"We worked on rate, ratio, and proportion problems at his level and then did a few percentage questions related to ratios. "

"The student has a test regarding patterns on Friday. She had a practice packet, and we did some of the problems in there. Tomorrow, I will take a new approach: instead of using her practice packet, I will give her problems online which are "scored." I will also try to get her to complete problems as part of a game."

"The student is smart, and she understands what is being taught to her rather quickly. Her teacher provided me with the work that she needs to catch up on (pronoun agreement and poetry). Since the student was in school for most of the pronoun agreement, we just went over a few things and worked through some exercises. I gave her a packet with pronoun agreement information to use in class and at home. Since she missed the poetry unit, I gave her an introduction to the writing style, based on what her teacher provided. We talked about literary devices that are used in poetry and other writing areas. She knew all but a few, so I had her do a few worksheets that asked for examples of a few devices. From there, we talked about analyzing poetry, and because the student has never done this before, she was hesitant about what she thought. I explained to her that when analyzing for the first time there was no wrong answer because the author isn't here to inform us whether we are right or wrong. Together we analyzed and answered a few questions about two more poems. She is a quick study, and I think that with another week or two of practicing poetry analysis she will feel more confident. I left her with an assignment of analyzing a poem and answering a few questions from a poem provided from her teacher."

"We reviewed math concepts such as fractions, decimals, and the perimeters and areas of geometric shapes. "

"We were able to review all the material that the student has been challenged with. It is mostly exponent and logarithm properties. He understood how the properties worked, but just needed some extra practice using them to solve problems. He completed his homework, and we worked through an extra review set of problems. Once I showed him how to solve a type of problem, he remembered it and could solve similar problems on his own afterwards. He said that reviewing it together was helpful and that he felt pretty good about that chapter. "

"We covered scientific notation and worked through some practice problems to prepare her for her take home quiz. She is still struggling with scientific notation, however clarity is becoming aware the more we work the introductory concepts I am confident she with get there. We also discussed some way to improve note taking and learning through the PowerPoint format. We are scheduled to meet on Thursday."

"We did some practice problems from the review sheet for the student's upcoming quiz. The problems applied concepts such as u-substitution, integration by parts, partial fractions, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. We also looked over a few problems from the midterm. He did fairly well with integration, although he had some trouble identifying where to start and what strategy to use. I advised him to use online tools to practice. He also needs to continue practicing integration to really master the concepts."

"We covered covariational graphs and how to use reasoning to deduce the shape of particular functions. In another problem we tackled plotting and generating piecewise functions. The student had the most difficulty with the latter topic. I demonstrated a systematic problem solving strategy for the student for the topic she was struggling the most with. This was our first meeting, so a baseline level of the student's status with the material was established. The positive point of this session is that the student seems very enthusiastic to move forward with the material and the course."

"The student and I covered polynomials so she could have a better understanding of the problems before her test tomorrow. We worked on some review worksheets and concentrated on a "folding box problem.: This problem will be on the test, and I think she has a better understanding of how to solve it now. She has the tools she needs to solve the problems on the test."

"We went over the student's math and science tests she took last Friday. It seems that she knows the concepts for the most part. We discussed the strategy of going over all the problems on her test a second time once she is done going through the first time -- spending the most time on the questions that were most confusing to her. I told her to practice doing this on her homework. I gave her some practice problems to practice identification of independent and dependent variables, as well as setting up proportions. We talked a little more about how she wants to do in her classes."

"The student and I went over his writing homework for first grade. He had to memorize the spelling of 12 words and write three sentences. His memorization skills were good."

"Today the student and I worked on more practice problems in chemistry. Most of the test will be covering mixed stoichiometry problems, so we did most of the practice with that topic. The student did very well. I showed her ways to avoid common mistakes and how to catch mistakes if they do occur. "
