SAT Methodology: University Crossroads prepares students to take the SAT with tutoring and resources. The classes are open to all high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors including those in public, private, and charter schools as well as those home-schooled. With our 3.5 hour sessions, we promote the following methodology.
Replace aptitude with hard work as a measure of success (effort-based learning)
Set goals and acknowledge accomplishments
Engage critical thinking and problem-solving through questioning, discussion, and evidence-based reasoning
Present, model and discuss authentic learning
Keep the discussion focused and intellectually responsible
Stimulate the discussion with probing questions
Draw as many students as possible into the discussion
Question student-to-student, probe, use evidence and knowledge to develop ideas
Here are a few tips to assist students during tutoring sessions.
