Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
The student and I did a flashcard review. Her only true problem was in differentiating between when and went (in how it sounds and how it is spelled). We then read book 7 in the series and she did exceptionally well, wanting to read the book again. We finished with a spelling exercise in which she did quite well too, taking her time sounding things out.

Worked on review of the Pythagorean theorem, 60-30-90 and 45-45-90 degree theorems. We also covered a small amount of trigonometry. She had a positive attitude about the review on the theorems. I included some strategies for trig, like SOHCAHTOA and graphing triangles. I left her with some notes about trig we will revisit next week, and she is focusing on the curriculum for her upcoming test.
