Recent Long Beach Tutoring Session Notes
The student worked on math with in and out boxes, addition, subtraction and Venn diagrams. He worked on short vowels, reading and comprehension. He is making improvement in reading and math. If a passage is difficult, it seems to help for him to read the passage twice. He also does better when I ask him to read louder and to emphasize when a sentence ends.

The student and I worked on strategies for the social sciences and reading comprehension sections (reading for trajectory and point-of-view; eliminating answer choices based on tone; identifying literary techniques in poems; scanning answer choices for verbs). We had an introductory lesson on trigonometry, and I assigned trigonometry reading in our Algebra/Trig book. We also discussed how to identify trends in a data set using mean, median, and mode.

The student and I spent most of today working on her "how things work" physics project on refrigerators. Today we consolidated information, made and practiced her presentation, and made her bibliography. In the last half hour, we went through her review for her Pre-Calculus test tomorrow, which covered arithmetic and geometric sequences and sums as well as calculating probability, combinations/permutations, independent/dependent events, and "and vs. or" in probabilities.

The student and I introduced ourselves to one another, and then we visited with the parents to set goals. We set a 3 week goal to accomplish an adequate grade in this class and a 6 week goal to get him independent from my assistance. The three week goal is aggressive; he hopes to post an A in his English class. I expect he has the ability to achieve the goal. The 6 week goal is also aggressive. He will need the time management skills we will discuss to accomplish success as an anesthesiologist.

We went over an acid-base titration lab, and we figured out the teacher forgot a key piece of information in order to complete the questions. We then moved onto math and did what we could with what he didn't understand. I asked him if he was turning in all of his homework and he said yes. In the coming weeks I will need to be a lot more diligent and forceful in assuring that he is actually turning his homework in. (90% on tests, 50% on homework is making his grade a C-)
