"Today, I helped her revise the first draft of her literature review. It was really well written. I did not have much feedback other than fixing a few run on sentences and adding much needed citations. She is a bit concerned about organizing the literature review with needed headings and subheadings so we did some review on this."

"Today we went over problems having to do with limits and methods for solving limit problems, including multiplying by conjugates and decomposing differences of cubes in preparation for the student's forthcoming midterm."

"The student and I tackled SAT vocabulary today. He wrote sentences using 9 of the words. For homework, he will write sentences for 20 more words. He also completed a practice reading test found on the test prep website. This was very helpful. With the last ten minutes of time, we worked on correcting sentences with usage mistakes. "

"We focused mostly on Physics today--Coulomb's law and how to use it to understand magnitude between electrons and protons. At the end of the session, the student had a much better understanding of the material. We will resume tomorrow to work on more complex equations. "

"We covered scales, and we went over percentages and fractions. The student did well and completed each problem thoroughly. She is also very responsive to my corrections; she understands what she did wrong and fixes it easily."

"The student and I spent the majority of the session reviewing how we can go about working through a word problem. I stressed to him the importance of these strategies and why they help him. He said he did think that they help him. We worked on a few practice problems afterwards so he could use the strategies more."

"We covered word problems relating to factoring (with an emphasis on difference of squares and perfect squares). Remember: 1. Always see if you can take out the greatest common factor. 2. Sometimes you cannot do this, so review how to factor equations in x^2+bx+c and ax^2+bx+c form. 3. Also, review and practice difference of squares (a^2-b^2)=(a+b)^2(a-b)^2. 4. Review and practice perfect squares a^2x^2+bx+c^2=(ax+c)^2. 5. Because it came up in a few problems-- the area of a circle is pi r^2, and the r (radius) is 1/2 of the diameter, meaning it is 1 half of a square it is inscribed in. "

"The student had a quiz on Friday, so we went over the review sheets he had, which dealt mainly with finding areas of objects, construction methods, and dilation. He was able to use what we had gone over previously to find areas of objects via the subtraction and partition methods. We also talked about finding the areas of a circle (A=pi*r^2). At the end of the session, he was confident and had no trouble solving the problems I gave him."

"In this lesson we started off by going through 100 of the 200 words to know by the end of 1st grade. The student still needed help with oil and digit. We then went through various blend sounds as a strategy for deciding such as oi, oy, air, are, ate, ave, and abe, and inflectional endings ed and ing. Word sorting allows us to practice these blends and also have a host of new sight words that fall into this category. To wrap up the session I asked various comprehension questions about the book "Bad Cat," which the student read in between sessions. Again I was able to see that he has a strong ability for retelling and comprehending what he reads. "

"Great first session. The student explained his paper assignment to me, he shared the specifics of the task and what he needs to complete the paper. He has a good draft that we are working with to complete the assignment. "

"We worked on multiplication and division flashcards. Since it has been two weeks without working on these, it took a good amount of time. The student worked online. We played multiplication war and finished with BAM!"
