. He is still awaiting books that he ordered, so we shared my version of the GRE prep book. We worked through problems from Chapter 5, one at a time. All of the problems were of the Quantitative Comparison type. We mainly discussed the utility of a technique to determine the relationship between quantities by assuming a "mystery relationship" and working both sides as if it were an equation or inequality in hopes of simplifying the problem enough for a relationship to become apparent. For next session, the student will complete problems in Chapter 5 and possibly 6 from the GRE prep book. This session went very well. He is great to work with. I'm also appreciating the online platform a lot more.

Today we talked about how to read, summarize, and understand court opinions for a business law class in the EMBA program. We were able to review a summary the student had prepared, which was very good. I am going to review the cases and other summaries to make sure they are accurate. I will also make suggestions about the process. I am confident the student will do well in this class.

We finished up a reading test, and then moved to an English test. The student needs to work on his vocabulary, his speed, and really synthesizing close reading (focused on details) and big picture reading (looking at tone, point of view, and themes). He should work on being an active reader, underlining, circling, and writing little notes in the margins after each paragraph. In English, he's still struggling with punctuation rules (especially the different uses of commas and semicolons) and when a clause is independent, dependent, or a fragment. We will continue to work on this next session.
