"The student and I met for our first ACT session. We went over Math and Science strategies extensively to allow her to be able to complete practice sections while implementing the proper test-taking techniques. We did three Science passages and most of one Math section together. We will meet again on Tuesday."

"Today I had the student take 2 timed math tests. We simulated it just like it would be on the day of his exam. We also went through each problem afterwards, both correct and incorrect, to make sure he understood how to think through the problems."

"Client had questions on her previous biology exam and wanted to go over things that she had gotten wrong. After we had gone over her biology questions, we revised her biology lab report that she will submit for a regrade. We scheduled another session for the weekend, however since the client does not have any more questions at the time, we have decided to meet a later time. "

"We did 2 math practice sections and went over the answers and ones he missed. I have been drilling him with percentages, fractions and algebra solving. Just need to keep the pace high and make sure he works on his time. I need to work with him in the coming week on getting the right answer and moving on without solving to the end. He is progressing well. He made a 76% and an 81%. "

"We focused on fact families, factors, and using both in word problems. The student is on target with fact families. We spent the most time determining different way to identify factors of various numbers. We practiced creating "Factor Trees". She really seemed to grasp this concept as it mainly encompasses multiplication skills. We reviewed units of time and length. "

"The student and I had a very good, productive session. We worked on reading comprehension to begin, and used some of the information from reading (e.g., establishing a main idea) to inform writing strategies. We then did a shark fact writing exercise. He selected facts about sharks and then used them to create a cohesive paragraph. We worked on making sure that he communicates a clear idea in his writing (e.g., clear message, introduction, conclusion, etc.). We did some more reading comprehension to end. He showed me his final project that he began working on last week. He did very well!"

"The student and I met to review for the standardized test this week. We worked on a practice test together and I feel the student would benefit from more review on basic principle of chemistry and biology. We talked about a lot of common themes I expect that she will encounter. "

"The student and I discussed the homework on pp. 72 and 73. He is working on identifying linear functions, graphing linear functions, finding the y-intercept and x-intercept, putting equations in y = mx + b format, and identifying A, B, and C. He has a quiz tomorrow, and I was uneasy about his understanding of the concepts. However, I quizzed him briefly and his understanding was greater than I thought. We reviewed briefly each topic above. "

"Continued practice with percentages, word problems, multiplication tables, and setting up algebraic expressions. Fundamentals are getting stronger, including checking work and confirming what the problem is asking for before and after solving. Will continue working through the practice exam next week."

"Today we covered word problems that had to be translated into both algebraic and graphical inequality representations. We worked on setting these up, as well as the algebraic manipulation required to solve them. After working through a few, the student has started picking up on the routine methods we have been using to solve these. "

"I continued working with the student on his 'How it feels to be absent-minded me' essay. He had completed minimal work on the essay since we last met. He and I continued brainstorming for his third and fourth paragraphs. He struggled most with organizing and clearly communicating his thoughts in an assignment with limited directions. He swung between minimal structure (run on sentences, confusing wording, etc.) and minimal creativity (stagnant sentences and misused vocabulary). I focused primarily on reeling him back from each extreme, to create a balanced and consistent voice through the essay. I left him with the assignment to mail me his final draft before he submits it, since I had spotted some simple grammatical issues I wanted to correct (the session began quite late, and household was preparing for sleep).
