Today I did a one on one tutoring session with Alyce(from Brazil). Her main motivation behind improving her English is passing the Toefl exam. I met with her and her friend(Melissa) at Atomic coffee as a convenient location with internet.
I found a practice test online which I thought had potential to be very good practice material for Alyce. We read the first passage together, and then went through the fairly simple questions about about the passage. She was having trouble retaining information esp. vocabulary and syntax.
I gave her my toefl question sheet that explains the different types of questions normally found on the toefl exam. At the end of about 45 minutes answering the questions, we went through the answers and finding or explaining the support for each of the answers. There were only a few questions she didn't completely understand by the end of the practice but she also had been studying for a couple hours previous to our meeting.
