"Today the student wanted to go over some basics. We spent the session discussing means, variance, and standard deviations. Then we calculated a variance and standard deviation by hand as a way of helping her to understand what the numbers mean and where they come from. I gave her some more sets of numbers to work with to calculate the means, var., and SD."

"The student and I worked on parametric equations. He understands the concepts well. We will work on vectors next. "

"The student has no homework. We worked on practice problems from a math assessment packet. They involved looking at various types of problems and allowing him to solve familiar problems and new ones. We also reviewed concepts from his last chapter: percentage, decimal, fractions, and converting between them. We also covered rounding off or estimating to the nearest ten or nearest tenth. Both areas of review show him to be feeling more comfortable with applying what he knows. The math assessment problem solving shows him to be good with fractions, reciprocals, long division, area and perimeters of quadrilaterals, reading graphs, reducing fractions, and doing some commonsense calculations when starting a problem, i.e., where reasonable answers fall. For the next meeting I will copy his math table of contents and start to review what he's studied this school year, including more practice problems as well."

"Today, we went over the topics that were going to be on the student's final exam for geometry. We spent some time on special triangles but the majority of the time was spent on circles. We went over secant, tangent, cords, major and minor arcs. She seemed more comfortable after the session and was confident she would do well on her exam. "

"Today, the student and I discussed his homework. He had a chapter quiz paper for the book Maroo of the Winter Caves. He was able to answer all questions correctly and reference his answer to a particular page in the book. We then worked on his vocabulary packet, the concept being covered was compound words. He was able to complete this work with very little help using his deductive reasoning skills. Next, we discussed his Social Studies handout. He stated that Social Studies was his favorite subject in school . They were studying Ancient Civilizations -Fertile Crescent. He answered all questions correctly, we put all his work in his binder. I then reviewed his school binder and looked over work that had been returned to him by his teacher. We discussed how he had all the correct answers yet points were taken off for grammar. We went back and double-checked his homework making necessary grammar corrections. Finally, I had him read to me from his book, stopping to discuss character traits and vocabulary. I gave him a helpful tip that as he reads to keep a stack of post its by his book, and when he comes across a word he doesn't know to write it on the post it to look up later. Next session is scheduled for Tuesday."

"I was taken away by the drastic improvement in the student's math skills as she most recently showed me her grade on her quiz which was 80! What an improvement. I am very happy and honored to have been impacting her in such a positive and quick way. Today we worked on questions she got incorrect on the quiz and her homework sets that involved unit rate, constant ratio, and constant of proportionality. She had some trouble in the beginning but quickly learned how to tackle these questions. She is well on her way to be able to tackle these questions on her own and I am glad that she has made much improvement since the time I have started to tutor her."

"The student and I worked mainly with English and Reading today. He scored a 31 on his last English test. We went over the wrong ones, mostly punctuation and word choice, and focused on those when we were practicing later. In Reading we covered natural sciences and humanities. By next week, he will have taken a reading test that will help us focus on any additional problems that he has."

"Student 1 and I reviewed multiple concepts covering forces and motion. We discussed distance and displacement (vector - magnitude and direction). We also discussed vector addition and did several examples. We then discussed forces and friction (sliding, rotating, static, and fluid). We also covered speed, velocity, and acceleration. Overall, he had a good grasp of these concepts and their relation to each other. Student 2 and I went over questions for her density lab as well as conjugated verbs for her Spanish class."

"The student and I reviewed material from earlier chapters in his statistics course. Concepts of measures of location, dispersion, statistical notation, discrete Vs, continuous random variables, and z-scores were covered."

"The student and I spent today's session prepping for his test on Tuesday on units 6-2 and 6-3 on adding and subtracting and simplifying complex and rational fractions. He demonstrated agility in adding and subtracting fractions. When simplifying fractions, he solved the problems quickly. After going through the problems, I left him with five more to try to review on his own in preparation for his quiz."

"The student and I worked on dividing trinomials by monomials and by binomials. She was struggling with the concept, so we worked on many of the fundamentals. I showed her how to use the GCF and see what was leftover. She completed the homework assigned by her teacher and I directed as she worked. At the end we worked on the chapter review as suggested by her classroom teacher, in preparation for an upcoming quiz."

"We specifically covered arc lengths of a parametrized curve, first and second derivatives of parametrized curves, u-substitution, volume for a solid of revolution and integration by parts. I broke down the signs as to when to use which type of integration method. "
