"The student is great at understanding new concepts and has the potential to perform very well with enough practice. We absolutely need the textbook next time because I would really like to assign her homework from the book to prepare her for the test. We covered the sections that would be on her quiz the next day and solved several pages in her worksheet packet. I would like her to bring her last quiz and test so we can go over that during the next session. "

"Started on her geometry test review packet today. Had to review some of the earlier materials, such as identifying concave, convex, equilateral, etc. She's very strong at her algebra to find the lengths and such. Overall I'd say she's looking like she's in pretty good shape for the test next week."

"The student wrote an essay with the title "Actions Speak Louder than Words". He then reviewed the vocabulary words from the previous sessions. Afterwards, he completed Practice Drill #14, where he decided between the positive and negative meanings of the word. He also completed Drill # 15. The new vocabulary words were: lugubrious, cacophonous, slander, incorrigible, eloquent, agile, and toil."

"We covered the Math section of the SAT. We went over some basic test taking tips for specific types of questions and reviewed math concepts that came up while taking a practice session. Set hw and goals to meet for next meeting on the 20th. "

"We covered methods for solving problems involving direct proportionality, inverse proportionality, and percentages. The student successfully learned and implemented these methods on several practice problems. "

"The student and I went over the essay that she wrote in advance of this session. We went through the areas of success and the areas of potential improvement in intense detail. I explained to her how I would have changed certain aspects of the essay and why I would have done so. I also asked her to revise the essay in advance of the next session. We also went over several sentence correction exercises, which we had not done in the past. Mainly the session was devoted to the essay. I think the student made good progress in understanding what needs to be improved on the essay, including the specific types of examples that should be used. "

"Today we worked on Verbal, Reading Comprehension and Math. We discussed strategies she could use to help form a connection or decipher a word in the verbal section. She did well on the Math questions. We worked on multiple vocabulary drills. I want to expose her to as many words and word parts as possible. She is starting to make connections and figure out unknown words from her prior knowledge."

"To begin today's session, we talked over how the student's test went last week. He was quite pleased with his level of his preparation and felt very comfortable during the test. Next, we started a new integration technique called "u" substitution. Though many people initially struggle with this concept, the student seemed like he had a firm grasp on the new material. We solved lots of different problems where the student had to pick the "u" term and then complete the integration. I tried as much as possible to relate this back to prior differentiation techniques (like the chain rule) in order to build an association. I also tried to pick out several tricky problems to introduce the student to different strategies on how to solve these problems (different "u" terms or reorganize the terms). "

"Worked more on solidifying the student's Algebra and geometry foundations. Talked briefly about trig and worked on some complex geometrical questions involving 3D objects like cubes, spheres, and cylinders. "

"This session we reviewed more material from past chapters because he is preparing to take the final exam for the semester. We worked on conjugating the same verbs and we worked on how to use the verb GUSTAR. We also went over how to tell time. "
