"Today the student brought in a physics assignment and trigonometry chapter review packet. We had some good discussion while doing physics side by side. He did an excellent job of explaining concepts to me. After finishing his homework, he finished his entire trigonometry review packet. I'm sure he'll do well on his test next class. "

"We reviewed for the student's test on surface areas and volumes of various shapes. We also started on her review sheet for her final. She said she felt confident about our session, especially about using the formulas correctly. I would advise her to slow down and show her work because she knows her material but may make small mistakes. "

"We continued discussing the student's practice AP exam responses, focusing on passage analysis questions. His instincts are good and his incorrect choices are more often than not plausible answers, so we discussed how to choose in questions that require considerations of degree (best, most closely, etc.). To do this, we worked on close-reading passages to determine the relationships between ideas at the level of the sentence, especially recognizing central ideas from supporting ones. Where necessary, we went over essential vocabulary. "

"It was a pleasure to meet and work with the student. She is a very diligent and enthusiastic student. She and I went over her latest pre-algebra test and wrote up her test corrections for submission. Next time, we will begin to review the earlier parts of her math curriculum this year."

"The student showed a lot of improvement during this session. She scored much better on the practice questions, especially in reading comprehension. She understands that spending a bit more time reading and understanding the text is key to being able to quickly and efficiently select the best answer choice. Her scores in the verbal portions also improved drastically due to her spending maybe a bit more time to employ problem solving strategy. I asked her how she felt about taking the test, and she seemed very confident. Slowing down just a bit to process the information helps her a lot. I am looking forward to hearing how she did! I am confident she will do quite well."

"This meeting was our last before the student takes the SSAT! She worked hard throughout. The goal was to catch a few more vocabulary words with a practice assessment in the synonyms section. The rest of the time was spent on solidifying understanding of negative numbers and operations with them then moving through as many different types of practice problems as possible. "

"Today, the student and I worked on test corrections, mean, median, mode, and range. She is doing well with taking the time to write out the process."

"We had a very productive class, indeed! Our focus (in addition to our usual book work) was numbers. Student A is fairly capable of counting to 100, but he tends to skip his 7s (17, 27, 37, etc.). We will continue to work on this. Student B was adept at reading numbers into the 1000s, so I quizzed her on still larger numbers. The matching activity I wrote up gave her some pause (i.e., matching 10,000 to ten thousand), but only for a minute, then she did well on it. All in all, I'd say it's been a successful, productive first few months."

"The student expressed some concerns about her chemistry test performance. We reviewed an email sent by the teacher that listed where she was struggling and we discussed how she could improve. She is considering doing the retest! Afterwards, we reviewed the basic theories and properties of acids and bases. This included the three major definitions of an acid and a base as well as the basic stoichiometry and reactions of acids and bases. We then started to learn about some study techniques she could use for her chemistry course. Lastly, we worked on a new study technique where she would write her own review guide."

"The student worked on fractions again today, and she is really showing confidence. A great part of this is the effort she has put into memorizing her multiplication tables. We mainly worked on greatest common factors and simplifying fractions. She also started working on order of operations and is very accurate in determining the sequence. She has shown noticeable improvement, and her teacher commented on this in a communication with her mother."

"In today's session we covered chapter 16 of the biology textbook and the student completed ~1/2 of her class worksheets. We covered the concepts of Darwinian evolution, natural selection, biological fitness, homologous structures, analogous structures, and more. She demonstrated a good understanding of the material. Next time she will complete the rest of her worksheets, including the problem set on the Hardy-Weinberg equation. "
