About Oak Park
Oak Park, Illinois, is just to the west of Chicago and served by the city's public transportation system. It is known for famous residents, including Ernest Hemingway, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Betty White. The area was settled in the 1830s and grew rapidly following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, with residents looking for a place to live. Although officially labeled a "village," Oak Park has an active arts district and is home to many theater companies. It's just seven miles from downtown Chicago.
The Oak Park Elementary School District operates a number of primary and middle schools. Oak Park and River Forest High School is located within the village limits and has honored many alumni with the Tradition of Excellence Award. The high school is just one of seven schools in the state that inducts students into the Cum Laude Society. Fenwick High School, a Catholic college preparatory institution, is in Oak Park as well.

"Today we studied for the student's English and Science exams, did his math homework, and did his French homework. He concentrated very well, and is well-prepared for both exams. He also told me that he received a 106 on the Math test that we studied for last week. That will raise his Math grade. I am looking forward to seeing continued progress!"

"Basic introduction to what progress the student made last year, what she is studying, what reading she does on her own, her interests, what subjects are easy for her, how she learns best, in what subjects she may need help. After this talking-through introduction, I had her do her homework for me out loud, saying what she was thinking and how she would answer each question. I then worked with her on three main strategies to use when answering questions in the math textbook: 1) using key words in the question to find the answers in the text, including previous chapters; 2) ensuring that answers corresponding to graphs always include information about the y-axis, the x-axis, and the unit; 3) using synonyms from key words in the question when answering the question, to better show the teacher she understand what the question is asking."

"Today we worked on finishing up the questions at the end of chapter two, including questions on frictional forces on an inclined plane and concepts related to tension, and then also finishing chapter three. We worked a lot on torque problems and reviewed how to choose the point of rotation, how to calculate torque, and how to balance the clockwise and counter clockwise forces. We also reviewed the difference between dynamic and static equilibrium and emphasized Newton's second law which states that there must be a net force for an object to accelerate. We reviewed concepts of energy, including spring and gravitational potential and as well as several equations used to calculate work."
