Serena S

Serena, you jumped right into the session and clearly stated the plan (for example, vocabulary review, text structure, assessment, and questions). You also had some warm-up problems arranged for the session, which is great to show preparation before the session. I also liked how you included a vocabulary list, which shows your extra thoughtful preparation. Serena, you also provided a clear walkthrough for the vocabulary words. You also offered examples and helped May and Sam understand the nuances between similar words (like ingenuous/disingenuous/duplicitous). Your explanations of text structure concepts, such as the function of sentences, main purpose, and avoiding assumptions, were perfectly accurate and well-thought-out tips for the SAT.

Your SAT English expertise shines in the session. You skillfully explain complex grammar. At 19:27, your analysis of dashes and parentheses was enlightening. Your clarity on hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes at 35:17 shows strong punctuation knowledge. To enhance instruction, use real-world examples or mnemonics for better student retention.

You demonstrated excellent preparation and in-depth knowledge of SAT English content, particularly punctuation rules and sentence structure. Your explanations of key concepts like appositives, dependent/independent clauses, and comma usage were thorough and clear. For example, at 7:53 you gave a detailed breakdown of how to use commas with appositives. You also showed great depth of knowledge when discussing more complex topics like participial phrases (17:48). Keep this up!!
