Recent Irving Tutoring Session Notes
We worked through the chapter that she has a test for on Wednesday. We focused on mitosis and meiosis in detail. And I recommended that she write out the order of the mitosis and meiosis on the exam so that she has a reference to look at when answering multiple choice questions.

Looked at the introduction she prepared for her King Lear essay and then collected further ideas for where the essay is going. Wrote ideas down for contemplation of narrative threads within the ideas she had. Spent time working through techniques and styles that have given her issues and how to think about high school expectations in a more positive fashion; a journey instead of a cause and effect relationship between assignments and learning. Her homework is to write the next section of her Lear essay and decide on a narrative thread to pick up.

I continued to cover the questions and material to help prepare the student for this exam. Most of the time he requires a review of arithmetic and basic math concepts in order to do the statistics problems. Since the student does not have any notes for his material, I asked him to bring his laptop to our next session so that I can pull up material to explain the information to him.

The student has a test tomorrow on ratio & proportion & similar figures. We went over the last couple of homework assignments as well as her questions on the assigned review problems. She was especially confused at first by proofs utilizing "corresponding parts of similar triangles" conclusions, but seemed to gain confidence with all of the material as the session progressed.

This was my first session with the student. We went over his upcoming assignments and tests and talked about what he needed to get finished this week. I suggested some strategies for studying for tests such as outlining and diagramming. I also suggested that he start writing things down as he reads them to help with retention. We briefly talked about DNA and RNA, and our next session is scheduled for Tuesday so I can help him prepare for his Wednesday biology test.
