"We covered linear functions and matrices. We then converted the word problem to math expressions. The student has a final test to review areas where he needs help. With the test score, we will be able to better assess where the student needs help."

"We covered various topics from 6th grade math. The main portion of the lesson covered geometry topics: different types of angles, types of triangles, finding the area of triangles, similar triangles, and finding the volume of prisms. About half an hour of the session covered basic statistics. The student had no trouble with mean, median, and mode, so we focused on finding quartiles and creating box plots. There were a few mistakes or missing information in her workbook explanations. I made sure to help her correct the mistakes, and explained why they were wrong by providing a concrete example. In the last 10 to 15 minutes we went over adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions or a combination of fractions and decimals. I mentioned to her that she should practice the long division method even with small numbers. She should practice her basic arithmetic and multiplication tables to help conserve time. I came up with additional examples from each topic for her to try, and she did well solving the problems. She seems to be, like many students, the type of student who simply learns more easily and faster in a one-on-one or small group setting rather than a large classroom. "

"We went over the student's homework (she did really well!) and worked on some math and reading passages. She still struggles with some general math concepts, but overall is improving. She is remembering specific strategies for solving problems, which is awesome! We covered: equations, averages, Pyth. theorem, fractions, angles, number lines, linear equations, and combination problems. We worked through #1-20 on p. 450 (test 3). We're going to focus our time on problems #1-20 so she can become more comfortable before we move onto #20-40. We worked through the specific line questions on p. 472-473. HOMEWORK: English, Reading"

"The student worked through his worksheet on trigonometric functions. We talked about amplitude, period, horizontal and vertical shifts. We also worked on graphing functions using this information. He was able to check his work using the answer key. He seemed to have a much better grasp of the material as we went on. "

"Today we had a general review covering percentages, fractions and decimals, and we also saw building tables, graphing their data and setting the rule from which that data came from. He was great with the problems."

"Today we worked mostly on vertices, edges, and faces of polyhedrons. The student does fine at it. We also discussed some issues she was having with force-body diagrams. Her diagrams were fine, she just needed to double check and make sure her equations were right."

"The student has a test on conic sections this week, so re reviewed that content. We focused on parabolas and ellipses, and we went over how to sketch them to get a mental picture and check our work. By the end, he was doing very well, and we very briefly touched on hyperbolas at the end of his session."

"We covered all the topics for the second half of the student's midterm. There was a number of topics on his review, some of which he simply forgot how to do. Once we began going through it, he would quickly remember the concept and was able to explain it to me. For the ones he had issues with, we went through together and also reviewed some examples in the textbook."

"Today was a good first session. A lot of what I did today was figure out what math the student is doing and how well he is doing at it. He is now covering the beginning of Algebra I, so there are a lot of pre-algebra concepts. He is good with decimals, but struggles with fractions. We covered a couple fraction rules and how to apply them. We also worked on simplification of fractions and solving for a single variable. I taught him slope-intercept form, since he either hadn't been taught it yet or had forgotten it. These math sessions will largely be going through his curriculum and filling in the holes in his knowledge, wherever they happen to be. "

"Today's session with the student consisted of reviewing past material from the beginning of the course in order to establish a heightened sense of comfort and confidence in the current material. We covered creating linear and exponential functions from word problems, concavity, points of inflection, and associated extrema. We also briefly covered the concept of limits and went more in depth about the definition of a derivative in the form of a limit. He seemed to understand the material better, and he had no problem following along and taking in all of the information presented to him. Since the beginning of our sessions, he does appear more comfortable and less intimidated by the problems we encounter. I think that it's a sign that we are moving in the right direction. He was left with homework that we will go over for tomorrow's session, and if there is time, we will review derivative rules and concepts. "

"We went through different kind of chemical reactions. I explained the concepts and we solved several questions together. Then we went through her geometry questions and I explained how she can use trigonometry properties to solve each questions. She understood them and she needs to practice more on them. "
