"More organization for the historical fiction paper, plus filling out a prep worksheet for a report based on primary sources on Cesar Chavez. Concerns as to the ultimate completion of all language arts/social study projects by the end of the year discussed w/parents. The student seems to be much more comfortable operating at his own pace, and is excellent at completing ideas orally. I've suggested that he practice by writing 10-15 minutes every day without worrying about whether or not it's on topic, to get comfortable with writing within a time limit."

"Reviewed wrong answers on the student's previous ACT practice test. Reviewed topics such as slope, equations of lines, and radicals. The student's homework is to complete the remainder of the practice test we started."

"1. Development of Ruben's essay on the construction of a stage set for his program. 2. Discussion of repetitive language. 3. Discussion of the importance of the editorial process. 4. Goal setting for future tutoring. "

"The client and I decided that an electronic tutoring session would be the best way to initiate work on her essays; because she had already completed a first draft, it was her request that I take my time to critique her writing. I wrote up a two page critique for both of her essays. Generally speaking, all of the ingredients for an exceptional essay were present, but her organization was troublesome. I gave her concrete suggestions on how to reorganize her essay to make them more effective. After she is done revising on a holistic scale, she will return her essay to me for sentence-level editing."

"Today we worked on organization for the first ten minutes, then focused entirely on the student's first lab report for Life Sciences. We went over basic scientific terms, tone, verbiage, and the entire concept of a lab report. Lab reports will become much more commonplace in his life as he advances through school, so it's important that he learn how to do them correctly and efficiently. As today's session proved, he's well on the way."

"The student and I went over the results to her previous SAT exam. We spent the majority of the time reviewing math concepts that she had trouble with. For the most part, she knows them, she just seemed to get stuck on some of the wording of the questions. We also went over her essay, which was really strong. Overall, she is doing great and is well on her way of achieving her target score on her SAT next week."

"This tutoring session covered Chapter 8 of the student's algebra textbook, sections 8-3 through 8-6. He completed homework assignments for sections 8-3 and 8-4, and we reviewed the topics, including factoring trinomials as a product of two binomials, which will be tested in class tomorrow. These two sections also required knowing how to multiply binomial expressions using the acronym FOIL. Additionally, we went ahead of class assignments and read sections 8-5 and 8-6, which expanded on factoring trinomials and factoring two binomials containing two variables. The student also began completing even-numbered problems for these two sections. "

"I reviewed the homework problems with the student, mostly to help her solve problems involving algebra geometry: finding the unknown segment inscribed in a circle, using methods of similar triangles, congruent triangles, and Pythagorean Theorem. etc. We also discussed about arc degrees and angles inscribed in a circle. "

"After examining the notes from the previous tutor, I decided to implement a timed practice with the English section, just to be confident he has no issues with the time limit. He performed very well, without glaring patterns in error and well within the allotted time. We then moved on to math, covering each principle tested by the exam in elementary and intermediate algebra. This process was slower than our work with English and required some more thorough examination, but the student was able to solve each problem set before we moved on. We will continue with geometry next session."

"She has made good progress. She studies well and uses the resources provided by myself and the internet wisely. Today we went over cyclohexane conformations, nomenclature, and Newman projections. "

"The student is doing great; it is obvious to me that he is keeping up with his work, and is really getting in there and learning what he needs to in a first year college language class. He is very smart and ahead of the pack, so to speak. I feel like the tutoring is definitely helping him develop his language skills, and I would obviously be happy to keep him as a regular student indefinitely because the practice is really helpful for him. Nothing but good things to say at this point."
