Award-Winning Private Summer Tutoring in Carson, CA

"The student and I went over her math homework assignment on multiplying 4-digit numbers. Then we did some word association practice and I taught her circumlocution as a technique when she cannot think of a particular word rather than getting frustrated or "stuck." We plays an alternate version of "heads up"/taboo to practice vocabulary and quick speaking. Then we made her a personal glossary in her notebook and went over 11 common roots to work on building her vocabulary base so she can improve in fluency and decoding in reading. We ended with her reading me aloud an excerpt from Judy Blume and added "equivalent," which was an unknown word to her, to her glossary. "

"We started today's session by looking at the student's binder. Outside of 2 papers not having proper headings on them, his binder looks fantastic. After the binder check, he continued his Algebra homework, and we went over finding rational roots of various polynomials."

"We discussed and studied for the student's finals. She created notes for her Biology final, and we studied some of her vocabulary words for her English final. I encouraged her to utilize the study materials I sent her last week."

"The student and I used his Biology review packet to study for his midterm on Friday. He felt comfortable with a lot of the material but needed to go over some of the vocabulary and the cell processes. We created flashcards for the terms he still struggled with after review so he can continue to go over them before his exam."
