"The student had two tests this week to prepare for - Biology and English. Since we studied for biology fairly extensively last week, and because he felt much better about his readiness for his bio test than his English test, we reviewed English with our time. His test was on Greek heroes. We spent most of our session committing to memory who each god was, and what their symbol and animal counterpart are. By the end he had it down, but there will be much more than just this information on his test. Therefore, I told him that he will need to review his notes concerning the hero stories, skim and study his book, and review what we had studied in our time (the gods) before taking his test. I feel like he will do great on his bio test, but may struggle with English."

"We worked out way through some probability questions involving some distributions and answered some questions from his test prep book. We'll do more work with calculating probabilities from distributions before his test on Wednesday. "

"Today, we continued our review of finding derivatives as well discussed the requirements for a function to be continuous and differentiable. In order to do this, we spent most of the session working on multiple choice review questions that the student's teacher provided. While he remembers how to find a derivative, the questions asked were applications and extensions that he had not seen before. These questions will be very good preparation for the upcoming exam. I had him work on each question by himself until he got stuck, at which point I tried to point him the right direction without giving away the answer. By the end of the session, I felt like he had a strong grasp of most of the material and he only seemed to get tripped up by the challenging questions. We will continue our review next week. "

"Due to Spring Break, the student had still not had her test on the urinary system. So, today we reviewed the material again, mostly utilizing the new notes the student's teacher gave her. We reviewed filtration, reabsorption, and concentration, the key functions of the kidney. We also talked about osmoregulation, a term she was not familiar with. We spent a good deal of time talking about dialysis, which the student. recalled well from our last session. She needed a bit of clearing up regarding the difference between the Glomerulus and the Bowman's Capsule. We also discussed how permeability changes between the descending and ascending parts of the Loop of Henle, as the student had not examined this in class. I explained how the objective of the nephron is to concentrate urine, so going down the Loop of Henle, the tubule is permeable only to water, while going up the Loop of Henle, the tubule is permeable only to ions (sodium, potassium, etc.). I think she will be in great shape for her test."

"Very good lesson! The student was very active during the whole session. We worked on conversation, some grammar points and reading comprehension. Her pronunciation continues to improve as well as her overall understanding of the language. "

"The student and I dedicated this session to reviewing math sections of the SAT. The student was able to work through a number of difficult problems and demonstrated her problem-solving skills. The student was able to apply several techniques that we had discussed in previous sessions such as solving for averages, straight lines, triangles and circles. We talked about some additional strategies and briefly reviewed some vocabulary. "

"1 hour lesson, just a quick review of material, a pep talk and prep session. Feeling good for the SAT, feeling rested and healthy, and ready for the material. He should be immensely proud of the work he has put in, he has done fantastically."

"We started with English today because that is his first final. We are reviewing all the material his teacher told him would be on the test - vocab, Antigone, Fahrenheit 451 and literary key terms. Today we got through vocab and Fahrenheit 451. He seems to have a great understanding of overall plot and themes as well as the metaphors of the novel - we reviewed the plot/summary and discussed dystopian societies. "
