About

With approximately 3 weeks remaining for the August Digital SAT, improving the Grammar skills is much more easier than the reading skills. Fortunately, despite having differences in difficulities, they are worth of similar points. So, to all learners reading this, I guarantee you, by the end of these sessions, you will be much more confident in your Digital SAT Gramma
r Scores than you were previously. We will be mainly going over Khan Academy, but additional sources might also be used throughout the course. I am expecting an interactive working plan, and therefore, as an international student myself, I invite all learners from all around the world to unlock the mysteries of Grammar. Trust me, it is way easier than you think.

P.S: Even if you are not planning to take the Digital SAT in August, you may enroll, and I would still be happy to help you.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

About the Tutor

Hi dear friends, following the summer, I will be a senior in Turkey as an International Baccalaruate Year 2 Student. I love politics, football, math and history. I am here to be a relief to my peers who are struggling to learn in areas such as Math and English. I am specifically excited to help in Digital SAT preperation, as I believe have sufficient information to provide you guys. Still, I am open to different experiences, and I will not hesitate to even push my own limits in teaching things. So, I will try to be a guide on whatever you need!

Session 1

SAT Reading & Writing

Since this is the first session, in the first 10-15 minutes, I will focus on icebreaking games, giving the chance of feeling more comfortable to learners. Then, for the following 15 minutes, I will explain the way I planned the bootcamp. I will convey the sources I will be using, the questions they will be solving and the reflections we will me doing on them. I will introduce Khan Academy to them, and if they don't know, I will briefly explain what it is. Then, we will scan through what we will go through the bootcamp by breifly examining the Grammar page in Khan Academy Digital SAT Course. All taking approximately 30 minutes, I will then start by going over "Subject-verb agreement " on Khan Academy. Depending on the student profile and the level of comprehension, I will adjust my pace in there. At the end, I will assign them with nearly 10-15 questions of Grammar, both from my personal sources and Khan Academy.

Session 2

SAT Reading & Writing

In the first 5 minutes, I will be rewelcoming the learners and providing the interactive environment of learning for students. Following that, for nearly 15 minutes, I will be guiding them through what they struggled on their assignments. We will be interactively solving the questions. For example, if learner A struggled with a question, and learner B got it right, I will kindly request learner B to explain their process of thinking. At the point there is no interactions from learners, I will show up, and assist in finding the solution. Making sure every single learner cleared their ways out of the previous assignment, I will follow up with the following topic on Khan Academy, probably being : Pronoun-antecedent agreement and Plurals and possessives. If time leaves, I will provide questions to solve cooperatively in class. Again, I will asign them with nearly 15 questions on the topics they learned.

At the point there is no interactions from learners, I will show up, and assist in finding the solution. The process will be similar in sessions, as I believe this is the sufficent way to learn. I will follow up with Verb forms and Subject-modifier placement from Khan Academy. This time, I will be giving a huge assignment, including nearly 40 questions for them to solve. It will be optional, but I will emphasize the importance of doing it.

Session 4

I am planning to give nearly 25-30 minutes of this session to previously given questions. I will again follow the method of interactive learning and teaching in which the students will be able to aid each other. Finishing that, I will give provide them with a pop quiz, which will be obviosuly not graded :). I will set a timer of 20 minutes, and wait for them to solve the quesitons. At the last 20 minutes, we will reflect on the questions they struggled. And then there will again be an assignment

Session 5

SAT Reading & Writing


This will be the last session we will be working on Khan Academy. We will finish each section there, after going over the givven assignments. I believe this will take nearly the 40 minutes, as there will be 3 topics to cover in detail, but the pace may change. Finising the session, I will make an announcement that the following and the last session will be a 30 minutes practice test on what we have covered so far.
