"Today we reviewed the chapter for the student's upcoming test. We went over problems involving how to find vectors given magnitude and direction angles, resultant vectors and its magnitude/direction angles. There were also word problems involving these concepts and we clarified how they are similar, just different situations. We also reviewed formulas from the beginning of the chapters such as Law of Sine, Law of Cosine, and Area formulas for Oblique Triangles as well as the ambiguous case of one or two triangles for Law of Sine. A good strategy I told her for word problems was to draw it out and make triangles relative for the x-axis. She was very involved in this session and asking questions she knew she had issues with or needed review with."

"In Thursday's lesson, the student reviewed properties of ellipses and hyperbolas, the math for which is closely related. She does very well to understand the material as she solves, and she picks up quickly the distinctions between various calculations within these conic sections. She's starting to enjoy the solving process as well, which is fantastic."

"The student is a very independent and focused worker who also does a great job with not being afraid to ask questions or get help when needed. I would like to work with her to help her expand her vocab to help her better prepare for the challenging texts that she will read in the future."

"The students have Current Events presentations in the near future, so we spent some time looking over those. Student 1 has his presentation tomorrow, so he did a practice run to make sure he was in the right time frame. He also finished up his flash cards. Student 2 was just beginning to work on his project, so I helped him put together his argument and talked him through the basic development of the arc of his presentation. After we'd finished this, we spent our remaining time reviewing vocabulary for a Language Arts test they have tomorrow. "

"We covered similar triangles, flowchart reasoning, and conjectures (AA, SSS, SAS). The student did not struggle with the concepts, and she showed a positive attitude toward the material. I told her a trick on how to turn simple fractions into decimal form, by remembering multiples of the denominator, and recognizing squares of specific values."

"The student and I used some strategies to practice with an English II exam, revising and editing a passage. We took turns reading it out loud together, and made notes of anything we noticed that had errors or could be improved before looking at any of the multiple choice questions. When looking at the multiple choice questions, I showed her how to explain why each incorrect answer choice was wrong, so that she could be absolutely certain of the correct answer. At first, it was difficult for her to see differences in the answer choices, and it was hard for her to identify why they were incorrect. I was happy to see that she got more and more confident as we went along, and needed very little assistance toward the end of our session. She worked very hard during our session. It was a pleasure to work with her. I emailed another passage to her mom so that she could print it out and practice the strategies that we used today. "

"The student and I looked at how to graph hyperbolas. Previously she was graphing ellipses and circles. We also reviewed how to complete the square. At the end of the session we went over pedigree charts for AP Bio. "

"We covered finding the slope of line based on coordinates as well as using unknowns to solve for m. Additionally, we covered the digestive system and the student did some homework for his science class. He needed some guidance on how to start some questions and how to apply rules, but overall showed good understanding of the basic principles. His attitude was very positive, and he was very receptive to new material and a pleasure to work with. I left him with some questions to look over/ redo later so that he can get a strong understanding of how to solve for complicated problems he encountered on the homework."

"I used this session to assess both students. I will use the results of this assessment to move forward with a plan for instruction. We covered word problems, place value, measurement, math facts, and counting. I will put together a more comprehensive email to send to their teacher of how I plan to tutor both students in our upcoming sessions. "

"We covered finding the area of regular polygons. The student was struggling the most with doing math using radicals and finding the area of a parallelogram. The student was determined to understand the topics being reviewed and completed many practice problems on her own. "

"We worked through questions from a sample Accuplacer test. In addition, the student had attempted some problems on his own, and he had some questions about alternate solutions. He continues to have an excellent attitude. "
