"We worked in question sentence structure. We practiced reading texts, and asking questions about the text. We went over the use of "do" "does", and main verb structure. The student got better as the session progressed, but still needs more practice. I left a text for her to read, and come up with 10 questions to go over them in the next session. We are still working in the use of "the" "a", and "an" as well. The student is enjoying the lessons, and feels she has gotten much better, and her friends can understand her better when she speaks."

"I gave the student a pre-test to see what the problem areas are. Then, we proceeded to go over his homework, and I observed that the student didn't understand the reading material, so we read it aloud and annotated the articles. This seemed to work for comprehension, and he was able to answer the multiple choice and short answer questions better. I told him that when he reads a piece he should ask questions."

"We concentrated on practicing math for the ACT. We went through an entire Math practice test problem by problem. The student did a good job with problems at the beginning of the test, and even as we continued to the harder problems he was doing well. We took some more time to cover some of the complicated algebra problems on the test which led to some good practice/lessons for Algebra II."

"Today we worked through a few problems involving the transformation mapping of one vector to another using the transformation matrix A. We went over the new terminology and compared it to the function notation with which he is already familiar. We also reviewed some properties of diagonal matrices and the identity matrix, especially as we used its columns in the transformation linear equations."

"During this session, we focused on completing math activities from the student's SAT prep book. I did not see any scores this time with the student. The student struggled mainly with word problems. She got a few questions wrong because she did not read the question closely enough. She also struggles with her mental math facts. We will continue to work on mental math fluency as our lessons progress. In our next session, we are going to focus mainly on word problems from her SAT prep book and problems that I prepare for her in advance of the lesson."

"After having worked with this student a few times, I am now have a good sense on where his strengths are in writing and what areas we can improve on. I thought it would be a good idea for him to think about what his goals are, what he would like to work on in our sessions so that he can begin to take ownership of this process. We talked for a long time and I was able to draw out from him some concrete learning goals. These goals included: 1. Learning how to be a more analytical writer who can creatively come up with sound arguments 2. Organizing his ideas to fit the objectives of an assignment 3. Learning how to be a more selective reader Using an essay he wrote earlier this semester, we worked on these areas and I will continue to provide him with exercises that will allow him to practice these skills. Applying these skills to his own work, I think (and hope) really made the skills more tangible. I think we a had a kind of breakthrough moment actually! "

"The student and I worked on a homework assignment that is also a review for his quiz tomorrow. The topic of the quiz and the homework assignment is calculating the area of various polygons. The session went well. I think that he appreciates the visual aspect of the material."

"Today's session focused on the student's museum exhibit assignment, which I found fascinating. The assignment was to visit a museum and critique one of the exhibits on a cultural and historical basis. The student went to the African art museum, which was good because she'd just read an article about problems in presenting Africa as a single subject. With this knowledge combined with her art background, she could find quite a number of flaws in the museum's presentation. Her main concerns were how to organize her thoughts, and how far she could go in critiquing the exhibit. She also showed me numerous pictures from the exhibit, and so I was able to see what she was talking about and make a few observations myself, mostly about the picture captions. I helped her settle on an organizational model and suggested an approach for handling her criticisms. "

"Student is getting much better at distinguishing different sounds and putting them in the proper order. Today it only took him a few tries before he correctly organized the "p" "a" and "t" into "pat" and "tap". He's also getting very fast with his ability to recognize different letters, and he's remembering most of the letters on his own in the alphabet. "

"I started with Student 1, and we completed a review packet on transformational geometry to go over what we talked about last session. She has memorized the rules since then and seems to understand it much better. She slowed down and focused; she did great! We then went over her online review so I could help her with the ones she did not understand the first time. We cleared up her confusion. With Student 2, when I gave her more challenging problems and made her see how fast she could do them, she seemed more interested. I think the work is too easy for her and she is bored. I will make sure to bring more challenging work for Monday so she stays focused."

"The student worked on his homework, which included filling in sentences with sight words. We focused on the "ee" sound and prepositions. We also read three mini books. We chose one for Wednesday ("The Sled"), and went over the spelling of words in the book. We also did some basic addition and subtraction using drawings. We practiced writing out numbers 1-10."
