Topic/Skill: TOEFL reading comprehension
We continued from where we left yesterday, which was TOEFL reading comprehension. We found an entire sample test and spent the whole tutoring session reading the paragraphs and answering the comprehension questions together. Each time I asked her to identify what type of question was being asked (Inference, Sentence Simplification etc.) This way she got more aware of what kind of answer she was supposed to look for in the text. The material was definitely not level-appropriate but since she is going to take the TOEFL test she needs to get used to answering comprehension questions about a text that is very academic and on an advanced level. I made sure to help steer her in the right direction when she was looking at the wrong place for an answer ("Try reading this sentence again"). We ended the session by going over the answers and checking the score. She got a very satisfying score and this definitely seemed to lift her spirits!
