Session Summaries by Tutors

"The student worked on his homework. He focused on variables again as his teacher is now introducing equations with variables to his class. We worked on how and when we combine like terms and how that leads to simplifying the expression. "

"We looked at her Algebra II homework. We reviewed the majority of her homework problems, but we didn't finish. Her homework covered exponential functions and logarithmic functions."

"The student and I worked through her homework concerning fact triangles. We also continued practicing multiplication with a few games and worksheets. These also included some division, which she is becoming more and more comfortable with. Her teacher didn't assign her a multiplication fact sheet for homework, though I think she is more than ready to do such an assignment!"

"During this session we worked on equations of circles. The student did a good job of picking up on the material. We also worked on parallel and perpendicular lines. As long as he takes his time and doesn't get parallel and perpendicular mixed up on his test today, he should do well. "

"The student has written over 10 pages of a free write assignment and I have encouraged him to keep writing the story because the topic interests him. I stressed character development, setting, and possible plot twists. I told him I expect 4 more pages when I see him again. His organized writing prompt discussed healthier menu items in schools and to argue a point. It was so much better than his other writing prompt last week, which discussed merging middle schools with high schools. His paragraphs were more organized and the transition sentences were a better fit. I asked him to write another one because he needs to work on his introductory sentences. While I grade his free-write, he works on his revised writing prompt with my corrections. When I grade his writing prompt, he free writes. "

"The student asked to review Physics problems. We covered the conservation of energy equation, angular velocity and acceleration, centripetal force, and balance of force diagram. The student had only basic knowledge of the concepts and needed some help with setting up physics problems. I gave the student a system for addressing complex word problems. I also helped her apply the concepts to the problems."

"We spent today going over the natural science passages and the results of the practice SAT that the student took this weekend. He showed a lot of progress with the practice SAT- he had the highest score on the critical reading section, and he got almost every question he answered correct. He had only two fill-in-the-blank questions wrong, and he got all of the questions from the shorter passage correct. Between now and the next session, he plans to do more practice tests, and I will assign homework relating to history and social science passages. The biggest thing he needs to work on for the critical reading section is the timing- he had the last few questions unanswered for two out of the three critical reading sections. He plans to try working on passages a couple of different ways and see if one of them works best for him."

"The student and I went over practice algebra 2 problems involving solving logarithmic equations, and solving exponential equations. This was in preparation for an upcoming exam. By the end of the session, he was able to solve the problems correctly."

"The student did a progress test today. He did well on this second test which assessed sounds and words. The only word he missed was reading dress. Then we did a kinesthetic activity with letters and sight word lists to match the letters--he was very engaged and came up with lots of words that started with the letter. "

"The student and I discussed several topics in inferential statistics. He worked on several of his online homework assignments, and I ensured that he understood how to work on it on his own. We spoke about 1 and 2 sample hypothesis for proportions, as well as tests for means. In addition to this, we spent some time understanding the correct interpretation of our results. He seemed to be struggling a bit with understanding the correct interpretation and making sense of a few concepts, but we worked to ensure his understanding. "

"We began the session by working on a practice SAT essay. I had the student brainstorm ideas, come up with a thesis statement, and write a brief outline for the essay. The last 30 minuses of the session we practiced some probability problems for a test she has in math class on Tuesday. "
