"Today the student and I continued working to improve her reading score in preparation for the January 28th assessment test. We spent today's lesson meticulously dissecting a single real assessment test practice section, analyzing question strategies, working hard on vocabulary, and discussing tactics for short and long reading passages."

"The student needed to review her English homework involving direct quotations and reading vocabulary. She also completed a word problem worksheet involving the application of her previously learned fraction skills, and reviewed clue words for addition and subtraction."

"I gave the student a lecture on genetics and evolution for the exam. She felt better after the tutoring session. Additionally we worked on a few practice questions that would test her knowledge of the subject matter and also further familiarize her with exam-like questions. "

"We reviewed the science section that the student completed independently. We also did an English section. We then discussed some of the trickier math problems and reviewed overall strategies in preparation for the test this weekend."

"Today we figured out a study schedule for what she should be doing every day during the weeks and months leading up to her MCAT. We talked about her study materials, practice tests, past science courses, goals, and past experiences with the test itself. Also, we started reviewing key formulas for physics questions and talked about how to set up her folders, notebooks, and notecards to facilitate effective study. "

"We started today's session by focusing on the statement of cash flows. After spending the first 30 minutes on the concept, I realized that this was something the student had not yet covered in detail (but would be covering in his next class). Rather than spend the session covering a topic he would cover in detail during class, I changed focus to the income statement. We reviewed that the income statement detailed a company's net income over a period of time, and then we began going into detail regarding the various components that comprise the income statement (revenue, cost of sales, other operating expenses, gains/losses, and income tax). We then spent the rest of the session practicing how to analyze a company's activities over a period to determine their effect on the income statement and using that information to compose our own income statement."

"Talked about changes of state; explained the meaning of standard temperature and pressure with an emphasis on units; proved the units of the universal gas constant using dimensional analysis; went through practice exam for tomorrow's test. Also began working on balancing equations."

"In this session, I introduced my client to various techniques of solving limit related questions, and also went over combination of functions. I also started rate of change in terms of when a function increases and decreases. It was a very successful session."

"The student worked on his biography project. We read some books about Henry Ford and wrote answers to his questions. We also worked on his vocabulary worksheets and read a book he brought from school. I left his spelling to look over so we can go over them next time."

"Today was our last session for a few months. We reviewed everything that we've studied so far: greetings, time, days of the week, body parts, 'donde esta,' and animals. The student has improved greatly! We plan to continue at the end of October. "

"The kids and I worked on revising their resume projects for submission on Thursday. After spending some time on that, the kids and I then switched over to helping them complete and fix their presentation projects due on Thursday as well. Afterwards, I began explaining to the kids as to why it is important for them to know how to do these tasks. The resume teaches them Microsoft Word manipulation and formatting, which comes to play when I have them start typing up lab reports/code reports as to when they complete a task. The presentation is for when I have them practice pitching marketing to me the product they have programmed and why it's an effective, reliable program. This served as a segue into starting them in the first course in the K-8 Intro to Programming course set I'm having them do. These set of courses follow ISTE and CSTA standards."
