Award-Winning Private ASPIRE Tutoring in Olathe, KS

Tonight, we worked on the practice test. We did some reading comprehension, and addressed a writing prompt. Tomorrow and Thursday, we will work on the editing sections, and more writing. The student takes the test Tuesday and Wednesday for the first sections, so the work we are doing this week will prepare her for that. Good session. No homework was left since she has school work, and I will see her tomorrow.

The student and I continued to work on practice problems from the SAT math section, both the multiple choice and fill-in problems. In the course of working these problems, I gave her some tips as to working faster. We did some brief lessons on graphing polynomial functions and solving systems of equations as well. She still struggles some with the geometry questions, but in general she has a good grasp of the material. I advised her to take a few timed practice sessions, so we can get an idea as to whether we need to work on saving time.

I had all three students do another full set of math sections from a practice SAT. They all either improved or stayed the same, which is fantastic to see because they already had high scores to begin with. Students tend to have a harder time improving once they have a score higher than 600, so their improvement is a great sign. We went over the test and reviewed whatever they had trouble with. Word problems were the biggest area they had trouble in, so we are going to focus a bit on them for our next session. Besides that, there were no specific areas that any of them had a lot of issues with. We also did a quick review on exponents and the rules for them. For our last few math sessions we will continue practicing and giving extra attention to whatever the hardest subject matters are.

The student and I worked on all of the sections today, including the essay. She was able to bump up her English score 6 points from her original score!! Way to go!! She's improving all around. We still need to work on science and math, but they're coming along. She has some practice for the next week. Well done!!

The student completed half a section of ACT math and I helped him where he was stuck. I noted some key issues that appeared in the problems. Then we did a full section of ACT science and I recommended he practice chemistry questions on his own because that seemed to confuse him.

The student and I continued our work on the math section. We worked our way through more practice problems and I encouraged him to give full attention to even the most challenging questions. I also reviewed some basic geometry such as triangle identities and parallel lines that occur frequently on the SAT math section.
