Verbal Reasoning

More than 6 years experience

Verbal reasoning, in a nutshell, is thinking with words. As the name suggests, it’s a form of problem-solving based around words and language. It involves thinking about the text, solving word problems, following written instructions to come up with a solution, spotting letter sequences and cracking letter and number based codes. Verbal reasoning exams are intended to test a child’s ability to understand and reason using words, and are a test of skill, rather than of learned knowledge. The theory is that the examining body builds a picture of a child’s potential for critical thinking, problem-solving and intelligence.

So, it’s about implementing a methodology to ease the difficulty and increase your efficiency. Here are some of the techniques I devise for my students; The first step is to read and understand the whole problem, most likely the problem will provide a guide to the answer, take note of what is happening in the problem and try to picture it in your head.

Lesson planning and visually engaging educational techniques are just a few areas in which I have gained experience and thorough comprehension over the years. I also make use of illustrative analogies to aid the learning process of my student. This approach has been highly effective and has produced outstanding results even in slow learners. I access my students periodically and provide feedback to the parent.

My experience and enthusiasm for education provide me with the drive and knowledge to significantly impact your ward and help achieve success.
