"Interviewed the student about her previous SAT. Worked on strategy ideas involving Pacing, POE, Guessing, Answer grouping, focusing on what the question is asking for, answer numbers in order low to high, working easy & medium problems first. Reviewed specific math results from last test. Set up schedule for remaining sessions. Provided web site for math practice problems (this is homework). Worked problems in 3 different math areas of exam."

"In this session, we reviewed the math section of one of the student's practice tests. She seemed to have a good understanding of many of the problems. In addition, we reviewed some of the reading passages from her practice test and went over the questions that she got wrong. We discussed what inference questions were and how to approach them."

"We did some more integration. This time using trigonometric substitutions. I had him explain everything to me as if I didn't know anything about it, and he was able to answer my questions about his reasoning. "

"We discussed goals for tutoring sessions before ACT exam, as well as areas of strength and areas in which the student would like to improve, in order to create a lesson plan for the summer. I discussed college plans with the student and provided advice on college entrance requirements. We practiced ACT science reasoning passage questions, broke down the different types of science reasoning questions, and briefly introduced strategies for the ACT science reasoning section with the student. "

"We finished up the reading section by looking at two more sample passages, both of which the student was able to address without issue. Next time we look at this section should be our post-test. We then returned to our assessment test vocab words; I introduced the student to a word web vocab exercise and was excited to see her respond so well to it. Will make more use of this method in our next session. "

"The student and I worked on precalculus. We compared and contrasted the sine and cosine functions and their roles in the unit circle, in right triangles, and in different quadrants of the unit circle. We correlated the graphs of sine and cosine with their values, as a way of (approximately) checking work. We took several approaches to determining the value of sine and cosine functions in different quadrants of the circle, including reference angles, and angle addition and subtraction identities. We used the addition and subtraction identities to derive most of the other approaches to sine and cosine functions around the unit circle. We noted that triangles' axes, when oriented in the unit circle, take on positive and negative values, as appropriate, according to the mnemonic "All Students Take Calculus.""

"Worked with the student briefly on his homework but spent much of our session on a math practice test. He is really coming along in our sessions. I think today will be our last math practice test as he's rapidly becoming proficient on that style of testing. For next week, we'll start in on reading tests."

"The student and I worked on a review packet for his math class final. He has improved significantly since our first session and was very confident and successful at finding mean, median, and mode. He still has difficulty with some word problems and with modeling problems. We worked on ways to think about visualizing math problems and reasoning out how to find what word problems are asking for. He is improving. "

"Today we checked the final score that the student received on her practice English section for the homework. She did very well, so we reviewed the 3 problems that she missed, and made sure she understood each one. Then we moved on to the writing section. I asked her about her writing process; She uses the 5P essay with three supporting reasons and 3-6 examples. We focused our time on differentiating between a supporting reason and an example, and she practiced organizing different reasons and examples into a logical argument. Finally, we spent some time on the math section. So far she has demonstrated strong algebraic skills. For homework she will write one essay and complete the math section. We will meet again in two weeks. "

"We first went over the essay that the student wrote before our session. She did a great job organizing her thoughts and ideas. We spent most of our time alternating between spelling words and math problems. She did well on both. I asked her to complete the math section we started and complete an English and a science section before our next session. The student will take a full practice ACT next week, so I also asked her to go over the handouts, formulas and strategies that we have gone over together in our previous sessions."

"Talked to the student about her Spanish class, and what she was doing well in and struggling with. - looked through text book - reviewed basics about Spanish - reviewed present tense -AR, -ER, and -IR conjugations (regular) - began i->ie, o->ue, e->i stem-changing verbs "

"The student and I worked on material from his AP history class and created an outline for a paper about social movements during the Progressive Era. He did a good job overall. I left him two practice tests, one for the ACT and one for the SAT, so he can decide which one he wants to take. "
