"The student started the session by asking that we spend 45 min on math, and 45 min on chemistry. In math he was learning about series and sequences. We looked through most of his assignment for the day together. It involved determining a formula for (n) given the first 4-6 terms of the sequence. We discussed (n) and went over a couple of examples. It was part of his assignment, and I was paying attention to the time so we would be able to cover the chemistry questions he had. In chemistry his main question was- what exactly is dipole-dipole bonding? He said he understood the idea of hydrogen bonding so I explained that hydrogen bonding is a specific type of dipole-dipole bonding. I drew a couple pictures to demonstrate what is happening with dipole-dipole bonding. Then we looked at a couple of examples he was uncertain about. Other topics we discussed: how dipole-dipole bonding affects boiling point and vapor pressure, and reading a solubility chart to discuss its application to saturated vs. supersaturated solutions."

"The student and I worked on structuring essays and finding the overarching topics behind miscellaneous examples. She did a reasonable job of selecting supporting ideas that didn't overlap, but we spent some time making sure they worked together and actually addressed the topic at hand. Then, we worked on finding the ideas behind specific examples. She would share life examples that seemed to address the topic, but she had some trouble identifying the ideas behind the examples. I directed her to find three different ideas that would support a list of theses. Overall, she's quite bright and has good thoughts; she just needs to work on articulating her thoughts in a way that they address the topic directly."

"We went over the subject material of the student's test tomorrow, mainly equalities and inequalities. As in our last session, I stressed to him the importance of slowing down and taking his time. I was really encouraged by his progress from our first meeting; he is solving his problems faster, with more accuracy and greater confidence. I'm really encouraged by his progress so far and I'm confident that his test will go well."

"The student and I talked about his first SAT results and what he had had trouble with. We went over his scores from his first test and he told me that he is hoping for an 1800 when he takes the test in December. We went through a practice SAT that he had. We did 4-5 problems from each of the sections by having him go through them and complete them first and then going through the ones he got wrong together. For our next session, I asked him to complete the test and we could go through it together. "

"The student was preparing for an exam on Newton's laws with inclined planes, friction, and other forces. He was reviewing a wide range of questions, and we focused on organizing information and using diagrams to lay out the force information given in a particular problem. We also covered how to resolve vectors into components using sin and cos, and how to build vectors up using the Pythagorean theorem and tan. He seemed to take some of the ideas to heart, and was rather better able to take in information at the end of the session than the beginning."

"The student and I met today to work on an outline for one of her upcoming communications presentations. Together we determined what types of information she will need to cover for each of the sections that she has been assigned, and where to find some of the data that should be included. We also brainstormed some ideas about possible campaign ideas for the product and the types of narrative that could be utilized. "

"The student had a final on Friday she wanted review for. She tried to go over the problems she did know, and I checked those for her. She did well. She knew her substitution and elimination very well. We went through the whole packet, and she felt much better at the end. She will do a great job on her exam."

"I helped the student with his Algebra review packet for the midterm. Many of the subjects in the review packet are covered topics on the SAT. This is great exposure for him to get further practice on more types of math problems."

"The student continues to impress me with her spelling so I'm giving her harder words. She enjoys making the flashcards. She did pretty well with writing today, but I would like her to write complete sentences and to continue practicing penmanship. For math, we are working on the tens. I want her to know them well so that it is almost instantaneous for her."

"We took this session to discuss how to use Cramer's rule to solve a system of linear equations and how to use determinants to calculate the area of a triangle or equation of a line. After working through some sample problems, we moved on to the next section involving sequences and series. In particular, we discussed the notation used for sequences and summations, the terminology involved in sequences and series, the two primary ways we can define sequences (recursively or directly), and the idea of an infinite sum. We also discussed arithmetic sequences and how to determine what an arithmetic sequence is given two known entries in the sequence."

"We went over an old exam that she did not do well on. She realized that she was making minor mistakes on problems that she already knew how to do. She needs to review equation of a line in point slope form, finding the slope, and watching her negative signs. However, once she realizes where she makes her mistakes, she is good at not repeating them."

"We continued to study conservation of momentum and we started conservation of energy. We covered the fundamental scenarios where momentum and kinetic energy is and isn't conserved. And we solved problems 3, 4, 8, 10, 13, and 20 from this chapter. "
