"The student and I reviewed his Spanish vocabulary extensively for his dictation tomorrow. Later we went over study strategies for long-term fact retention and skills development. Later we spent some time in his history to complete a questionnaire. This week we will focus on English and Biology. "

"We corrected the semester final, which included reviewed graphing quadratic functions, using exponential functions and rules of exponents."

"We covered logarithms and reviewed exponential functions. The student's understanding was fairly solid, but we filled in some gaps in terms of practical ways to solve logarithmic equations."

"The student required assistance with her homework assignment on radicals. We will begin reviewing for her Final exam during our next session."

"The student's homework assignments were one page of spelling, memory verse and to read for 20 minutes. He first completed his spelling page that covered the concepts of using the dictionary and building words, and he did so with 100% accuracy. He worked on his memory verse for about 5 minutes. He read it orally 3 times and then was able to recite it with only 2 mistakes. Finally he read for 20 minutes out of his book. After he read, we discussed 5 vocabulary words as to their meaning, and events in the story. I gave him a practice spelling test and he spelled all words with 100% accuracy. We have been working on increasing his vocabulary by using more descriptive adjectives in his writing. We ended the session by organizing his school folder."

"The student had his test on Friday, but felt unsure about some of the content that was tested. He has not gotten it back yet. He had a few assignments that he needed to make up and we worked on them. They included a worksheet on categorizing atoms, another on naming atomic, and their mass number, atomic mass, etc. Another assignment that he started was on atomic orbital shell diagrams and after explaining to him how he was supposed to do it, I told him to finish it on his own. He was engaged and attentive during the session. "

"Today, we focused on the English and math sections of the ACT. English is a very strong section for the student. He answered 69/75 questions correctly. We reviewed appropriate punctuation for joining different types of clauses. In math, he finished 30 questions in 27 minutes, indicating great pacing for the exam. We reviewed solving logarithms and when to use parentheses. Moving forward, he will begin completing one section per week as homework. When he is within 4-5 months of the exam, he will increase to two sections per week. "

"The student needed some help to complete her physics lab so I helped her to reason out how to read her graphs and interpret to answer the questions. Then we reviewed the new section in her math class on graphing inequalities. She struggled a little with evaluating where to shade the graph based on greater or less than but understood better how to plot the points. She also had some trouble with changing the equation from standard form to y-intercept form, so we practiced that. Then I gave her a chapter in the Danica McKellar book to read during the week before our next session. Overall, the extra practice is helping and she got a B on her last test. Major improvement!"

"We started by previewing some of the concepts covered in Physical Science while the student was out last week. This included parts of the atom, atomic mass, atomic number, and related concepts. Then we practiced a number of elements he has to memorize for a quiz using a flashcard website. We also practiced passage-based questions for the ISEE, which he has improved on a great deal, and finally previewed a concept he is learning in math: ratios as applied to similar figures."

"We began reviewing factoring quadratic equations, factoring by completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. The student already has a prep book that will be very useful moving forward. Next week we will practice factoring by completing the square again and will discuss radical equations as well. "

"In our session, we reviewed finding the area of regular inscribed polygons. The student completed the homework assignment and for more practice, I assigned a number of problems from the previous section, which was on finding the area of irregular polygons. She made small mistakes at first, so I gave another set of problems and she got them all correct."
