"This time the student did an entire English section and discussed it afterwards. He did great on the first two passages. I assigned him another English section for homework and instructed him to complete it."

"The student and I edited his practice essay. Particularly, we worked on previewing the paper in the introduction, restating the topic to show that you understand the prompt, and focusing examples to fit the prompt. "

"The student and I covered trigonometric identities today. We did several problems from the book ranging from verifying these formulas to applying them in different situations. We then discussed some properties of triangles and how it relates to the trigonometric identities. He seems to understand what it takes to develop confidence in his abilities to solve these problems. "

"The student and I focused on essays during this session. She came with specific questions, and we brainstormed possible answers to help her grasp the concepts related to organization of issue prompts. I will prepare additional tips before our next session. The student seemed to grasp the concepts well, though she will continue to practice on her own to test her understanding. Again, the time constraints of the test are likely here biggest challenge. The student will take one or more practice tests before our next session."

"Met for the first time and while she had a lot of questions over a variety of topics, it seemed to me the best place to start was at the beginning, so we went back to the introduction of integrals. We went through Riemann sums and finding the strict definition and deriving the idea behind calculating them. She seemed to gain a lot of understanding from this, and we ended around the fundamental theorem of calculus. "

"Today the student and I continued with the reading portion of the test. She did four practice passages, and the corresponding questions. We discussed different types of problems, vocabulary, and then practiced some analogies on the test. We finished with math problems. She is going to continue studying her vocabulary at a rate of 20 words per night, and she is also going to try to complete another 20 practice math problems before our next meeting in addition to at least two reading passages. "

"We met at the cafe at the library and reviewed the course schedule for the year. We set a game plan for how we will attack the semester. We were able to review the first chapter and work through practice problems."

"Topics covered included solving a system of inequalities by graphing, stem-changing Spanish verbs, and irregular Spanish verbs. Progress achieved was a thorough understanding of how to graph an inequality and shade its regions, as well as a better understanding of how to conjugate and identify stem-changing verbs and irregular verbs."

"The student has his 6 weeks test tomorrow. We completed the practice test with very little difficulty. I quizzed him on the main things he seemed uncertain about, and he was able to answer correctly. He says he feels confident that he will do well. I gauged his confidence to be much higher than it was for the last 6 weeks test."

"Tonight I started the student off by timing her on one of the vocab sessions and she did pretty well time-wise with the strategies that we have been going over. We then moved on to quant comp questions because she had never done them before, and she got the hang of them pretty quickly. I assigned her an essay to outline for Thursday so we can start practicing the essay portion. I will also begin timing her progress on the math section on Thursday."

"The student and I had our final session, where we went over practice math, verbal, and reading problems. I timed her on all of them, and she finished in time on all of them. She did very well on the math and rocked the verbal sentence completion. I was very impressed with her reading scores as well. The quantitative reasoning section was fairly difficult, and we worked through some problems that she missed then. She also has an extra practice book that we did some problems in, although they were truthfully more high-caliber than I think will be on the test. I believe that the student will definitely reach her goals for admission. "
