BartlesTutor Ann Cleary for one-on-one
individualized help with college test
prep.
Any student (tutored or not) benefits
from working with practice exams. Practice won't make
perfect, but it will help improve your score. I use current
books, software, timed exercises and original individualized
worksheets.
Tutoring sessions include:
Reading Comprehension:
Intense collaborative close reading of questions and text
selections. This is the heart of the tutoring
process. Learn the different strategies for
answering questions on main ideas, inference, tone &
attitude, vocabulary in context, specific details,
technical terms.
Grammar: Subject and verb
agreement; adjectives and adverbs; verb formation; idioms
and pronouns.
Punctuation: Proper use of
commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, hyphens, apostrophes,
exclamation and question marks.
Sentence Structure &
Rhetoric: Dependent and independent clauses;
parallelism; sentence fragments; comma splices and fused
sentences.
Analogies: Basic types of
analogy problems, word relationships, vocabulary and
etymologies, cautions and tips.
Sentence Completion: Review
of common types of completion questions, contrast &
comparison signals, connectors, and double blank
sentences.
Writing Strategies:
Organization, tone and style.
Test Strategies: Since these
exams test your test-taking skills and not your
intelligence(s), strategies can improve your score. Learn
how to identify options and solve questions faster, make
intelligent guesses, and analyze problems so you don't
get lured into wrong answers.
