This was our first meeting so a big part of it was getting to know Cameron and beginning to assess his skills for prepartation of the test. He says he is very nervous about the math and writing section and feels very comfortable with the reading. I had him do a timed writing sample and was very pleased with his first effort. He has the basic structure of the 5 paragraph essay down, but needs to work on developing his ideas more fully. He also needs work on basic sentence and paragraph structure but I am confident he will pick it up rather quickly. We talked about the SSAT and the effort it will require from him over the next month. He said he was a bit nervous, but willing to do what it takes to be successful. All in all, I thought it was a very positive first session.
