"Today the student completed a math problem set. His performance has improved, and we will continue working to further develop his math skills."

"The student and I went through adding fractions with similar denominators and adding fractions with different denominators. Once he remembers the "common denominator" rule, he can use it effortlessly. We then went through a practice state exam. We'll go over these problems in our next session."

"The student and I read the information from his practice packet concerning how to solve the different types of logarithmic and exponential functions. He was a pro with the material by the end of our session."

"I suggested that the student continue to practice by doing a few of each question type to keep the strategies fresh in her mind. She is aiming for an overall score close to 1800. Right now, she is around 1600, but if she continues to do practice tests between now and January when she takes the test again, I think she is capable of getting closer to her goal."

"We reviewed the homework assignment over trigonometry identities. The student struggled the most with starting the problem. As we continued to work through the problems, he started to feel confident. "

"We practice more of the order of operation. I put more material on the student's study guide I made for her. An example is remembering how many decimal places are needed for multiplying decimals. I also reminded the student of the importance of checking her work."

"The student and I covered quadratic equations, the different forms, what they look like and how they behave. We also went over the important points along the functions and how to identify them properly. At the beginning of the session, she stated that she was having trouble understanding what the minimum and maximum meant for a quadratic functions. By the end of the session, she felt much more comfortable with this topic and was able to successfully solve all of the problems that I gave her to work on. "

"We reviewed the material for the student's test which included systems of equations, graphing inequalities, and some word problems. First we finished his review and then I made some word problems for him to practice. He understood how to solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. After practicing with graphing, he had gotten very good at it. His main problem was word problems and setting up the equations. I made practice problems for him and he improved. We will continue to work on that. "

"We tackled some challenge problems, and the student finished the homework. A few things to keep in mind: when adding a positive number, you always move to the right on the number line. In other words, the value becomes greater. When you add a negative number, you move left. You can always turn subtraction into addition by switching the sign of the second term."

"The student and I spent the entire day covering the geometry of circles in preparation for her upcoming test. Most of this time was spent on how to define circles in a coordinate plane, how to graph them from an equation, and how to find an equation from a graph. We also spent some time discussing properties of chords and how to find the lengths of chords, tangent lines, and secants. I left her with a study guide that lists almost all the formulas and theorems she will need to know for her test, along with some practice problems that she can do at her own pace and email me if she wishes to have corrections. I think the most important thing for her to focus on before the test is to make sure she memorizes all the important formulas and theorems and can recall them on command. When she has the formulas in front of her, she generally solves the problems well."

"The student worked on his homework assignment on the ideal gas law, which he seems to understand well. To prepare for his test on Tuesday, we worked on limiting reactant problems and the study guide for the exam. More practice with excess reactant problems specifically would be helpful. "
