Award-Winning Test Prep & Academic Tutoring in North Salt Lake, UT

During today's session, the student and I went over first degree polynomials and simplifying the equations.

We worked on changing decimals to fractions. We then reviewed a number of topics including addition and subtraction of large numbers, finding the perimeter of a rectangle, finding the missing term of a sequence. The session went well.

This session we began by summarizing the topics we covered yesterday. I asked the student to define specific terms for me as well as give me examples of each to clarify what he learned as well as assess whether or not he could apply the material to questions. He breezed through the material we covered yesterday; I was very impressed! After we completed the recap of the old topics, we started the practice test that his teacher had given him to help study for the final. We got more than halfway through the questions, and he only got two questions wrong. He displayed great autonomy in thinking for himself and problem solving by assessing the given answers and engaging in process of elimination to come to the right answer. On some questions, the student was able to pick the right answer right away after reading all of the choices. Today we learned the social psychology section of his study guide, and I had him fill in his study guide as we learned each term. For each term, we also went through examples so he was able to see how the concept could be applied. There were two topics with asterisks next to them, indicating a written topic that will be on the final exam. We went over the two bullet points in great detail so he is prepared to write about them on his final. He asked questions about them, too, which showed he was thinking critically as I was explaining it to him. Today was a great day. The student not only remembered and could recite the material from yesterday but also preformed well on his practice test. Furthermore, he grasped the new material very well and seemed interested in learning it and applying it to real situations which helped him to understand it. In our session tomorrow I plan on completing the first set of practice questions as well as the practice questions for the newly learned topic from today.

We pulled out and highlighted important information from her notes in preparation for her AP History test next week. We worked together to help her study. We will work on the next sections next time.

We started with science and then math. The student was able to understand what was being taught and also tried some of the techniques employed.

The student is doing amazing in her reading! She read 4 books tonight, and we did 3 workbook pages. I will begin working with her on plot, and a book report type format for her reading next week. We worked on reading comprehension and describing characters from one of her books today.
