Award-Winning Test Prep & Academic Tutoring in Syracuse University, NY

"Student 1 and I worked on grammar correction from her workbook, including capitalization, punctuation, and spelling errors. We discussed where to use apostrophes and other punctuation as well as how to use different tenses. Student 2 and I worked on math word problems which required multiplication, division, and fractions. We discussed how to check multiplication and division work. "

"We covered problem solving skills today. The student took down notes on short division and multiplication with power of 10--mental math strategies. We also discussed how to read and question our answers for reasonableness and checking for appropriate units. The student found that working with lateral equations was somewhat challenging, but it seemed that he enjoyed them. We made some connections between distributive properties and factoring of polynomials. He is preparing for the test next week. He will need to slow down to organize his ideas on paper. When he makes a habit of writing down each step, he should be able to earn in the high 90s at ease. Overall, I am very proud of his progress."

"Today the student and I reviewed his spelling words for understanding and read a comprehension passage from Journeys. Next we read a story from his books and took a comprehension quiz which he scored 100% on. Then we practiced his multiplication and division facts. We concluded our session with a strategies game online."

"The student and I worked on his Oedipus homework for English, which focused on identifying two conversations between Oedipus and two other people and then paraphrasing what was said in that conversation."

"Today the student and I talked about some differences between median and mean, and about the effects of outliers. We mostly focused on probability problems and talked about independent and dependent events and conditional probabilities. We also solved some binomial problems as well. She is doing a great job keeping up with the material and had very thoughtful questions prepared for our session."

"This was a good session with the student! We continued working on word problems involving sinusoidal functions and models."

"During this session, the student and I prepared for his upcoming exam on Wednesday. I started by reviewing the vocabulary with the verbs (prendre/boire). I asked him about what he eats/ drinks for breakfast, lunch and dinner in French, and I had him speak and write in French. After these initial activities we practiced with online writing activities that required him to actively create new phrases with the vocabulary. We also reviewed partitive articles and how to form them and use them in sentences. Overall, he feels confident about the IR verbs, and I gave him a few practice activities to complete in preparation for the exam."

"The student and I went over this week's material he learned in class, which consisted of logarithm rules and applications. He understood the material and was able to run all calculations on his own by the end of the session. We ended with a plan to meet next week and discuss the coming week's material."

"Covered just his homework. The student needs to start from the beginning to learn all the concepts that he missed. The student's attitude was good and he is willing to put in work to learn. "

"The student and I completed his algebra 1 review. We worked on simplifying rational expressions, adding and subtracting rational expressions, and multiplying and dividing rational expressions. "
