Session Summaries by Tutors

The student did not have his Latin book today, but he did receive one quiz back last week. We went over that in detail and it did give me a much better idea of where he is struggling, and that is with verbs - mostly when to use subjunctive and when to use indicative. I am working on a handout of the subjunctive. I'm hoping next week he will have his book and some more quizzes. I am also going to bring some past national exams, since his exam is coming up for him. Those are definitely more fun, so that will be a nice change of pace from his usual homework.

The student and I went over his most recent practice tests, talked about the best ways to make his science content review give the highest possible yield before the test, and fine-tuned the verbal strategies we'd already discussed. We talked about integrating the other verbal strategies by reading for coherence - assuming the passage author introduces certain points or examples at certain times for specific reasons; making sure the answers to questions are mutually compatible; deciding between two true answers by picking the one that specifically answers the question and conforms to a coherent reading of the passage.

The student and I met and she wanted to mainly work on Reading, which is her weakest section, and get some more Science practice. We worked on a prose fiction passage and talked specifically about how to find the right answer when the passage is a little more interpretive and how some answers sound good but aren't in the passage. We also worked on multiple Science passages, still working on where to find information and how to make sure you are comfortable with it before you start answering questions.

During our Spanish session for the week, the student and I mostly practiced and reviewed what we have been working on the past few weeks. We began with reviewing the names and spellings of the names of months in Spanish. We then moved on to reviewing the names of animals; she is definitely improving after our practice. We then did a couple activities with numbers, and finished with a review of clothing.

The student's Science Fair Report is complete aside from adding finishing touches and looking it over once more with her example packet to see that it has everything in it that it needs. She brought her science fair board home so we will most likely work on that on Monday.

Mathematically, he knows most of it. But the SAT is tricky. He makes minor mistakes. Like, he finds the value of y, but the problem is asking for the value of x. When he's doing the problems, he should be constantly asking himself, "did I make a mistake?" The SAT is tricky and a certain amount of paranoia is necessary for attacking the problems. For the verbal section, his reading comprehension is fine. The The difference between the two of us is that my vocabulary is a lot larger than his, which also accounts for the score difference.
