The ACT is coming up, so that means I am doing some extra tutoring these days.
I was working with a student last night. She is a girl after my own heart, demonstrating a real love for learning.
We had gone through several passages for the reading test. It was getting late & she was getting tired. We had just finished going over a fourth passage, and she was really improving on some things we had been discussing. With a new confidence and excitement over what she was learning she exclaimed, I want to do another passage! But then she realized that would mean reading another long passage and decided not to.
As I thought she was packing up, she turned to a math test & said, I like picking problems in the math test to see if I can do them! After we met last time I realized the test is just a trap, so I like picking problems at the end to see if I can do them.
She proceeded to attempt several problems, with me guiding her if she got stuck.
Who stays extra long at a tutoring session because she thinks it's fun to see if she can figure out challenging math problems?
Not even.....okay...only one person.
