"The student and I worked through a review packet for her test. We will complete the packet next session so that she is prepared to take the test this week."

"We worked mainly on Trig functions and the use of a unit circle to compute Cos, Sin, Tan, CSC, etc. of angles. The student truly has her head on her shoulders. She's very bright and very attentive. I have no doubt that this student will obtain outstanding results in Math."

"Tonight was our last session. We continued pushing through and got as far as we could. We had a good amount of practice with polynomials but she could still use more repetition with additional problems. I would suggest her working back through all of our sections using our notes to help her. "

"I helped the student study for the test he has tomorrow. We also discussed some of the material that he will be covering in the next chapter, and I recommended that he make flashcards to help him remember the names of the various theorems and postulates that he will need to use in proofs. He also asked my opinion about whether he should skip algebra 2, so we spent a little time discussing his plans for future math classes."

"For this session, the student wanted to focus on Critical Reading. I brought practice exams for the reading section only. My goal for this session was to show him how to actually read the text when taking the test. To accomplish this, I read the text aloud and periodically stopped to model my thinking, share key lines I would underline, and annotations I would make in the margins, while he made the annotations along with me. When I finished reading the passage I asked him to complete the multiple choice questions on his own. I did this for two single passages and one two passage practice test so he could see the method to approach and read the text. He got most of the questions right after reading the passage this way and expressed that it was easier to answer the questions and he had to look back in the passage less to find the answers. After doing a few passages with me modeling my thinking, I asked him to read a passage aloud and note what he would underline, where he would annotate, etc. Again he expressed that this helped when answering the questions based on the text. Finally I had him read the passage silently, annotate and answer the questions on his own. We discussed how the SAT will put answers on the multiple choice that could be correct inferences, but they are only looking for direct interpretation from what is explicitly stated in the text. I think that he is well prepared to take the SAT tomorrow."

"We reviewed for her quiz by reviewing homework problems. She was very successful at naming acids and polyatomic compounds."

"The student and I reviewed electromagnetic wavelength concepts, how to determine the color of visible light based on wavelength/frequency, how to calculate energy based on wavelength/frequency, and how to draw Lewis structures for her test on Tuesday. We also reviewed some dimensional analysis questions. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We worked on more worksheets. We talked about different compound shapes and structures and spent awhile talking about naming. The student was very focused on the material and we discussed different naming strategies."

"We studied techniques for solving various problems found in the student's SAT workbook. I tried to show her the fastest and most reliable techniques for solving the problems. We focused on solving algebraic equations with exponents for a good part of the session. The student works hard. She needs to take advantage of her good visualization skills to solve these problems. She also needs more practice with basic algebraic operations."

"We reviewed the SSAT practice test that the student had recently taken, and then we did another practice test together. He improved greatly using the tools I gave him in our first session. Over the next week, he will be reading A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. When he is done, we will test his vocabulary and reading comprehension. "

"Today, we completed a previous AP Calculus Free Response section. The student has significantly improved in certain areas, and she is feeling much more confident about the approach to problems. Now, we need to work on utilizing the calculator to its fullest extent, being careful for algebra errors, and we need to review area/volume, and graphing problems."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student had some homework that covered the quadratic formula. We worked through her assignment and then went backward to factoring polynomials since this was a skill she felt she needed reinforcement on. We then focused on problem solving. She claims that there is not much of a focus on word problems or problem solving in her class, but she will need to become stronger when it comes time to take the ACT so this will be a focus of our future sessions."
