Recent Sandy Springs Tutoring Session Notes
I proctored an untimed reading test, which lasted about 56 minutes. Currently, the student is spending roughly 14-16 minutes per reading passage, and ideally, he should be spending half as much time. We were able to review his strategies for several of the questions/passages, and will go into greater depth when we meet next Wednesday afternoon.

The student and I worked on a packet I brought in on different aspects of effective sentences. We went over the different types of sentence errors and questions that he may encounter on the test. I had him write incorrect sentences and then correct them. Afterwards, we went over his homework. He did great on all three passages, missing 2 questions on the first two and 3 or 4 on the last one. I gave him some homework sheets on paragraph unity and coherence.

The focus of the rest of our sessions will be reviewing for various finals. Math is her first final, so we started our review for that today. She has access to all her tests from the year, so I had advised her to start working through those problems as a great study method. She started this on her own before our meeting today, so we were able to immediately focus on problems she had difficulty with. I found that she had forgotten how to do % increase/decrease problems (ex. a sweater is purchased for $40, which is a 25% discount; what was the original price). I re-taught her how to do those problems and she worked through the old test problems related to that topic. By the end of our session, she had completed about 80% of the test questions she had available to work on. I decided to take what she had finished home with me to grade, so that I could be sure she was doing all the problems correctly.

Worked with the student on writing and verbal today. At this point he has the basics down in almost everything. I want to focus our next few sessions on getting him to the point where he can complete the sections in the time given. He tends to rush through the sections, finishing them in 10 or 12 minutes but missing more questions than he should. I am focusing with him on slowing down slightly and checking his answers. The only section that really concerns me is the reading section because this is where He's rushing is the most detrimental to his scores. We have talked about different ways to approach this section and it is where I will continue to focus my time with him.

The student and I covered more stuff about triangles. Properties about angles and lengths of sides. It was mostly using old concepts in new ways so he did well with it. Then we covered some simple stuff with quadrilaterals and he took well to it. He'll need more practice but we will cover that this week probably.
