"The student and I spent most of the session reviewing her math homework on using point-slope form equations. She understood the concept very well. She would occasionally make small mistakes (like using a negative sign instead of a positive sign, etc.) that would cause the answers to come out wrong. At first, I would point these mistakes out to her. Then, as we got further into the session, I would advise her to look over her work again to see if she could find the mistakes herself. By the end of the assignment, she was recognizing her own mistakes and fixing them. To help her complete certain word problems, I suggested she write down all the problem gives her and the equation needed to solve it. By doing this, she would more easily be able to see what factors/information is missing and what she would need to obtain by algebra. "

"During our session today, we worked on the student's homework assignment dealing with the chapters on the law of sines and the law of cosines. I began with a general overview of what the law of sines tells us, when and how we use it. We went through that chapter of his homework doing the problems together at first before he felt comfortable doing the problems without help. We briefly review the formula for a triangle's area before moving on to the chapter on the law of cosines. We talked first about the general formula and how it was used, then we began going through the homework problems until he felt confident with it. After finishing his homework, we did a brief review of the unit circle and the values of sine, cosine, and tangent and the primary points in the unit circle. We also discussed converting radians to degrees and vice versa."

"The student and I began by getting to know each other, and we then delved into least common multiples in fractions. We worked on tackling each problem in a methodical, logical fashion to come to the correct answer. He has a great attitude and is clearly intelligent and inquisitive. He was a pleasure to work with on our first session. He's still a little shaky on his multiplication tables, so I asked him to memorize his multiplication tables and I'll quiz him next week (making it fun of course!). I'm looking forward to tutoring him every week. "

"We covered lecture slides pertaining to material on the student's midterm this Wednesday with focus on slides and topics that were most troublesome. We went through example problems of ideal gas law, ionic equations, etc., step by step to confirm understanding. We concluded with a few questions of which I will be sending the solution in stepwise fashion via PowerPoint. I will also be sending additional practice problems similar to the test format. "

"We went over implicit partial differentiation and partial differentiation of multivariate scalar fields with parametric equations. We briefly discussed Lagrange multipliers and where the student may have seen them in her analytical mechanics course."

"We covered math word problems with one unknown variable today. The student was having problem writing out the equation for the problem. I suggested drawing a figure for the relationship and write out the problem. This seemed to help. We will do more exercises next week."

"The student and I focused on math for the day. We went over a number of practice problems and talked about seeing the words in a word problem instead of focusing on the numbers. She tends to look at the numbers first and see keywords to figure out what to do with those numbers. However, she does much better when she approaches problems more holistically. Because of her strong ability to grasp concepts, when she treats math word problems like reading comprehension problems, she is able to complete them with far more confidence and accuracy."

"The student read the story "Hiccups" from Father Bear Comes Home. He is reading more fluently now. After reading, I wrote three questions about the story and he answered them in complete sentences. I then wrote the words he had missed on a whiteboard and he read them. We talked about the silent letters and vowel sounds. I then took the endings "ould" "ay" and "ight" and added letters and blends to them to make words for him to read. We ended the session reading words with the long "i" sound: bike, pine, dive, kite, bite. He read sentences and chose one of these words to complete the sentence. Also, his mom told me that the student doubled his score on the reading assessment test at school. Congratulations!"

"Today, we started with circles, which is part of the homework that the student had not yet attended class for. I started with the basic concepts, then went to formulas, and finally covered problem solving. He put in the effort to understand as much as possible in order to do his homework. I provided him with strategies for solving problems with similar concepts and understanding questions. I left him with homework that will help him review the material. "

"The student worked on his homework. We also went over probability and proportions. He understood both of these concept and how they relate to each other very well. We then went over past math papers and made corrections for understanding. Then we had a discussion about future math lessons he will have this week in class. "

"We began working on test prep for the state assessment, beginning with geometry. The student does not totally love math, so improving her confidence in the subject is going to be a big focus of prep work, as well as reviewing concepts and practicing applying them in test-specific ways. Today we worked on basic properties of triangles and circles and reviewed vocabulary. We will make flashcards next session to remember and effectively study this material, and then will move on. "
