Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"Today was our first session. The majority of time was spent doing diagnostic work, where we discovered that in math, the student is functioning at a 7th-grade standards level, with some more significant needs in operations with fractions and with algebraic expressions. I will also need to probe more into geometry, since the diagnostic only had one question on this, and he did not get this correct. In reading, we did a Lexile analysis and determined that his ability to identify details is strong up until about a level of 1000. Next time, we will work on fractions, with an emphasis on understanding fractional multiplication and division. We will also work on main idea and details as well as the tone of Lexile level 1000 materials. We will wrap up by discussing strategy for the assessment test."

"Today, the student and I went over lesson 24. We started with our normal warm-up conversation, and we are regularly switching back and forth between different tenses. He is doing a great job responding with the correct conjugation. We focused the rest of the lesson on lots of conjugation review, story-telling, and translation exercises. Additionally, we introduced new vocabulary during our conversation. He did very well during our lesson today; we use very little English except for clarification purposes, and he continues to improve with his conjugation accuracy. "

"We covered graphing inequalities and introduced factoring quadratic equations. The student was much more enthusiastic and confident during the session compared to the first session. "

"We worked on the student's math study guide and tried to understand the concepts that were going to be on his test. He is a smart kid but needs to focus on slowing down and taking his time in writing clearly because sometimes the right answer evades him even though he did all the work."

"Today was my first session with the student, and we did test corrections on his last Algebra 2 test. This covered topics like domain and range given points, definitions of a function, finding x- and y-intercepts, graphing linear equations, writing equations given various information, parallel and perpendicular lines, and graphing inequalities."

"Used word problems in the session. Had student create a drawing to solve each problem. We went slowly, but the student was able to think on her own about how the problem should be solved. Also the student could see her results in a diagram. Next week I will work on having the student connect the math sentences to sensible, real life situations."

"We continue to work on letter and number (out of order) recognition, tracing and writing; tracing and writing first and last name, and sight words. We use tracing, completion of printouts, and games. I am tutoring her using the same procedures as a kindergarten classroom. We again went into more detail in sight words and phonic sounds. We also played the game "Teach Me Teach You" with the goal that she was to teach me everything I taught her. Our subject was letter recognition and letter signs. She did a wonderful job! We will be using that method for math and reading."

"We covered a projectile problem (#34), a river boat problem/vector problem (#57), and a projectile frame of reference problem (#55). The student understands the process of resolving velocity into x and y components now, but can use more practice."

"In this session, we created a curriculum for both girls. Student 1 will be doing a quick review of Algebra, followed by Geometry to prepare for her freshman year. Student 2 will be doing Pre-Algebra. Both girls were taught the introduction of Algebra, which defined all the types of numbers. Student 1 went on to learn about the difference between rational and irrational numbers, while Student 2 was taught exponent operations."

"Today the student worked on place value - groups of tens to show the tens place and groups of ones for the ones place. This concept was illustrated with butterflies, and then with ten blocks. We also worked on tens place only for multiples of 10. She used her big whiteboard and wrote everything down in steps. At first, she was still counting on fingers and toes, but by the end of the session, she knew it and did not need to use her fingers and toes! We then looked at the value of coins. She does know the coins fairly well, but we will still continue looking at this. I gave her several pages of homework dealing with place value of tens and ones. She is always a happy and eager learner!"

"We covered ACT Writing and the student did excellent. I have given him a lot of strategy tips and he appears to be putting them to use."
