"Today I worked with the student during her last session to prepare her for her reading and math assessment test tomorrow. We did some practice problems out of the reading assessment practice book and played a math game, involving the concepts she will see on her test tomorrow."

"It was a pretty good first session. We started working on his new physics material, but abandoned that after a few problems, because he understands the material adequately. Instead we worked on the difficult problems from his previous test and set up the 2-d kinematic problems. I think he is getting it better, but I think he should still practice some more before he will have the material mastered."

"Discussed shall vs. will and other similar words briefly and the student did his worksheets over the 1st and 3rd set of Phrasal Verbs. Went over the Basic Spelling handout I made for him. Discussed differences between American and Russian cultures and other cultures as well as the differences and similarities in how we express ourselves in those various cultures. "

"At the start of this session I reviewed the Pinyin Romanization system that I had taught the student during the first session. Then I introduced Chinese characters to him and gave him a few to learn for homework. We also went over the vocabulary he learned the first time, and I gave him some more words to practice."

"The student and I met again for an hour to specifically review math and to discuss strategies for taking the ISEE. We reviewed integers, fractions/decimals/percents, exponents/squares, order of operations, and solving algebraic equations. She seemed familiar with most of the material presented. She was attentive and asked questions about concepts she did not understand. We plan to meet again next Tuesday."

"We continued to work through the reading/writing sections in the SAT prep book, and the student is showing great progress with the multiple choice questions. As his vocabulary continues to improve, so will his scores. I also went over an essay that he wrote in response to a sample SAT prompt. The structure of his essay is good, but I would still like him to better support his arguments by using real-life experiences and examples. This week the student will be writing an essay on how violent video games might affect people's behavior in real life. I think this will be a good subject because video games are one of his main interests."

"Today we covered basic test strategies, test format, and touched on all of the sections except math. I wanted to get a feel for the student's strengths. We will cover math in more depth next time. The student is obviously very sharp, and I believe the biggest benefit to her will be simply familiarizing herself with the types of test questions. She is very good at asking appropriate questions and self-evaluating. "

"We went over The Working Cell, including membranes, passive and active transport, osmosis, water balance, transport proteins, cells and energy usage, exocytosis endocytosis, chemical reactions, ATP, and enzymes."

"In yesterday's session, I helped the student with several questions for her oral examination. Some of those questions were about present, past, and future tense. We are going to finish them tomorrow, as for now, she is studying for her next test. "

"I talked with the student about a wide range of possible solutions to his problems. In the end, I told him that I felt his papers were excellently written, meticulously researched, and we discussed the possibility of him talking personally with his professor about the possibility of more 'political' solutions to the problem. In other words, I feel he needs to reach out and talk to his teacher personally and try and be friendly with her. "

"The student is really adept at making predictions before looking at answer choices. Her skills in math are especially very strong, and she is quick to think of useful applications of rules that will help find the correct answer. In sentence completion questions, she is able to make successful educated guesses through process of elimination, even when she does not know all of the words in the answer choices. In writing, we brushed up on a few grammar rules that will help her weed out wrong answers. She is usually good at eliminating down to two or three. We will continue next session with passage-based reading, her self-identified weakness, and make an overview of all question types across all subjects. "
