"The student and I prepared for her upcoming test on adjectives describing people and their personalities. We defined the words and used them in sentences. The student seemed to have an excellent grasp of the words, their meanings and their uses."

"The student and I had a great time today. I asked her to think of words associated with Christmas and write them down. She came up with about 25 words. Next we used her list of Christmas (vocab) words to play hangman. I could see it was challenging for her when I was the one guessing the word because she had to correctly count the number of letters, draw the corresponding number of blank spaces, then put the letter in the correct blank when I correctly guessed one. She quickly grasped the concept of the game (she said she had once before played hangman) and it seemed to be an effective and fun learning activity for her. We played back and forth several times. Then she read the 4 page short story, "Hello snow," from the Britannica Children's Story Book. The student read well today though as her reading improves, the content and story and words grow increasingly important and challenging so a goal now is to focus more on her reading comprehension. "

"The student began a practice critical reading section. We talked through strategies for focusing during the actual test and then the section she had begun working on. We discussed the various strategies she's learned so far in review for our final session. We finished with some vocabulary review. The student will read through detailed answers for a practice test and review vocab before next week."

"Were able to start organizing some concepts for the report. We reviewed the APA format and talked about how to format the abstract and introduction. We established the dependent/independent variables. In our next meeting, the student will be able to make significant progress on the report because he will have the results of the experiment. For the rest of our time we reviewed some math problems involving exponents/logs."

"Today the student and I met and worked on reading, science, and a little math. His science score right now qualifies him for the center, so we want to maintain that. We will meet again in a couple of weeks, and in the mean time I have asked him to do 2 reading passages and a science passage before we meet again, following the necessary time constraints. Practice, practice, practice! "

"We went over the student's full-length practice test. I asked that she complete another practice test that I sent her before our next session. She can complete the problems without timing herself, so long as she gets more comfortable solving them."

"This was my fourth tutoring session with the student. During this session, we continued to discuss algebra, moving into more in-depth algebraic problems. We continued working on decimals/percents/fraction conversions. We also discussed ratios and basic word problems. The student continues to do very well. He is very dedicated to learning vocabulary words and has been learning ten at a time some days. "

"The current session involved determining the line of best fit for scattered coordinates, the slope, the intercept and the corresponding equations for the line. The student successfully determined and found the correlation between the variable based on their scattering patterns. At the end of the session, she was able to independently generate the equations from the two coordinate points."

"The student and I met for the first time today. We jumped right into test prep with a review of the test he took in January. We identified the areas that he is best at and the ones that need the most work over the coming months as he prepares for the spring test date. After this, we moved on to talk about general information on the format of the test and the best general strategies for approaching questions. We covered a general outline of the Math section and worked on an essay. The student was very engaged and picked up the main ideas quickly. He has several math diagnostics to complete before our next meeting. "

"Continued working with student 1 on reading comprehension, reading practice, and vocabulary building. Worked with student 2 on more writing strategies, like brainstorming and making outlines, as well as vocabulary building and spelling. "

"The student and I went over an explanatory essay on Heroes, and smoothed out some of the awkward phrasing and grammatical errors. For next week, I've asked that she complete the fiction piece that she has been stuck in (paying particular attention to what she has problems with), and that she go through the Heroes essay and work with the vocabulary more. She may use the Thesaurus, but she should highlight the words when she does so, so that she can work on her vocabulary. "
