Award-Winning Test Prep & Academic Tutoring in International District, WA

"Today we spent the first half of our session on percents and the second half on the Colombian exchange. The student had a hard time with percents, but was able to pick it up after we worked through some sample problems together. With his history homework, he mainly needed help with the grammar of his responses. Everything is moving along swimmingly; I am happy with our progress. "

"We covered more problems on statistics and finding/using the z-score to find the probability of an event occurring given the mean and standard deviation. We spent the session going over a review worksheet the student had, and I urged him to complete it afterwards. "

"We covered SAT math, specifically working on solving equations. The student was very diligent and worked patiently after he was given procedural instruction. I taught him the strategy of looking at the slope and y-intercept to solve linear equations. He seems more motivated with our tutoring sessions with every session"

"Today we reviewed the student's summative trig test--she earned at 87%. The questions she got incorrect included minor computational errors that were avoidable with patience and deliberately checking her answers. She was also a little confused about finding the area of a triangle using trig, specifically identifying the base and height; I modeled a problem, then she performed the problem correctly. After correcting her assessment, we went into algebra (solving multi-step and rational equations) work to round out the session."

"During this session, we practiced reading, spelling, and writing. We worked on the student's fluency and reading comprehension using books sent home by her teacher, and practiced spelling and writing her current spelling words."

"Since Student 1 is currently taking the Science assessment exam, we reviewed the classification of animals. Since Student 2 is currently taking the Reading exam, we reviewed Greek and Latin Roots. We also reviewed counting money. Student 3 and I went over a fluency sight word passage. We reviewed sight word cards, fluency phrases, and her spelling homework."

"Today we talked about applications of derivatives and some basics of integrals. We found local min/max of functions and also volumes of revolution. He needed me to do an example but afterwards was able to handle the problems. "

"We worked on the student's reading phonogram: f, w, dge. We worked on vowel recognition and she did her school homework of spelling words and the Bible verse Corinthians 14:40. Her attitude was excellent. She is enthusiastic and very willing to do the work. I used a simple drawing to visually aid her learning of the use of "dge" in words. She understood it and was able to come up with the correct word, bridge. I was pleased that she was able to learn so quickly from our drawing exercise of the phonogram, and also with her ability to understand the Corinthians passage in her lesson. "
