Lessons That Build Confidence and Improve Exam Skills

Personally, I felt that your steps to various components (summary, different question types for narrative comprehension, argumentative essay, etc.) were very useful and allowed me to be more confident before and while doing the paper as I felt more prepared and was ready to use the steps to attempt the questions. The steps you taught to answer any summary questions personally benefited me the most as I really learned the right approach to answer any type of summary question. I definitely felt more confident attempting the summary questions, which eventually allowed me to improve.

Also, I used to be quite weak at argumentative essays and never scored a grade I was satisfied with. I didn’t know how or what to do to improve my essay, but with your help, I learned to further develop my points. For instance, I learned to focus on writing the ultimate impact of the point I’m stating and further elaborating this impact. I benefitted a lot from all the sessions we’ve had, and I think these skills will definitely be helpful even in the long run.

You are also very encouraging and always affirm us whenever we answer your questions, even if our answer may not be the best. I feel so much more confident in your class! 😄

I was very engaged despite our lessons being conducted over Zoom, where I tend to get easily distracted. I have learned many new things in every session. For instance, I learned new vocabulary words every session, which was definitely helpful for me since I’m not an avid reader, and this boosted my knowledge of different vocabulary words!
