Helping my peers became a way for me to solidify my understanding of topics. I have found that I enjoy explaining things to others as much as I love learning about the material in the first place. I also discovered that the best way to explain topics is to break...

The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!)...

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
We edited the essay that we drafted last week. We did some general editing and then focused in on one paragraph specifically. For Wednesday she will go back over the essay and start to implement the changes in the other paragraphs.

Today the student and I reviewed his last English and Science sections and then more math problems. He is going to take one more full length practice ACT before next week and then we'll have one last day to review anything he wants to next week. He has increased his overall score to a 24 (yay!) and I think it could go up even higher than that. He does well with math, but still needs to review the skills that he has learned in his previous classes.

Getting to know you (family, schedules, availability, expectations, etc.): Completed a session with the student to better understand what she has covered and what her ability level is. Did a few practice problems from the math practice exam for assessment, as well as reviewing the formula reference sheet. Completed a short sample from the reading practice exam and answered a few questions. We discussed books she has read for leisure and school in order for me to gain some ideas for creating constructed response practice questions.

Discussed acid-base equilibrium problems with the student that were assigned from her text book. We looked at the same packet from her teacher as mentioned prior and she completed all the problems her teacher had recommended for that chapter. Also looked at worksheets from class to review problems she did not understand. Overall, after two lessons on acid/base equilibrium/buffers/solubility, we have covered a range of problems and she is ready to focus on the next section.

During today's session we continued going over the diagnostic test. We spent a lot of time on science, as that was the student's weakest section. We began discussing ways in which the student can work on determining the answer with more efficiency so she has a chance to answer all of the questions.
