Travis: Toluca Lake tutor
Certified Tutor in Toluca Lake, CA
...answer is not success. What I value far more is not just telling students the answers to their problems, but providing them with the resources and strategies to arrive at the correct answer themselves. Not only does this empower students, but it also gives them a framework to understand and tackle more complex problems outside of tutoring. Additionally, I see no value in simply telling a student that they are wrong, or that they are...

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
The student read for comprehension. He also worked on predicates and subjects. For math, he worked on place value, multiplication, and word problems. He is doing very well on everything. For our next session, I plan on having him work on more comprehension strategies. This would include story maps and activities.

The student and I worked on preparing for the tests that she has tomorrow and Friday. We reviewed the adjectives that we studied in our last session. I dictated the words to her, in order to improve her aural comprehension and ensure that she knew how to spell all the words. She then had to say the meanings of the words in English. Then I prepared fill in the blank sentences for her, and she put in the correct form of "ser" ("to be") for each subject. She was very successful at this. She had a little trouble with the "Ud." form, but I explained it and she understood. Finally, I dictated sentences to her that contained the vocabulary words, the verb ser, and new words that she had never heard in order to practice for the test. I believe that she is very well prepared for the upcoming tests, as she made very few mistakes and seemed to complete our exercises with ease.

The student and I edited a paper she wrote for class. The teacher had some comments about her introduction. Her introduction did too much "telling" rather than "showing" as the teacher would have liked. We tried to talk about the comments the teacher gave. Then I reviewed the new introduction the student wrote on her own. It was very good. She used a story to create a scene and then let her original introductory paragraph stand. It was nice to see her using creative ideas to problem solve in a subject she is still trying to learn.

The student has a test on Tuesday and had a review for homework. All the problems were word problems so we discussed problem solving strategies while working through each problem. He was able to do many on his own with little prompting from myself. He struggles mostly with getting the problem started and makes minor mistakes. We discussed taking his time and reviewing his work on each problem.
