US Grade 8 - 11
SAT and ACT Reading and Grammar is easier than you think. I have sucessfully tutored dozens and dozens of students and they all showed tremendous gains in scores. In the hour meeting each week, I will show you how to recognize the grammatical errors you must know as well as the strategies to think about reading on a critical level. We will use released exams and I will show you how to approach the timing, the order to answer in, and anything else I see that will help you. Week One- subject verb agreement,pronouns,faulty comparisons in grammar and fiction reading comprehension Week Two- Run on sentences, Main claims, review of week one, and non fiction passages such as science and history : concluding sentences, main idea, function of underlined sentences Week Three- misplaced modifiers, supporting evidence , and reading comparing passages, review, transitions, summarize sentences, topic sentences, and timing of reading strategies Week Four- review, practice grammar section and scoring, review of what is needed- Depending on the class progression, I will adjust and review as we go.
Learning Goals
Students will weekly see an increase in his or her knowledge and in the scores on passages we work through. You will learn the 18 errors used in grammar, transition words and when to use them. I reading , you will learn inferencing, supporting evidence, and the techniques of active reading in order to never again say "I do not know what I just read".

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
I have been an educator for more than 25 years. During that time, I have taught elementary school and high school (last 16 years). I have taught every level of student and I know how important it is to begin where a student is: to capitalize on strengths and to improve and work on weaknesses. I teach Language Arts: reading comprehension, grammar, essay writing, (especially for college applications) and literature. Over the past ten years, I have become a most sought after SAT/ACT tutor and I love helping students to achieve scores needed to be able to appy to schools of their dreams! My students also often call me a "life coach". I connect with teenagers-I tell it like it is and I encourage them.
Lasy year I became a grandmother for the first time to two beautiful little girls. My favorite thing to do is read books to them!Reviews
