"The student and I practiced factoring high degree polynomials as well as graphing these factored polynomials using the concept of multiplicities. We were able to create a clear set of steps to follow whenever factoring these high degree polynomials, and the student is confident that she can factor any equation by following the steps. I left her with a couple of conceptual fill-in-the-blank questions to do on her own for our next session. She has a test coming up next Wednesday, so we will use the next session to prepare. "

"Today we learned about logarithms and exponents. I stated that exponents and logarithms are opposites. The student was eager to learn the material. I told her to memorize bases of 2 to 9 to certain powers. We practiced expanding logarithms and solving answers to certain logarithms such as finding the exponent of log base 3 of 9."

"First we talked about exponents and the functions. We picked points and drew the graphs associated with the functions. We then move to chemistry and practiced balancing ionic equations and net ionic equations. Overall, we went through the session very quickly. The student only needed me to do 1 example of each section and he did the rest of the questions by himself. He has showed a huge improvement and definitely learns from his mistakes. Great job today."

"The student and I continued our work on linear equations. We worked again on parallel and perpendicular lines and their equations. This session went slow, but we needed to work on some of the finer details of these topics."

"We reviewed strategies for must be true and main point questions. Then we did practice problems for both of those question types. For next time, the student will complete the practice problems for both of those sections in the logical reasoning bible. She'll send me questions that she had trouble with before the next session. "

"Today we worked on functions - how to evaluate them, compose them, etc. We did graphing in slope intercept form and standard form, and then we used the point slope formula to find the equations of lines going through two points. We also briefly discussed inequalities and shading regions above or below a line."

"The student and I used Skype, she shared her screen and it worked perfectly. She learned numbers before, and we practiced for the finals. She did a great job today, and she learned how to say 12 months and 7 days in Chinese. "

"In this session, we again reviewed and practiced the grammar correction, sentence correction, and paragraph improvement section of the SAT Writing questions. We also did a practice Verbal exam. In the practice test, I suggested that she try doing the longer reading passage first to see if her concentration is better at the beginning of the exam. She said she is taking the PSAT on Wednesday, so I'm hoping a good showing on that will give her confidence a boost."

"I spent this first hour learning about the student, both from his parents and from him (what he struggled with, why they sought out tutoring, etc.). I also gave him some assessments to see what he was good at and what needed work. In my opinion, he is a smart student but he struggles with some basic, below grade skills. For example, while he was able to explain the steps needed to add fractions, he made a mistake adding 2 and 7. He also seemed to be someone who had poor handwriting, which actually caused several of his mistakes. I requested that he present me with some of his homework and/or tests from school for our next session together. He and I worked well together, and I feel very strongly I can help him succeed if we continue meeting together."

"The student and I did a review of material that he had gone over in class, as well as some older concepts. Specifically, we applied linear functions to the business model and discussed how we use these functions to find useful information. We also reviewed how to graph inequalities. At the end, we looked at the Standard Form of the linear equation."

"Today the student went through a worksheet on circles. In any given problem, he was required to make use of circle formulas in order to compute the area of a shaded region in a figure. Some of these regions consisted of concentric circles, others involved sectors within a single circle, and still others involved a packing of circles within a square. During the last fifteen minutes of our session, we went through an online quiz corresponding to lesson 10.8 in his book. See you next week!"
