"The student and I spent today reviewing quadratics, specifically factoring and using the quadratic formula. We seem to need to spend more time on these since he's having trouble retaining the techniques for solving them, but showed marked improvement by the end of the session. His parent both filled me in on the huge improvement he made on the retake of his math placement exam: went from an 18 to a 28 (scale unknown) and got placed in a higher level math class, which is absolutely spectacular. "

"We talked about strategies for completing the science section of the ACT faster, including going directly to the questions. We then practiced this. We also talked about how to use native speaker abilities to approach the English portion of the test. We completed two passages and went over them, talking about why the correct answer is correct on missed questions. We discussed the contractions "you're," "it's," and "they're." "

"The student and I went over some hand-picked problems from his previous tests for about 10 minutes. I did this just to get a good idea of where he was at. He seemed to have a difficulty understanding sample population parameters and populations parameters, so I helped explained the differences to him using real-life examples. Then, we went over his test prep review, going over normal distribution, calculating mean, median, mode, and going over the normal distribution table. Basic algebra concepts were reviewed, like solving for x, because they were incorporated into the material."

"Reviewed the Reading Comprehension and Sentence Completion sections of the test. Introduced new vocabulary and recommended that student study vocabulary words between sessions by making notecards. Discussed strategies for answering different types of reading comprehension questions. Assigned student work for next session. Briefly addressed some questions about mathematics."

"We started review for his upcoming test. We went over two questions on an old exam. We covered conservation of momentum and conservation of momentum, and reviewed some older material with forces and kinematic equations. We also discussed test taking strategies and skills."

"The student and I spent our first session reviewing material from her past unit. We reviewed several questions from homework assignments that the student struggled with in the past. We discussed momentum, acceleration, energy conservation, force, and unit conversions. By the end of the session the student seemed much more confident. She was enjoying explaining how to work through problems we confronted. The student struggled the most when translating the conceptual ideas into math equations. Reiterating what each variable means and how they relate to each other will help her in the long run. "

"Since the student is interested in learning conversational Spanish, we started with the basics of introducing oneself and saying goodbye in Spanish. We used materials that I brought, and I left her with a few sheets of paper that we created during the session that outlined what we had learned in the session."

"In the session today with the student, we covered new concepts that his teacher introduced and the ones that he will be tested on in his next exam. We specifically looked into the concepts of thermochemistry and kinetics. The student did not have any problem understanding the concepts and quickly picked up the ones that he had missed from class. During this session, we also covered several questions from his past exams that he seemed to have had trouble with and tried to further clarify some concepts in order to prepare him for his final exam."

"SAT: Created a vocab list from the questions from the first two sections of the first practice test. Completed the passage-based reading questions for the first two sections of the first test. "

"The student and I reviewed his math homework, which was on the slope-intercept equation of a line. I also taught him two methods for calculating the slope of a line. He seems very confident in the current coursework."

"Our best session yet! We focused on the student's harder reading assignment (which has follow-up questions so she has to focus on comprehension), and I brought some word games that I had made to practice contractions. I've found that while she doesn't like to do one thing for too long (ex. reading 2 books in a row), she's happy to play educational "games" that keep the learning going throughout the session. Again, we came up against her lack of confidence when it comes to "hard" assignments or chapter books. But once we dive into them she does a great job! "

"The student practiced what he learned about right triangles during the first part of our time together. In addition to going over the new material that we covered together over the past two weeks, we also worked through some practice problems based on a challenge question he was given on a recent test. For the second part of our time, we reviewed ratios, which is his current unit in school. The student was adept at solving even the more difficult ratio questions. "
