He then read two passages and answered the questions which followed. We also worked on grammar, which included prepositions. He did some writing about the places of interest a tourist should visit when in Beijing. We will be meeting again on Thursday.

We covered vocabulary and reading comprehension. The student did very well, as we have done this before. We tried skimming the article this time first then trying to answer the questions. Previously we tried reading it fully then answering and reading the questions and skimming for the answers. Both skimming techniques work better than reading fully. There was progression with the practice I assigned, but she will try to adhere to the amount of practice I suggested this week.

We ended the session going over implicit differentiation and identifying when/how to use it. The student takes the exam on Monday.

I met with the student to continue reviewing for his final test on Tuesday. He felt confident about all of the problems except for the ones involving radicals and complicated exponent problems. We went over solving radical expressions, rationalizing the denominator, and converting between radical and exponent form. Once we had finished this portion of the review, he asked to go over the Pythagorean Theorem and the distance formula. We finished the review session by going over the composition of functions. He also reported that he had received a 90% on his last quiz.
