"Today, the student did 60 minutes of math work (a homework page plus review problems from her old quizzes). For the last 30 minutes, we worked on the final needs of her state project--the Triorama! We identified missing pieces of information that she wanted to print later that night. I hope she did well during the presentation--she was excited!"

"The student and I did review of both Algebra and Latin, working on specific questions/problems she had. We got through all of her questions, and she seemed confident and prepared with the rest of material. It was really good that she had specific issues ready for me so we were able to spend enough time on each question to make sure she understood each specific problem as well as the more general concepts. "

"The student and I met today for the first time and reviewed Geometry, specifically the SAS, SSS, and ASA theorems. We also began an outline for her history material. This session only lasted an hour. She is very smart and a pleasure to work with."

"We reviewed the general concepts and strategies for test-taking during the first half of our session. We then focused on math, as this is where she indicated her greatest uncertainties lay. We worked primarily on balancing equations and grouping together like terms. She struggled a bit at first with the order of operations in an equation, but with practice she was able to follow the method precisely. Division involving negative numbers was confusing to her at first, but with repetition she also gained confidence in this area. Overall, it was a very successful first session. I enjoyed meeting and working with the student. "

"Discussed and reviewed a practice test I had provided to the student in our last lesson, covering various mathematical concepts, ranging from geometry to algebra to word/text problems. Additional time was spent on discussing and aiding my student with areas that she is still struggling with, such as complex fractions and finding LCDs, LCMs and mastering the rules of operations and mathematical signs"

"Discussed consumer demand including the Law of Demand, substitutes and complements, concavity, and income and substitution effects. Justified convexity assumptions in indifference curves and budget constraints. Derived linear forms of budget constraint and market demand from sample data."

"This was my last SAT prep session with the student as he is taking the test on Saturday (we'll work on the ACT next week). Since we had reviewed his practice test already, we turned to another practice test in the book and worked through a series of questions together. As we reviewed the material, I noted certain rules and tips that might help him remember information or narrow down the answers."

"This session was split in half for SAT prep and French. We started by learning some vocabulary words, memory tricks to make meaning stick, and doing practice sections for reading comprehension. We reviewed time management strategies, and how to pick the "best answer" on ambiguous questions. For French, we reviewed the pronunciation of "oin" and the phrase "ce que" (that which), on its own as well as in questions. We practiced listening comprehension, where we would have a conversation and she would try to say back to me what I just said to her. "

"The student took a quiz reviewing what we went over the previous week. Then we continued reviewing characters from the current chapter, as well as new vocabulary assigned this week. The last half hour of the session was spent working on a project assigned by his Chinese instructor. Next week he will have another quiz that covered this week's material. "

"This session was on 3/20. We reviewed all of the homework that I had given the student which consisted of more practice of the preterite and imperfect verb tenses, use of the present and past progressive, and use of direct object pronouns. After we reviewed all of that, we read a passage from the book together out loud, and then went back and made sure that she understood the gist of the passage. After that, we went back to working on direct object pronouns and I also introduced indirect object pronouns to her as well. I left her with some homework to do, which included work on both the indirect and direct object pronouns."

"The student completed the 10th and final practice test from the test prep book and scored about a 1900. He has made tremendous progress with his essay and the writing section overall. Reading continues to be his lowest score, while math continues to be his highest. Today's focus was on reviewing old math questions because we believe he can score mid 700s to 800 with a little extra practice. His increased familiarity with the testing format and the types of math questions led him to new-found success."
