"The student and I spent the session going over the material that is going to be on his quiz tomorrow. His quiz covers sections 6.5 and 6.6, which involve working and graphing radical and powered functions (x^2 x^1/2 x^3, and so forth). We spent the second half of the session reviewing his homework assignment for sections 7.1 and 7.2, which cover working with exponential growth and decay function and graphing them."

"Last week, the student and I continued working with creating equations and converting them between the different forms (standard, point-slope, and slope-intercept). She is doing very well with this concept and didn't need much correction on these problems; she just wanted me to double-check her work. We then began working on graphical transformations and took note of a list of the ways a graph can change based on the part of the equation that has changed. "

"Today the student and I focused on analyzing functions in preparing for his test this week. He feels comfortable with the material and simply needs to focus on paying attention to details when analyzing graphs. He is getting better at reading instructions carefully and the accuracy of his work improved immensely when he checked back over his work, which he plans to do on his test."

"We covered the idea of exponential functions and how the determination for increasing vs. decreasing is made based on the "a" in question (for y = a^x). Instead I reiterated some things from our previous session covering functions and their inverses, mentioning how x as the independent variable, and its horizontal orientation, are just arbitrarily assigned conventions. If the vertical variable were considered the independent one, then horizontal line tests would establish whether or not a relation was a function and instead it would be vertical line tests establishing compliance with the one-to-one quality. For fun I showed how you could invert a quadratic if you first restricted the domain to prevent horizontal line test failure."

"The student and I spent the first 1:15 working on sections 6.1-6.3 as he missed these lessons in school. These sections were on solving systems of equations using graphing, elimination, and substitution. As he did not have much prior experience with these concepts, it took him a bit to understand, but by the end of the session he had little trouble with any of these subjects. He and I spent the last hour of our session working on a review sheet he had for homework on chapter 16. He had little trouble with the concepts in chapter 6. However, we did have one word problem with systems of equations that we worked on which took quite a bit of time for him to understand. He can do well with straightforward word problems, where the variables and equations are easily defined, but when the problems are switched up, he has trouble understanding. "

"The student and I reviewed her 4s facts at the start of the session. She appears to have a handle on these facts through 4X10. We then moved on to some long division practice, as this is what she mentioned she is currently working on in math class. After practicing a few problems, she began to get the hang of the steps involved in long division. She still requires support to ensure she completes each step in the correct order. We will work to strengthen these skills in future sessions to ensure she can build on them as she progresses with long division. "

"Today mostly consisted of getting to know each other and where the student stands regarding his courses. He appears to understand not only the concepts with regard to physics and math but also the manner in which to solve a majority of the problems. I made suggestions with regard to enhancing his understanding of the criteria. For example, I made sure he understood that simply memorizing the material is insufficient, and understanding the material goes much further than memorization. I learned that for today's high school student, the teachers do not let the students keep their tests after they have been graded. In lieu of this, I suggested he write down the problems he was incorrect on for review at a later time once his graded tests are handed back temporarily. We then reviewed some linear rational functions before discussing our next time to meet."

"The student and I worked on her online math assignment. I explained to her that in order to solve these types of problems you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem and showed her the formula. We worked through the problems together, identifying which leg on the given right triangles were given and which we needed to solve for. By the end of the session, she had a good understanding of the material and knew how to solve the problems on her own. She completed the math assignment with 100%. She worked hard throughout the session and felt confident about the material."

"We went over chapter 11 and learned square roots! It was new material and a little bit harder than the last chapter, but I am sure after practice, the student will be fine. And a 95 on her test!! WOOHOO!!!"

"Today when I met with the student we went over some questions that he had on some problems from the work he did on his final exam review. We then proceeded to work on the rest of the exam. He seems to understand and recall most of the material we worked on over this semester. I believe that if he completes the exam review and goes over everything after doing so then he will be very well prepared for this exam. Judging from his performance today I believe he is going to do well on his final exam. "

"The student and I worked on a review of his physics homework on electrostatics. The student likes to read through the problems very quickly and select an answer, so I tried to remind him to take his time to carefully read the problem so that he wouldn't make any small reading errors. With discussion, he became much more confident in his understanding of electrostatics. We had a little bit of time at the end of the session, so we started looking over his review guide for his algebra final. We were able to spend some time practicing factoring. I told the student to continue to work on the packet before our next session on Tuesday, and circle any problems that give him difficulty. "
