"The student and I worked through her assigned homework, problem by problem. I also look through her book to future sections so that I will know what's coming up. I saw that she had SAT prep materials, and we talked about college admissions, her academic interests, and what I may be able to do to help her prepare for the SAT in addition to her math course."

"The student and I continued to discuss quantum theory, the wave/particle/dual models of light, the photoelectric effect, and the relationships between energy, wavelength, frequency, and wave speed on the electromagnetic spectrum. We completed many practice problems finding wavelength from frequency or energy and vice versa. We also covered converting units, and identifying which regions of the EM spectrum are associated with particular frequencies/wavelengths/energy levels."

"The student and I met at his house from 8:05 to 9:55. We went over a couple of Calculus concepts at the beginning regarding integration of trig functions before moving to angular velocity and acceleration and linear velocity and acceleration. "

"The student is still having some trouble when switching between positive and negative signs when solving for an unknown variable. I wrote down notes containing aspects he should focus on when approaching the homework problems. He is learning Mandarin at a pretty quick speed. I am also trying to teach him the more commonly used words and phrases."

"The student and I met today at her home to begin preparing her to take the exam in early September. Mostly, we discussed test-taking strategies as outlined by one of my old test prep books. We started out going over strategies for success in the verbal section and moved into math toward the end of our session. She plans to have her own test preparatory book by our next meeting. "

"The student did about half of her language arts assignment during the first 40 minutes of our session. I finished the session by quizzing her on counting, number-line facts and basic addition, using several highly-rated learning tools that I downloaded onto my tablet. My plan going forward is to periodically drill her on these fundamentals."

"The student and I began our review of the math questions she missed on the diagnostic test. She is clearly strong in math, as she was able to quickly and easily follow as I explained the best process for solving each question she missed. On many questions, the student had made them more difficult than was necessary, and she was encouraged to learn the simpler ways to work these problems. Overall, I think that with practice she should be able to bring her math score up significantly just by learning how to "translate" the SAT questions to the skills that she already knows. I asked her to complete another practice test either this week or on Saturday morning before we meet. "

"Today I met with the student to continue prep for the ISEE test. We began the session by going over a practice essay I assigned him to write. We focused on what needed to be fixed and how he should structure his essay. We then completed practice drills in verbal reasoning and comparison math questions. At the end of the session, I assigned him another practice essay to complete for the next time we meet."

"For this particular session we worked on her reading comprehension. I was able to bundle an expository selection, persuasive piece, and literary piece into today's lesson. Upon reading each selection we worked together to complete the practice items. This really helped me to see where the student's strength's are and were she is weak. "

"I have been keeping the structure of my sessions with the student consistent because she has been making significant progress. We started with a quick write. It gets her engaged and gives me a chance to go over her assignment from the previous week. Last week, I had her write about her life four years ago. It gave her the chance to do some introspective writing. Afterwards, we continued writing our collaborative story. It is going well and she is starting to create characters, scenes, and dialogue with relative ease. We finished our session by working on public speaking. She is much better at standing still and maintaining eye contact. For next week, she will write a persuasive story about what changes she would make if she was the principal of her school. She will pitch her ideas to me at the end of our next session. "

"We spent today continuing on a review of Chemistry for the student. We covered the wave/particle dual nature of light and emission spectra, moving from there into electron orbitals and energy states. We also did some review of the things we spent time on the previous night, as he has a test in the next few days."
