I wrote the following this morning in response to a student who decided to pass on me after one tutoring session because she wants someone "more warm":

"Good morning! I agree. Not because I don't want to tutor you, but because you should get the tutoring style that is fruitful for you. My door is always open if you ever change your mind. I wish you success."

Note that her message to me was not accusatory or insulting, and it was thanking me.

This was SAT tutoring.

She has gotten some books to help her, and she hopes to take the June test. I checked the calendar and this is about one month from now.

Can someone be brought up to speed in one month? Yes.

Can she? I doubt it... especially considering that we ended our tutoring session with her asking for me to get questions marked "easy" in the database of question.

I think she's in for a rude awakening.

It is not that the math part of the SAT requires outlandish knowledge. However, it does require the ability to bring what the student has learned back to mind quickly. (For instance, you need to have the quadratic formula down pat and be able to bring it up, and know how to use it not only to find the zeros of a parabola, but also how to find the vertex.) In addition, it requires a significant shift from what math teachers usually require from their students. In class, the teacher usually says "show your work." For the SAT, showing your work is a death sentence. First, they do NOT want to see you work. They just want the answer. More importantly, if you spend time showing your work, you are wasting time. The SAT is timed, and students routinely run out of time to complete both sections of the math part. The faster you can be, the better.

For the average student, taking the SAT is a shock. It was a shock for me too. I've never formally taken the SAT, but I've done simulations of it in preparation for tutoring. (Well, the math part of it.) The first few times were rough, precisely because I was spending too much time showing my work, when that is not only unnecessary, but harmful.

I'm thinking of changing my blurb for the SAT to state that I'm only taking students who have either simulated taking the SAT with the Bluebook software provided by the College Board (or something equivalent), or taken the actual exam and haven't been satisfied with their score. I think these students are better able to appreciate what I offer.

I don't mess around when I tutor. My approach is direct. Yes, you're going to make mistakes, but the time to make mistakes is when I'm there to help you, not when you're on the actual test.

Seen in a tutoring ad for the SAT:

"My son would like to raise his score to 200 points."

:catthinking: **to** 200???? Or **by** 200?

There's a difference. A score of 200 on the SAT is an abject failure.

TLDR; Anyone looking for affordable #science #tutoring let me know.

👩‍🔬 <- My aunt is a wonderful human being. She is qualified as a #science teacher and over the last year has undergone quite an upheaval in life, relocating to a totally new area in the process. She’s now looking to get back to work via personal tutoring from the new year onwards.

She’s not in it for the money, preferring to help those less advantaged. If you know anyone in secondary education in the UK who wants/needs extra tuition let me know and I’ll put you in touch.

Ideally she’ll get some work local to her in the #Malvern area (#Worcestershire) that she can do in person, but she can also do a few slots per week remote tutoring via Jitsi or similar.

From the article: "Named for the 2014 law that created them, the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act, ABLE accounts have been available since 2016 to individuals identified by a doctor as having a disability before the age of 26. Next year, they’ll become available to those identified before the age of 46, which will increase access to an additional 6 million people, including 1 million veterans, according to Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott, who administers the accounts in his state. An estimated 8 million people nationwide already qualify."

#TIL I should remember to clear the whiteboard between students.

Had my youngest student today question what the term 'pseudo-penis' was.

Told them it was above their pay grade and was able to distract them with the trumpets I had brought for today's double lesson.
