Recent Software Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I worked mostly on interrogative words. I wrote sentences down and he would answer them correctly most of the time. We went over all the interrogative words, especially cuando, and he improved remembering them with practice. We also went over verb ending in -er and -ir in the preterite tense. The student remembers the correct conjugation when he goes over the verb conjugations. The -er and -ir verbs are new to him and it shows he has been studying to memorize them.
The student had finished reading Macbeth, so we went through and developed answers for the short answer section of lesson 8. We also took the time to create an outline for the longer essay portion so that she can begin drafting the essay herself.
In our first session of the school year, the student and I worked through her American History homework (an essay on Abraham Lincoln and applying the ideals of justice, opportunity and rights to today's world) and she finished her math assignment, checking afterwards.
During this session with the student we worked exclusively on math problems. I brought along some tough math problems for her to work on that she did fairly well on. I think it would be best for her if I continued to bring problems that focus on functions and problems that are very convoluted/wordy. I didn't assign her anything to work on because we will be meeting tomorrow. I intend to work mainly on math with her again tomorrow, with maybe a bit of critical reading at the end to brush up on her strategies before her next practice test.
Today we discussed the format of GRE, including types and durations of sections, quantitative question types, and test day logistics. We also discussed a plan for our next six sessions. I assigned a diagnostic exam from his book as homework. We will analyze the diagnostic exam to determine future course of study, but anticipate we will begin by going over the first section.
Today we started off with geometry and worked on sine and cosine ratios. Once she understood how to approach the problems, she had a really easy time with it and was able to finish her worksheet quickly. She has a test over taxonomy, which is remembering all of classifications for living organisms and their characteristics, which is a lot of information.
