"The student worked math this afternoon. First, she took a test of 16 multiple choice questions on functions and scored 14 correct answers. The test also had short answer questions. The student learned to think of a function as a "machine" that does a "job" or rule. The machine takes in x's, applies the rule, and gives answers that are y's. A function is also the same as an in-out table with a rule -- or a graph in the (x, y) plane. Then the student learned how to combine like terms. The degree of a term is the exponent on the variable. The student has a higher grade in math than she did when we started working together, having gained confidence and skills. She also has a strong foundation of prior knowledge. "

"Concepts: Similar figures, proportions, corresponding parts of similar figures, rotations, reflections. Attitude: Positive. Enthusiastic to work on problems. Strategies/Study Skills: Go over the question looking for what they want you to find and what information they have given you. Think of it as a path where the given information is the start and what you want to find is at the end. We went over past assignments looking at what problems were incorrect. I used questions to help guide the student to figuring out why his initial answer was not correct and why the correct answer was supported by the information in the problem."

"The student had a book that she was practicing with, which she read to me. She did very well sounding out words she had difficulty with. We then began practicing again with the vocabulary flashcards and she did much better this time. Her ability to combine letter sounds into words is becoming stronger."

"The student and I worked together using an SAT preparatory book. We mostly worked on math exercises from this book by having her do one of the exercises first followed by us going over the exercise together and re-doing problems that she had trouble with. We mostly worked on fractions, word problems, geometry and functions. We also discussed some testing strategies related to the math section of the SAT. Before the next tutoring session, I asked her to check out a practice book from the local library and complete the reading and math section of one of the practice tests so that I could better identify the areas she needs more help with in subsequent sessions. We will be going over this test in the next class. "

"To start off our second session, the student and I spent some time talking about her impressions of her Latin class this year. She seemed overall prepared and fairly confident. We then transitioned into talking about the topic she had covered in class that week: demonstrative pronouns. To start, we spent a few minutes discussing the types of pronouns in Latin, what each means, and how to translate them accurately. We then looked at the forms of the two specific demonstrative pronouns that she was expected to memorize. To help with her memorization, I encouraged her to try and see patterns within the forms, and to draw similarities between the forms of the pronouns and the noun paradigms she had already learned. We also discussed different techniques for memorization, including chanting, writing each word down several times, and making flashcards. Then, we looked over her homework assignment and worked through the first few questions together. I encouraged her to take the lead here, and provided guidance and tips rather than answers. To finish our session, we spent about 20 minutes reviewing vocabulary. She displayed a pretty thorough mastery of the words for which she had made flashcards this week. I asked her to make flashcards for another 5 chapters worth of material, which we will review next week. With a bit more work at memorization, the student will be well on her way to success in Latin.

"The student and I continued to work on slope. We've incorporated a lot of colorful diagrams into her notebook. I've noticed that her attitude towards math itself has gotten much more relaxed compared to the high-stress sessions we had about a month ago. She is doing very well in her class."

"The student and I started the review for his algebra II final. We looked at number sets, system of linear equations, and solving by elimination or substitution. We will continue the review on Wednesday."

"The student handed in his Letter to a Lord essay today, after completing an outline and 2 full drafts. We went over the final essay and talked about logic and structure within paragraphs. We made a few changes and will address the teacher's comments as soon as available. I had him write an on-the-spot paragraph, and he responded well. I'd call it a B+. I will be assigning him a paragraph every other day or so until our next session while the class finishes reading Romeo and Juliet. "

"The student did a good job today. She understands how to do a dihybrid cross and she expressed remembrance of the concepts we went over last week. She seems to get the following two concepts confused: the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment. I will email a brief explanation of both so she can review them over the weekend. I also encouraged her to finish her worksheet so we can review it on Tuesday before her exam."

"The student worked on a class project involving linear functions for the national debt and population growth. She had to develop linear equations for the population growth and the growth in national debt, then calculate debt per person at given intervals. We also worked on the amount of national debt assuming an interest rate compounded annually in 5, 10, and 15 years. We also calculated the time in years before the national debt doubles at a compound interest rate of 8 percent annually."

"The student and I covered generally solving for sample sizes given a confidence interval, then we focused on the central limit theorem (having a three-minute video on the central limit theorem to solidify the topic). Next we focused on sampling distribution problems after she answered one of those problems wrong (but due to misreading the descriptive paragraph). In the future, I think it would be helpful practicing word problems, as these will constitute the most common of problems. She indicated she sometimes struggles with these types due to English being her second language. We'll continue to work on this in our next session. "

"The student had his weekly online quiz covering inequalities and he got all five questions correct. Then we worked on a two page worksheet involving angles and arcs of circles with tangents, secants, and lines intersecting the circles. He tried each problem and I checked his work. We finished all of the problems without much difficulty. "
