Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
We went over the questions that she missed on the math sections of her SSAT diagnostic test to make sure she knew the concepts. She did very well on these, but as we moved to the reading comprehension it was obvious that she needs more assistance in that area. I gave her a few worksheets that go over the math skills we focused on so that she can be as confident as possible about her skills. For our next session, I plan to go over the missed questions on the verbal section of her test and practice those needed skills.
