I am going to begin tutoring an ESL/EFL student next week. The focus of this, as set by the parents, is for him to pass the SSAT and TOEFL after about a year or two years so he can go to high school at a boarding school in the US.
I didn’t even know what the SSAT was until a couple weeks ago. So could anyone give me some tips, good websites, or book/study guide suggestions?
He needs to get a 2200 on the SSAT.

OK here is the background and the current situation. My girlfriend of 2 years has recently allowed me to review her credit report and overall financial situation. Situation: Extremely Bad. She was raised within a family (like many) that did not teach financial literacy whatsoever. Her predicament resides mostly within student loans, however there is some other debt as well. She’s a smart girl (less basic financial sense) and I’ve gone over some basic “best practices” when it comes to debt and credit to try to at least stop the bleeding. Below is information that will better describe the situation:

Literacy coaches, teachers, principals, and administrators alike share the common goal of student achievement but when schools are practically overflowing with assessment data of all types, where do you begin to create a plan for improving literacy instruction across grade levels and content areas? In fact, the answer already hangs on every bulletin board, fills every journal, and is a part of every literacy program a school might choose: Student work is the way in.
Instead of using assessments to merely label, grade, or determine whether students should move on to the next grade level and then neatly file…
