"Today the student and I discussed the use of accents. Her Spanish class this coming year includes a great deal of written Spanish communication and accents are important. We talked about the rules for use of accents and difference of meaning with words that feature both no accent and an accent. I gave her some practice activities. After this we had a short (8-minute) conversation in Spanish. The student needs to give presentations in class next year and it is a major goal to increase her speaking abilities. "

"Student has great interest in Chinese language and culture. He is highly motivated to learn Chinese. I understand the student's need, and will evaluate his skills and introduce simple Chinese greeting words and the Chinese speaking/writing system. "

"In our last session, I started the student off with a leisure book that she read independently as I listened to her read at a whisper. I intervened when needed such as when she got stuck at a word and showed her strategies such as skipping the word and reading on for clues or looking at pictures for assistant. Frequently, I would stop and ask her to retell me the story and asked her comprehension questions to see if she understood what she was reading. In preparation for her exam, we read a passage together and I had her write a summary for each paragraph that she read. Together, we worked on answering questions and I had her referring back to the notes she took for help. I reminded her of good reading strategies such as rereading the sentence whenever she got stuck at a word and making sure to have a visual or an image before moving on to the next sentence. "

"1. Reviewed quadrilaterals. 2. Helped the student review angles created by transversals in the context of parallel lines: alternate interior/exterior angles. 3. Reviewed right triangles and Pythagorean Theorem 4. Using a Geometry review sheet on circles: (a) reviewed the ratios of arcs to their inscribed vertex ratio (b) intersecting chords and the relationship between verticals angles created and their corresponding arcs. Assigned the student a problem-set as extended practice in order to better prepare him for an upcoming Geometry exam."

"Covered topics involving square roots and radicals. We covered simplifying radicals and properties of radicals. We covered several problems from the student's homework. When we finished he had a much better understanding of the material. "

"Today the student and I went over her math problems that she did for homework. We also went over her sentences that she did for homework. I gave her more words to define before our next meeting. She is going to continue writing sentences for all the words. We discussed strategies for the math, synonym, and analogy sections of the test. We also went into detail about the relationships to identify on the analogy part of the test. She created her own examples for each kind of relationship that is found on the analogy part of the test. We will continue working on the verbal section of the test during our next meeting."

"Met with the student today and we went over some new math problems. They were all probability related and she only had a brief introduction to them so I spent a lot of time explaining the ideas behind them. We did independent probability, combinations, permutations, measures of central tendency and distributions. She should be able to answer them now."

"The student worked on his homework. He wrote a story based on a picture working on creating a strong beginning, middle and end. The student also read a story and answered questions about it. We worked on fast math facts and shapes. "

"The student and I had such fun playing with and solving geometry problems using AA, ASA and proportion to solve similar triangle proofs and applications. I mentioned that I would love to tutor him through Algebra 2 and then pre-calculus, as we would have such a good time and learn from each other."

"Today we began with a science practice section. The student did very well, scoring the equivalent of a 34 on that section. Next he did a math practice section, which he finished 15 minutes early. He spent 5 minutes going back over problems that he felt he had missed and was able to change one question to the right answer. He had taken more time at the beginning of the test and this seems to have paid off as his overall score came out at least a 32."

"On Friday, I administered a practice exam for the student. My format was similar to his first and second exams (true/false, matching, essay questions, and diagrams). He did quite well, and I also gave him the key so that he might study the material in a format that might better reflect what he might encounter during the final."

"Today we corrected the student's writing homework. He wrote 16 sentences using phrases I supplied, seeing if he could fit them into his own context. He did a good job. Next we read a long time in his novel, learning new words as we read, but also stopping to show the sentence structure, and to give counterexamples of how the sentences could have been written differently. Sometimes these other ways of writing did not change the meaning; sometimes there was a subtle difference which suggested the writer was trying to create a different tone or nuance; sometimes we gave examples that completely changed the point of view or meaning. I am trying to make him get more out of his reading, and I showed him books my son had just checked out from the library so he could see that there are books about things he would like that are also at just the right level to help him develop."
