Of course, if what the student needs is a further explanation of lectured material, I am also happy to provide that, but I...

...in Richmond, Virginia. I also spent a summer in Nairobi, Kenya, teaching at an all-girls school. I greatly enjoy tutoring both history (and related social studies) and mathematics because I see them as two different ways of telling stories about the world in which we live.

We discussed time management and techniques for answering questions. I answered remaining questions that each of them had. Student A reviewed the answers he had gotten wrong on his practice test while Student B practiced percents, decimals and fraction conversion.

The student and I went over her score on the Logical Reasoning sections I assigned and discussed some of the questions she got wrong and approaches to make in the future in order to avoid the same mistakes. We then switched to doing some of the games questions. She did three game fact patterns, untimed. Her diagramming of the problems is pretty efficient and she performed well with increased accuracy. I informed her that repetition is one of the best things to help her with increased speed on the test. I assigned two Logical Reasoning sections and one games section for homework. We are going to meet again on Wednesday.

The student had to do a set of homework on the subtraction principle of proofs. The only issue that we need to address for the sake of good test taking is being very careful about copying questions exactly and not losing track of positive or negative signs in a problem. We will work on techniques for catching mistakes, such as pausing to think about the logic of an answer, to provide a check on tests in class.
