In this 1-on-1 tutoring class, I will explicitly teach the learner essential test-taking skills. I will have slides prepared with each skill on them and a mock standardized test to use as an example. 

In a SINGLE** session, the learner will practicing using various test-taking skills using a first grade standardized test. They'll focus on using the strategies and skills rather than getting the answers correct.

Basic skills that I will cover include reading the directions, “marking” a question to come back to, process of elimination, calming your heart rate, and many other strategies. 

Each skill and strategy will directly help the learner approach any standardized test with confidence and ability. 

Structure of lessons: 
1. Introduce each strategy or skill.
2. The learner will write them down to keep and use.
3. We'll practice using the strategy or skill. 
4. We'll review what all they learned. 

Keynote slides will be used to help learner understand, visualize, and verbalize what they are learning. 

I will also support them as much as necessary.

This session will be highly interactive, using various slides, lively discussion, a lot of practice, and time to reflect and review.

**More sessions are available if needed.
