"I covered how to write each decimal represented by given models, how to write each fraction as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 and how to order each set from greatest to least. I helped the student to use each spelling word to complete the sentences. Finally, for social studies, she learned the new vocabulary words and reviewed the old ones; I explained the "American Revolution" including the "Battle of Lexington and Concord" since she has a retake this Friday."

"Today the student and I started with mathematics followed by Biology. In Mathematics, we first reviewed the student's homework assignment on finding area of irregularly shaped objects. I taught the student two methods of doing so ( Method 1: Divide figure into rectangles, add areas; Method 2: Whole- Parts). The student did very well with this. We then moved on to the student's next worksheet, which was on Volume. We created a study sheet which had names, pictures, and formulas of the 3 dimensional shapes- Rectangular Prism, Triangular Prism, Rectangular Pyramid, cone...etc. We then applied these formulas to questions. The student did very well. We then reviewed evolution terms( the topic of what Caitlin is currently learning in biology): Homologous structures, Analogous Structures, Charles Darwin, etc. Our next tutoring session is scheduled for next week, 5:00PM.

"We continued to work on the Math section of the ACT. We went over the practice test I gave the student at the end of the last sessions, and she seems to have made marked progress from when we began working on the ACT. She has a good grasp of all plane geometry concepts, so we've moved on to drilling the trigonometry concepts."

"During our session, we first reviewed the student's homework, which are word problems using subtraction and division. Her biggest struggle was problems that required two steps, but drawing out a visual or using the tape-method helped with this gap. In the remaining time, we reviewed long division. She really enjoyed relearning how to do long division and jumped at the chance to practice and show her work!"

"We reviewed multiple problems in preparation for the student's final. Problems included working with logs, inequalities, domain, vertical and horizontal asymptotes, rational functions, roots of equations, complex numbers, and polynomials in the 4 and 5 degrees. The student demonstrated good understanding and is confident about the final because of all the review that we completed."

"First, I introduced the student to some of the basics about the test he'll be taking: how many sections there are, what they cover, how long the test is, how many questions, etc. Then, we worked on strategies for answering sentence completion questions. The first section also contains a lot of straightforward vocabulary questions, so I instructed him to download a vocabulary builder and discussed his reading habits. The rest of the session was mostly spent getting some basics on the courses he's taking: what they're covering right now, the homework load, and class expectations."

"We covered the first four sections of the ISEE test. The student struggled a bit with percentages and questions involving conceptual algebra. I gave her a few strategies to help with both of these and some material to review afterward as well."

"The student and I worked on word problems, ratios, multiplication of fractions, and reviewed the order of operations and formulas for area of different shapes. I gave her a cheat sheet for each. We also reviewed the rules for division by fractions."

"The student and I worked on grammar and vocabulary. We began our grammar study with a comma review. She is progressing, but sometimes mixes up the rules even when the exercise was compartmentalized by rule. We'll continue to work on this. She is also making progress with apostrophes. She correctly punctuated about 3/4 of the sentences she edited. Throughout our session, we reviewed the vocabulary from last week. At the beginning of our time, she demonstrated familiarity with 5/10 of the review words. We practiced several times, and she was able to describe and use all ten by the end of our session. I encouraged her to use this review strategy on her own. "

"The student went over reading comprehension. I will work on him finding main idea and theme in passages by having him explain what each sentence is conveying. I had him read the questions first so he knows what to look for when he is reading. He needed help with subtracting single digits by teens without using his fingers. I showed him a couple of tricks to help him work faster. He did a great job retaining information."

"The student and I worked on measurement today. We first discussed how to determine the length of lines and items and practiced using a ruler. We then worked on her math homework - focusing in particular on how to convert measurements. She did a very good job with this when she was drawing pictures of the problems. "
