Recent Leawood Executive Functioning Tutoring Session Notes
I met with both students today. We spent about half of the time going over their last in-class essay and discussing new strategies for approaching it. Student 1 struggled with organization, so we worked on outlining, and we also talked about other things to include/leave out to make his writing stronger. Student 2 did not seem too worried about the essays, but I think he was still able to take some things away from our discussion to improve his approach/outline. The next 45 minutes we spent reviewing for the quiz they had the next day. They seem pretty comfortable with the material, so now it's just a matter of becoming more comfortable with the questions. They are tricky and require students to think in degrees of correctness, but there's definitely still plenty of time before the AP exam for both students to improve in that area.

The student and I reviewed what she has been doing in school so far - we talked about her standard tests this week and her progress on her grades. She made goals for what grades she wants to achieve on her last report card. For the remaining time, we read together from her reading book.

We continued to work through practice problems from the math sections, specifically systematizing the student's approaches to different problems. Then we spent time talking about the essay portion of the ISEE exam, from making a focused claim to constructing an outline to developing the argument as a whole. His grasp of the math section is progressing steadily, and his essay reasoning improved as I challenged him with his claims and helped him to draw out more of an argument to form a solid essay.

With one week left until her exam, the student and I spent this session focusing on math techniques. I had her do timed sections in order to acclimate to a timed testing scenario. We focused a bit more on unfamiliar concepts such as adding and subtracting fractions as well as multiplying and dividing fractions. We also did work with decimals, percentages and other mathematical concepts. In addition, to break up the math, we reviewed fifth and sixth grade vocabulary.
