"Final meeting before the Saturday SAT. The student has shown drastic improvement over the last few weeks, especially in the Science section. It has been a pleasure working with the student and I wish him the best of luck on Saturday. "

"Today I met the student and we worked out of the assessment test workbook that I got from her previous tutor. We did some practice problems involving math word problems and played a game involving rapid addition. "

"The student brought the first draft of his paper on Frankenstein to our meeting. I underlined the striking points in his essay (certain analytical paragraphs) and we discussed how these striking pieces could come together more cogently to help him form a unified thesis to drive the paper. We discussed certain tensions in the novel that could drive an argument that would both showcase his critical thinking skills and engage his natural interest in the story."

"We went over her college application essays and edited them using a 3-part strategy for editing that involves glossing, highlighting, and a few short checklists. When we finished, her essay was 98% ready to turn in, and it moved up several grade levels in terms of composition and prose. We practice rewriting sentences to make them clear, concise, and compelling. We also brainstormed for her creative writing final. "

"Today with the student we worked on another sample essay, critiquing and working more on how to make his essays have more depth and be more complex despite the general prompts. We also went through a sample test he did. Then we did another Writing section together. He has improved in Reading, and did very well on those sections. "

"During this session, the student and I reviewed for her upcoming test on September 11th. Her test includes concepts from Chapter 1. She completed her homework on Solving Equations. We also completed a practice test on a website. "

"Today was our last meeting before the student takes the MCAT on Thursday. We finished up biology and then reviewed what to expect on test day and strategies for approaching each section. In biology we reviewed the skin, the reproductive systems, and genetics. In genetics we reviewed Mendelian genetics, genetic variability (mutations, crossovers, and independent assortment), and Hardy-Weinberg principles."

"The student and I had a good session today. We spent most of our time reviewing a recent quiz that he had trouble on, and spent the last 15 minutes reviewing his homework for next class. While he seems to have a fairly solid grasp of the concepts, he can sometimes make very minor mistakes (e.g. changing signs, not shading in graphs, etc.). I think taking one problem at a time and simply having more confidence in his ability to solve problems will benefit him greatly."

"The student and I started Lesson 2: Subject-Verb Agreement. We went through the lesson, learned all 23 rules, and took notes. We completed the review and started Practice questions A. He will work on finishing the assignment tonight. "

"We covered a new chapter on simulation analysis and how to apply it to the student's problem set. He was able to pick up the main techniques for running simulation and should be able to apply them to complete his homework."

"The student and I worked through a series of practice math tests. Verbal/critical reading is no problem at all -- he is able to correctly answer GRE level vocab questions and MCAT critical reading practice questions. Very impressive for an eighth grader."
