"I reviewed with the student her 4th grade math homework, which was focusing on fractions, more specifically, being able to identify the relationship, which is larger/smaller, between two different fractions. She had a general knowledge of math vocabulary, numerator/denominator/greater than/less than etc. but can continue to improve on how the vocabulary terms relate to specific problems. She responded well to the use of manipulatives as well as a white board. She seems to be successful with visual and kinesthetic opportunities to solve math problems. She struggled most with deciding what information was needed (are we looking at the numerator or denominator) to be able to complete a problem independently without prompting. She did great when we processed the problem and broke it down step by step, with prompting from me. Overall, the session went great. By the end, she was able to complete a problem independently and was able to explain how she got her answer. It seems as though retention of the concept or how to solve a problem can still improve. She had a great attitude and was wonderful to work with. She was focused and engaged for the entire hour. She worked very hard, and it was apparent that she really wanted to do find the right answer and get it correct! "

"Today we worked on the Quadratic Equation! (-b±sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a = x. We reviewed parabolas, finding the vertex, y-intercept, symmetric point (to the y-int), and the roots, and manipulating the general form of the parabolic function to vertex form and vice versa. I also went over how the quadratic formula is found through completing the squares of the general form of the parabolic formula (ax^2 +bx + c). "

"The student and I started the lesson by going over his Math homework, and being especially mindful of his writing clarity and neatness. We reviewed some concepts with place value, and then moved on to his other subjects. He completed a vocabulary workbook assignment, and walked me through his completed Christopher Columbus social studies assignment. We finished the last 30 minutes of the lesson with more review of place value, and he continued to practice writing his work clearly."

"We worked on preparing for the student's quiz tomorrow. We worked through lots of different factoring problems, as well as synthetic division and polynomials. She needs to work on memorizing her special cases for factoring, but does very well at solving."

"The student said he had a good day today - and he did a great job with tutoring as well. He worked for a bit on finishing his reading questions (the story was about Mt. Everest and climbing). He then completed his math worksheet; the first side was mainly reducing fractions and re-writing ratios. The next side involved solving for missing variables in a given ratio. He then completed the 4 word problems: subtracting mixed numbers, finding radius or circumference of circles, and calculating base of a triangle. He did a great job with all of it. "

"We reviewed the homework on simple interest. The student did pretty well on it. She always has a great attitude, and I look forward to working with her next week."

"We reviewed in preparation for the student's test. Topics included related rate of change problems, computing integrals by finding the area of geometric shapes, Riemann sums, and analytically evaluating simple definite integrals."

"We thoroughly reviewed a worksheet from the student's physics course involving Ohm's law, circuits, and series/parallel resistors. I developed several practice circuit problems to help guide him through the process of analyzing a circuit diagram to find the resistance, voltage, current, and power of each resistor. His confidence with this material is improving, but I still needed to prompt him fairly often to guide him through the problem-solving process. "

"We covered long division and synthetic division and related with problems that involve geometry formulas. The student was very easy to work with this session and almost finished the whole worksheet. A very productive session!"

"The student and I read chapter 3 of her book. After reading, I asked her questions about the chapter to assess her understanding. She was able to answer all of the questions correctly. Then, we worked on describing the characters. I explained that sometimes the author tells us what the character looks like, and other times we have to use our imaginations. I then had the student draw a picture of the characters using descriptions from the text. Next, I had her describe the character's personality. I would ask her to explain why she thought the character acted a certain way using details from the story. I taught her how to play Multiplication Bump using 2 dice and colored chips, with the remaining time. She said she really liked the game. "

"We started by working on some problems related to interstellar red shift. While talking to the student, he told me that he was having trouble understanding what the questions were asking and how to solve them once he had the right equation. He used the word "lost" to describe it. So we talked about the process of solving physics problems, while I demonstrated how to solve the first question. We then switched roles and he re-solved that problem again as we talked through the steps. We followed this pattern for several more questions. I could tell that he was getting more comfortable with this process as his rate of completion spread up, and because he started trying to skip steps. While I see that as progress, I suggested that we stick within the process until a little while longer. Before our next session, I asked him to gather together all of his current questions and to email them to me so i could prepare for our next tutoring sessions. "
