"We worked on Geometric Sequences and Series. We worked through the general concepts and worked on homework assignments for Monday and Tuesday."

"This was my first tutoring session with the student. During this session we reviewed material covered in class for a retest. We went over tangent and secant lines. We also covered several theorems involving angles of quadrilaterals inscribed in circles. I believe that with some extra practice she will be able to raise her grade to her desired goal. "

"The student and I started by discussing his scores on the September exam and making a plan for our work over the next couple weeks. We will focus even more on Math and Science, since his improvements were smaller in those areas of the test. On his Reading homework, he earned a converted score of 31, so I am optimistic that he can already do better than the 29 he scored on the test. His English section was as great as expected. He missed only 2 on the two passages he worked on, so he is maintaining his ability to score well in the 30s. The rest of the session, he worked through a timed Science test, and we discussed the questions he missed. I am pleased to report that he scored a 28 on the Science section this weekend, so I know he can do better than the 25 he earned on the last test. Next time we will spend most of our time on Math!"

"The student and I covered some of the topics on worksheets he received in class. Much of this was over the framers' discussion of human nature through the writings of Montesquieu, Hobbes, and Locke. We also discussed the ideas of representative and direct democracy and gave definitions for what these types of democracies look like. Furthermore, we talked about universal suffrage and the Civil Rights movement and their relationship to the Constitutional Amendments. Finally, he has a quiz over chapter 12 in his book so we went over some of the main points. This chapter covered congress so we discussed bicameralism, committees, how bills become law, etc. We looked at how congress interacts with the President and the Supreme Court, understanding how the system of checks and balances works."

"We covered the verbal and reading comprehension sections of the SSAT. When the student answered questions with words that she knew, she was pretty confident about them; she just felt insecure about the fact that there were still so many she didn't know. She was also a little unsure with reading, due to the fact that some of the questions had multiple good answers. With practice, these issues will resolve themselves. Overall, she has shown significant improvement with her work. Scores: 45/60 verbal, 4/4 reading comprehension."

"We worked on ratios and a practice test for the student's upcoming test in class this week. He seemed to struggle with the problems that had more than 2 or 3 steps involved. He said that he felt much better after the session and understood more."

"For this session we focused mainly on sums, permutations and combinations. We did a few exercises using the capital sigma summation notation, then moved on to questions about combinations (where the order of the parts does not matter) and permutations (where the order does matter)."

"We ended our last session working on proportions. He indicated that in class he continued his work with proportions. He solved proportions and then moved on to making proportions from similar objects. We had a quick lesson on similar shapes and how to set up proportions to solve for missing side lengths. He is a very special person and lit up when solving problems that involved rotating and flipping shapes to set up the appropriate proportion to solve. He was able to verbalize that a scale factor greater than 1 increased and a scale factor less than 1 became smaller shapes. Next, I set him up with an online program that is aligned with state standards. It will give diagnostic information and create lessons based on his individualized needs. We will use this data to create our sessions. "

"I covered the mean, median, mode, range, and outliers with the student. She needed help with all of them; I wrote their definitions along with examples in her notebook to keep to review for the final exam. We solved some examples for each and she understood at the end. I also reviewed two-step equations with her. I left plenty of examples in her notebook for review."

"We covered bending and shear in beams. He learns visually so I worked out a few problems for him. He solved problems well on his own at the end."

"The student is learning about logarithmic material, and it's confusing her the same amount it confuses everyone else. We went pretty slow, but I made sure she understood the "why" of everything and the various rules and formulas. Then, we did a lot of problems, and I think she's got it!"
