I went to the Riverview school again today. I met Sam and Philip. Mrs. McDowell seemed to have changed her mind and wanted me to tutor/mentor/help prepare them to take their SATs. They are both juniors, and Sam at least will be taking the SATs in tha fall. He is taking a course this summer, but would like to start preparing now. I think that I'll be helping both boys with the vocabulary and reading sections. They have a two week spring break, so the next meeting will be in April.
We talked about various ways to work on vocab. Mrs. McDowell had a box of flash cards and vocab sheets. The four of us decided that I will bring in some SAT prep software for the next meeting, so that the boys can work on it on their laptops when I'm not there, and that we might do some Skype meetings online, if they need further help when I'm not there.
We'll see how actual mentoring goes when they get back from break.
