"We covered the basic concepts of springs, pendulums, and potential/ kinetic energy. At this point her homework was very basic and she had no problems using the equations or figuring out what to do. We reviewed the basic concepts to ensure that she fully understood the material, but I didn't see her having any trouble at all."

"We worked on material for physics dealing with work, potential, and kinetic energy. Mainly, the student just needs to practice the equations a little bit more. The equations will help with plugging in the right numbers."

"The student and I met to go over a set of introductory problems she had received from her teacher after her last exam. She mentioned that she received a 96 on her last exam (electrical circuits and charge), which I was very impressed with as these concepts can be a challenge for some students. The intro set of "pre-homework" contained problems and questions about waves, amplitudes, frequencies, and velocities of waves traveling. Some questions were more of a high level view of the topic (such as definitions, hypothetical problem situations such as jump rope, etc.), and some were calculations to find wavelength and velocity of a wave. The main concepts I wanted to ensure she left with were the concept of frequency, or Hertz, which she left understanding was cycles per second, and the velocity of a wave formula. We completed her homework set of problems which were relatively easy for her, since this was just an introduction to material which she has not covered yet but will this week. "

"In this session, the student and I reviewed periodic motion, involving pendulums, springs and waves. He had a quiz on the 24th, so we had a session earlier in the week than usual. He was very good with most of these; he just was a bit rusty to start out. After a few problems, he was moving through both conceptual and computational problems with ease. I think he'll have done well on this quiz."

"Today we went over a review sheet of basic kinematics. The student said that his teacher hadn't gone over some of the material so I showed him how to manipulate the linear displacement equation. He picked it up pretty quickly and we moved seamlessly through the rest of the exercises. The student has a strong grasp on the physics we've been working on and I expect he will do very well on his next test."

"The student informed me that she thinks she did well on her last Physics test; she didn't have any problems with it, and it was relatively short. During our session, we covered force between charged particles, and it appeared that she understood the concepts and material without any struggle. For homework, she read the related textbook sections before solving the problems, and I think that this helped her a lot. If not assigned by her teacher in the future, we will make this part of her regular routine."

"It was my first meeting with the student and it went very well. During the session we worked on a homework which covered the topic of Circuits and electricity. I began to ask she more questions and let her work through some stuff. She is a bit shy and so I think allowing her to talk things out and ask questions is very important. By the end of the session she told me she was feeling more confident in the subject already, which is always a great relief for a tutor. I am looking forward to our next meeting. "

"The student was dealing with two-dimensional projectile motion, and how to set up those problems to solve them. He sometimes had difficulty organizing all the information in a problem, which mainly takes practice to resolve, but he was getting a little better at seeing things by the time we got to the end."

"Went over circuits today, Kirchhoff's laws, finding equivalent resistance, current, and voltage. It was a great session and the student understands the material quite well."

"The student had an old quiz from a student in the same class last year, so we first practiced with that. We then moved on to studying from the chapter. Her test this week will be on chapter 9 which covers rotations of rigid bodies, moments of inertia, center of mass, and gravitational forces. We will meet again next Thursday."

"We reviewed the restoring force of a spring, the spring constant, conservation of momentum, the definition of impulse, the relationship between impulse, force, the amount of time the force operates, and the differences between elastic and inelastic collisions."
