[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did well in college calculus, but I'm far too rusty to be much help, and don't want to be a step-parent/tutor. No way. What I don't get is how does a tutor identify holes from old material? I've never seen a tutor try to deep dive and seek out holes, they typically just try to help you get through current material. Wouldn't that first require a comprehensive math test, e.g. print off an old ACT math test?[/quote] I can't speak for math, but that's exactly what my DDs reading tutor did. She started with giving an assessment of her current reading and writing abilities. And then she developed a plan. Half of our tutor time is spent developing strategies for reading, comprehension, decoding, inferencing that should have been done years ago and the second half is spent addressing the current assignments.[/quote]
