"Today we finished the reading comprehension section, checked over the student's second practice test and worked on word problems for math. She did really well on her practice exam. "

"Today we reviewed some material in preparation for his lab final. We reviewed several different mechanisms and properties of different lab practices. He seemed assured that he would do well and I have every faith that he will."

"The student and I met an extra time this week. We split the session about half and half between Math practice and Critical Reading practice. It really seems like she is making progress on both of those sections. We will meet three times again next week."

"The student and I began this session by going over the question types on the ACT Reading test and skimming strategies to help improve her time management and answer research skills. We then worked through two passages, the "prose fiction" and "humanities" passages, together. She did very well with the questions on the fiction passage, but she faltered on some of the humanities questions. We wrapped up by taking a brief look at some trigonometry homework over graphing trigonometric equations and applying inverse trig functions. Next time, we will do some more ACT Reading work and try to wrap everything up for the test date."

"Worked on each of the four sections on Middle East guide. Built on Economics and Oil outline, found sources for this section, built paragraphs around findings. Reviewed summaries on each of the 9 topic areas for the History Final. Research additional citations for support of each argument. Edited politics paper and completed revisions. "

"Administered appropriate level practice exams to students. Discussed previous ISEE studying with students. Evaluated students' strengths and areas for improvement. Discussed general concepts of student errors on practice exams. Created vocabulary list for each student for next week's quiz. "

"I brought the student a new test prep book and had marked with notes graphs, examples, and practice problems that might help her. She will look over the new book before our next session. In addition, she will finish the final chapters, in whichever book she prefers. We discussed phase changes, focusing on graphs, and acids and bases. In addition, we practiced predicting reactions. She is always a pleasure to work with. We discussed how she could use her AP Chemistry book for examples, but that it would be in greater detail than the SAT. "

"The student and I started as usual by going over the questions she answered on the article I left with her on the War on Christmas. The student is getting continually better with these questions, and her answers need less and less correction as we keep working together. This time she had a question about what to do when answering a question that you don't know much about and don't have much to say for. I told her she can always rephrase things and give examples if she feels her answers are too short. We then went over some more idioms, and I gave her a worksheet that she can look over on her own. We then read through a brief explanation of the Euro Crisis, since the student had asked me to bring her an article on that subject. I then left her an article on the most recent status of the Euro Crisis and some questions for her to answer for next time."

"We reviewed the essay, the strategy for writing the essay and some particular structures that would work well in the compressed time frame. We also did some math and vocabulary work, and I think he's making more progress and becoming more comfortable understanding his own errors. "

"In this afternoon's session, we discussed the student's online math homework assignment. The focus was factoring polynomial expressions. She struggled a little at first, and tended to mix up which numbers she had factored and which ones she hadn't. Then we worked on a more visual and concrete way to discern which terms she had already factored, and it seemed to help tremendously. She showed quite a bit of improvement over the course of the session."

"The student and I reviewed for her upcoming Algebra final exam. We practiced solving solutions of equations by elimination with adding, subtracting and multiplication and also practiced solving for the discriminant and how it is helpful in determining the number of solutions for a quadratic equation. We completed a communication worksheet that involved identifying mistakes in already solved problems and finding the correct solution. She did a good job. She completed all of her assigned homework and will either meet with me or a substitute tutor next week to continue to review for her final exam."
