"On Sunday, the student and I began our lesson by reviewing his homework. The student used the strategies we discussed in our previous session to read a short passage and answer four questions. With the help of that strategy, the student was able to answer all but one question. We worked together to answer the last question, and talked about why he had difficulty with it. Next, we finished up our discussion of passage reading strategies by tackling two sets of paired passages. I taught the student to "divide and conquer" the paired passages. After the paired passages, the student and I worked on sentence completions."

"Today we worked problems from chapter 4 which covered cycloalkanes. We reinforced the concepts concerning steric strains, cis and trans isomers, and ring flips. The student is a fast learner and I can tell he is working hard to do well in this course. "

"Student started telling me about a trip, so I had him draw and then write the word "slide" (to contrast with yesterday's word, "slip," e.g. long vowel short vowel). Reviewed lists of words with "long I" sounds. Watched difference between upper and lower case while writing them. There were some backwards lower case "e"s, so we did the E workbook page. We read a story called Ocean Life, practicing comprehension and isolating the following words --"ocean," "whale," "shark" -- which I then assigned, along with the rest of the homework, for further practice."

"The student and I worked on the mathematics section of the SATs. We went over three practice sections and the last two were timed. We developed some test taking strategies around how to time each problem. I also gave the student a quick recap of graph transformations regarding parabolas. "

"This was my first session back with the student. We started the lesson by going over the two pieces she wrote in response to the articles I left with her. We talked about how she has risen to a higher level of writing, so naturally she will start to make more mistakes, since her writing itself is more complex. She then expressed to me a desire to write up a piece about her conference in a journalistic style. I gave her a brief overview of how a news article is written using an inverted pyramid, starting with a strong lead and nut graph and adding more details and specifics as the piece goes on. She is going to prepare a piece like this for our next session."

"We went over 5-2 practice exercises and home work assigned by client's teacher. Negative words: Remember in Spanish there is the double negative: No + another negative word later in the sentence(never, none, nothing, no body) Nunca= never, Nadie= nobody, Ninguna/ninguno= none (none at all), * ninguno becomes ning before a masculine noun. (normally conjugated in the singular and according to the gender of the noun they modify-often will come before a noun-also will follow in this pattern: Ninguna/ninguno + de + noun *if any of these negative words follows the main verb of the sentence, you need to put a "no" before the verb Remember that the verb -conocerse +a has the "a" after the verb- to know (to) someone, Nada= nothing, at all"

"Today the student and I went through the present perfect and the past perfect forms for her quiz tomorrow. We made flashcards for the irregular forms of verbs (such as decir, morir, etc.) and practiced conjugating each verb form. After a while, she really got the hang of it, so she just needs to keep drilling herself with the flashcards and online modules."

"The student has a test tomorrow on modular arithmetic. We worked through the review packet, as well as a few substantially different problems from other worksheets. She didn't need much assistance; her main issue was resolved by drawing a connection back to the material on arithmetic sequences."

"We spent half of the session on word problems. We worked on simplifying equations and adding positive and negative numbers. We used line graphs and bar graphs to model the equations. We spent the other half of the session on reading; the student was asked to summarized, and we discussed a passage. Next week we will discuss questions and write a short essay about the passage."

"The student and I worked on finding the area of parallelograms, triangles and rectangles using graph paper and formulas. He had finished his homework, so we got him ahead so that he can feel confident in math class. The student's math skills have improved so much over the last year!"
