I think Nick's got the algebra down and we're good to move on to the next topic. I'm happy to see him confident in his ability to learn and see him dictate what he wants to learn next.

I think he isn't going into enough depth with his answers to the reading comprehension, which could definitely be a problem in the future when doing analytical essays, as he needs to explain in depth his thoughts and relate his ideas. I hope to see improvement when going through essay structure and writing in the upcoming weeks.

He was able to go through and correctly solve questions that I had made specifically to be hard. Furthermore, his ability to solve questions using steps that we just went through is good.

Other students I've had have had trouble remembering the steps for questions we've done in the past. So, seeing if he can remember what we've done this week, and how well he does on his own is what I wanna see next week!

I think Nick has a good understanding of where he's at currently, knows what he needs to do to move forward.

Just a few things I've observed from our first lesson today. He's exhibiting the same symptoms to problems other students are experiencing at his age; where he's not reading the question fully, anddoesn't fully understand the steps he's doing. These aren't solved by a simple brief instruction from his teacher or a tutor but constant practice going over the questions again and again. I've told Nick that next week, I'll be bringing some questions to help his learning moving forward.

I'm glad that she didn't have that much trouble with the entrance exam, and hope that she passes through since it is the school she wants to go to. It's great that she remembers what we've done, and I hope to further refine our learning so that she's able to tackle problems with the same concept but different numbers with ease.

At this point, we've gone over all of the main topics she needs to do for her year level. Now it's just down to practice and how well she can do them.
