Award-Winning Test Prep & Academic Tutoring in Oak Creek, WI

"After some brief introductions, I asked the student what she wanted help in and what she wanted covered for the session. She mentioned the French numbers and French vocabulary regarding the family (la famille, la soeur, etc.) were what she wanted to be tutored for the evening. We dedicated most of the session to the French numbers, a system in which she was able to get a more precise and closer look. Since her French teacher wanted the numbers 1 to 2000 covered, I divided the numbers into easier, more manageable steps for her, first starting with covering 1 to 10, and then 10 to 16, and then 17 to 20, and then 20 to 30, and 30 to 40, and so on, to the French number for 2000. Each portion of the number line had its own specific nuances, and we covered each of the numbers, practiced them by putting them in a sentence, and practiced their pronunciation till she enhanced her skill. The student was learning very quickly and was perspicacious immediately, having a correct accent after hearing the French pronunciation of each French number I provided. We covered the numbers backwards as well, which was interesting and a learning method I thought would strengthen her French numbering skills (since it's easier to say it forwards for most people). I then helped with the vocabulary associated with the family. I encouraged her to obtain the class syllabus from her teacher so we know what's coming up with tests, quizzes, assignments, and homework. Very productive first session."

"We covered some of the basics of projectile motion and worked through three problems that varied in difficulty. The student seems to have an excellent grasp of the core fundamentals, with the only thing that I can recommend at this point being that she be aware of her positive/negative signs and the directions that she assigns to them. I believe that she will do well on her exam this coming Thursday, and she should have no problems moving forward through her Physics class. The next session will be one with new material that I will work with her through, and will hopefully get a syllabus from her in the mean time to tailor the work as she progresses through the class."

"The student had a lot of Science homework; he had to reference the book to find terms to fill in the blank on a worksheet. He did a good job looking information up in the book. Working on math homework, he did a great job reasoning which numbers needed to be added or subtracted from the other. I also did a few question probes to see how he's doing with multiplication and long division. He did an awesome job on multiplication - he put all the numbers in line with each other, carried the numbers properly, and knew what to do with decimals. He was also much improved in long division. We did a problem together while referencing a model. When he did one by himself, with a few prompts from me, he was able to find the answer efficiently. My recommendation is to do 2 problems a night with a reference problem that's already filled out right next to it. He was in an excellent mood. "

"The student and I continued to work on the online exercises for the math portion of her test. Tonight, we covered part of the Geometry problems, including parallel lines and angles, right triangle applications, and squares and square roots. Some of the material was new to her, and she will continue to review the material prior to the test. Our next session, next week, should complete the Geometry section and any remaining math portions. I admire the work that she is doing in order to receive a good grade on this test!"

"We covered more of the unit circle, terminal angles and finding the coordinates for each. The student showed proficiency, and with the additional time, we went over several practice problems and skipped ahead through her chapter review, for which she also quickly showed good understanding."

"The student and I covered a lot of topics yesterday. We covered multiplying/dividing positive/negative integers, adding/subtracting positive/negative integers, inequalities with pos/neg integers, review of operations, basic long division by hand, and money. We also worked on number families to help her become more familiar with patterns among numbers, which will help her mental math with division and multiplication. Her homework was to get a very high score in a math game that tested her knowledge with money."

"The student has completed understanding and pronunciation of the most-used connecting words. It will now be about honing her reading skills as we proceed through a number of children's books. There is the need to keep her interested, so we mix it up with different types of stories, whether she is reading or I read to her. She obviously has the capabilities, as she's a very smart child. "

"We covered English, biology, math, and social studies. The student needed help with a few science concepts, and a multiple-step math problem, so we went over those in detail. She had a good attitude towards the material. I will be emailing her more practice. We talked about process of elimination and how to look at the problem to quickly solve it. She is doing pretty well."
