SAT Prep Class

Although the past six weeks did not have me teaching my normal night classes, I did take part in teaching a SAT Prep Class for some high school students of one of the private schools here.
Mostly I did prep work for the English section, but I did do one session for the math section. This was a lot of fun for me because it gave me the chance to interact with bright young students, compared to the adults that I normally teach. It was also neat to talk American universities with them and talk about where to go, what to major in, ect. It was also great because I overheard 3 girls talking about the show Vampire Diaries and then I mentioned that my husband and I watch it, well this made the girls crazy because they could not imagine that married couples would watch it..haha, what do they know.
Overall I think the prep course went well, but who knows until they take it, but it was interesting to see how over the weeks they did become more familiar with the types of questions (it was the first time they ever will have to take a multiple choice test).
And by this I mean that we had to teach 'basic' strategies for discarding some of the choice quickly, when to guess, when not to guess, ect.

It really took me back to high school..haha
