"Today the student and I spent most of the time going over some practice tests she had recently taken. We wanted to assess where we were at so we can plan for the next month. Starting next session (Tuesday), we are going to continue on with science, then tackle reading."

"The student was just beginning the chapter on polygons, so we started with several definitions including the definition of a polygon, a regular polygon, convex and concave polygons. We then started with two theorems including the sum of the interior angles is (n-2)*180 and the sum of the exterior angles is 360. We worked on several problems using these to theorems and information from given drawings, including solving the measure of each of the angles. "

"We discussed possible scheduling for summer and plans for summer reading and academic schedules. We discussed final exams. We did a practice SAT essay and practice brainstorming for an ACT essay."

"The student and I met from 5:35 to 7:05. The objective was to review for the Algebra final exam. First we worked on an overdue worksheet that he had not completed. We wanted to make sure to replace the three zeros that he had for his daily grades. After completing those three assignments we were able to work on the final exam review. We worked on factoring of polynomials, multiplying polynomials, solving systems of equations, graphing of functions, evaluating functions, and changing a function from standard form to y-intercept form and identifying the slope and y-intercept. I believe he will do well on his final by completing his review and studying over it."

"Today we discussed a lot of pre calc, using the unit circle to find certain angles and the radius of a circle using sin, cos, sec, csc, tan, and cot. He did an awesome job."

"The student continues to work hard and to improve in her confidence. Together we are strategizing about which problems to skip and which to save for the end if she has time -- using "now, later, never". We have 2 sessions left, and we will continue to practice as many different types of problems as possible."

"Tonight we discussed the Biological Sciences and Physical Sciences sections of the test the student recently took. She scored quite well on both sections, but she had some questions she wanted to go over. There were a few organic chemistry questions regarding reactivity that we discussed, and, upon further explanation, she understood. She also needed some review of axial and equatorial positioning for cyclohexanes. I urged her to draw the structures and not make "educated guesses" or assume that large substituents must be equatorial. For Physical Sciences, her questions were variegated in nature, but we touched on periodicity, molar solubility, and pressure. Once we went through the questions, she certainly understood, and I don't think there were any concepts she was weak in per say."

"During my session with the student today, he and I continued to review critical thinking, reading, and writing. The student expressed that he felt comfortable with the Math, but we reviewed one section of math near the end of the session for a change of pace. The student is improving his critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. We will continue to work on test taking strategies during our next session. "

"The student has been having some trouble with timed tests in school. So, we started with flashcards. Right off the bat in a 3 minute time period (same as at school) she got twice as many problems correct. She thought the test at school may have been harder so I compared them and found that they were the same/similar ones to what she had just done with the flashcards! We talked about test anxiety and then she took a written timed test. Then we talked about skipping around for the ones you know right off the top of your head. We talked about different types of strategies for how to take a timed test and she seemed much more confident by the time we were done! "

"Today was my last session with the student for the week. Therefore, we pushed hard through our flashcards today, to get as many verbs in his brain before the weekend. He responded well to the high expectations, and is doing well. He can currently define and conjugate (in the present tense) 50 verbs from my "100 most common verbs" list. We also covered a few regional idioms, as well as general bits of Spanish that are helpful when travelling. "

" Last Saturday, I was able to work with the student again on college essays. He did his own note-taking this time, and then he wrote his draft. We did two rounds of revisions, taking a 300 words essay to 150 words, which made it clear and concise, while still maintaining his budding style. Great session!"
