Dynamic ESL Classes with Accent Coaching and Test Prep Strategies

The session focused on reviewing the Student's recent SAT practice test scores and refining vocabulary strategies for the SAT. They discussed performance on the writing and math sections, with particular attention to improving vocabulary for reading comprehension. The Student was assigned homework to identify and define new words from SAT practice test 11 and will receive a new digital vocabulary exercise via email due to technical issues with the previous one.

The Student and Tutor reviewed previously assigned SAT vocabulary homework, including sentence creation. The session primarily involved the Student completing a timed practice set of 20 SAT questions, followed by a detailed review of the answers. For follow-up, the Student was assigned to identify and define unknown words from incorrect answers, re-attempt those questions, and apply this method to a new practice text on Bluebook.

The session focused on improving the Student's English grammar and vocabulary skills. The Student practiced using simple past tense verbs and reviewed several vocabulary words from an SAT grammar guide, including "rarity," "contextualize," "would," and "curatorial." Homework was assigned for the Student to create correct sentences using these words and others not yet covered, emphasizing seeking understandable definitions.

The tutor and student reviewed vocabulary, focusing on definitions and sentence construction for words like 'ambient' and 'clipped'. They then transitioned to SAT reading comprehension practice, analyzing passages and answering questions to improve comprehension and analytical skills.

The student and tutor reviewed vocabulary, focusing on definitions and correct sentence construction for words like 'naturalist,' 'vegetation,' and 'urge.' A significant portion of the session was spent on the word 'looseness,' with the tutor emphasizing the importance of precise definitions and avoiding the use of unfamiliar terms. They planned to continue this practice and scheduled a follow-up session for further review.

The Student and Tutor focused on structuring an analytical essay, specifically working on body paragraphs for individual characters and developing a robust conclusion. They practiced selecting appropriate quotes, organizing information by character, and connecting the essay's themes to real-life situations. The Student is expected to complete the essay as homework.
