Award-Winning Private Economics Tutoring in Kirkland, WA

The student and I began our session working on letter blends like "sm" "sl" "sk" "tr" etc. She is making good progress here. We then talked about the letter combination "wh", and she did a great job with a crossword puzzle identifying "wh" words. We then did some subtraction -- I know she hasn't worked on this at home yet, but she was catching on very quickly! We finished up with some more review of calendars. The student is doing a great job with learning how to read calendars, as usual!

Topics:    More AS/AD scenarios, more CPI practice, business cycles and its relation to the Philips curve (unemployment and inflation), calculating GDP by value-added    Progress:    She is a very capable student. She will have to study many different subjects intensely before her upcoming final exams. Our sessions have been productive so far.

Met with the student today. We reviewed some old tests. The reading section was a little different but otherwise it was the same. We also did the vocabulary section and the quantitative math section but those were pretty much indistinguishable.

Today we discussed the student's upcoming research paper and strategies for effective research and synthesis of ideas into a research paper format. We also discussed citation and critical appraisal of source materials. Overall excellent session.

Today we worked on the student's English paper, due on Sunday. We mainly focused on outlining his body paragraphs with topic sentences and setting him up to be able to work through the rest of the essay. We will continue this work in our next session.

We went over and reviewed his connect homework for his business strategy class. We worked on various master plan schedules and the ways that companies may regulate their inventory and expected orders. It was a little challenging material around a fairly complex topic, but the student handled the material really well on some sections and struggled with others. We will continue to work on this next session.
