Recent Aurora Tutoring Session Notes
Like we discussed before I left, the student has a strong grasp of the math that she has seen before (the Algebra problems), so our future sessions will put a little more focus on the higher-level SAT problems, like the Geometry and Trigonometry problems. I will also be imparting some general standardized test-taking advice and tips which will help even if she encounters problems she cannot fully solve on her own. I am looking forward to next week's session!

The student and I began the session with some science, since that's where we left off last time. She already has some good strategies for the "Conflicting Viewpoints" section, which is great! We moved on to some math content review and some practice items. I'm having her read a few pages in a math review packet before our next session; I think it'll be good to start each session with a little math content review so it's not overwhelming with too much content at once. After some math practice, we did a few sections from the actual practice test #2. She did 2 passages from the English section and 1 from the science section. She's doing a great job with time management so far, and her content strategies are improving, which I know will continue throughout our sessions together!

I had anticipated the student having some homework we could look at together. We spent the beginning of the session building a rapport and getting to know what concepts she was studying in math. We ended up spending the hour reviewing bar graphs, fractions, and internalizing the multiplication table.

We covered a lot of ground tonight. We discussed another chapter in the book we are reading, went over some math concepts, discussed the practice English section she took during the week, and did some English and math practice. The strategy moving forward is to get in as much practice time as possible to make the test-taking experience as comfortable as possible for her.
