I make sure students know the rules, and work to undo their instinct to rely on intuition rather than using the grammar rules they learned .For the reading exam, the most important things for most students are speed and "knowing the test." Students who know what information to look for in passages and what...

I typically start a tutoring relationship by building a layer of trust, communication, and support and then gradually move towards...
