SAT Math

More than 6 years experience

The SAT is a standardized test administered by the College Board, a non-profit organization that runs other programs including the PSAT (Preliminary SAT), AP (Advanced Placement) and CLEP (College-Level Examination Project). The SAT is a primary entrance exam used by colleges and universities in the United States. The full meaning of the SAT is the Scholastic Assessment Test, which was earlier known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test. SAT exam has been developed to evaluate the writing, reading, verbal and mathematical skills of the candidates.

Preparation for SAT examination is unique and special, from conventional mathematics examination where a candidate is allowed to use calculator throughout and hope to pass. A candidate should be thoroughly groomed in the mathematical aspects which constitute SECTION 3 and 4. Section three consists of objective mathematical questions, to be answered within twenty-five (25) minutes without the use of a calculator. The questions are from algebra, geometry, basic trigonometry, algebraic functions, elementary statistics and basic foundations of calculus. This section consists of fifteen (15) multiple choice questions, five grid-ins.

Section four also consists of objective mathematical questions, to be answered within fifty-five (55) minutes. In this section, the use of a calculator is allowed. This section starts after a short break from the completion of section three and it consists of thirty multiple choice questions and eight grid-ins. It takes good preparation to pass the mathematics sections.

I have been teaching and preparing candidates for SAT math, writing and reading examination for quite sometimes and 80% of the people I prepared for the examination got between 1284 – 951 points (A+, B+, B, C+) and I'm still in touch with some of them who are currently in the United States studying in high-profile universities.

I used interactive, participatory and inclusive approaches in teaching and preparing candidates for SAT examination. This is because I like to bring all my clients to the state of 'experiencing' the examination during the teaching before the actual examination. My teaching aids are standard manuals for SAT, standard textbooks on SAT examination, past questions, practicing questions, videos on SAT examinations, audios on SAT examinations, answer sheets, laptop computer, and many more. I also give my clients all the aids listed above for further preparation even after the completion of the lessons.

I'm an expert on one-on-one teaching method to inculcate knowledge and skills on how to pass SAT examination on the first attempt. With my knowledge of mathematics and a professional tutor with a postgraduate diploma in education (PGDE), I want to give assurance to every client /candidate that he/she would pass in the category of A+, A, B+ or C+ if we work together. Thanks.

Levels taught: Nursery, Primary, Jss, Sss, Undergraduate and Adult

Teaching Curriculum: Nigerian, British, American

Having been in British and American systems of education and taught students/pupils using their curriculums, I found out that in primary/elementary school stage, the level of learning using British curriculum is substantially higher. However, it seems to me that the American curriculum picks up.
