"The student has improved substantially in her ability to manipulate linear equations and uni-variable expressions, and perhaps even more so with setting up word problems. She has mastered the functions effortlessly. She has an exam coming up, so this will shed some light on how well she knows the math subjects so far."

"The student and I went over exponents and radicals. We made sure that she was caught up and ready to take the quiz and test on the material."

"We completed a review packet in preparation for the student's upcoming test on trigonometry. Topics included trig identities, determining all possible solutions to trigonometric equations, trigonometric verifications, the compound and half angle identities, and the law of sines and cosines."

"We covered inverse-varying functions, simplifying rational expressions, identifying asymptotes and values of exclusion. We also focused on graphing functions in the form of y = a/(x+b) + c, and word problems involving work rate and substance % composition."

"We covered 20 problems in the student's SSAT prep book. The topics included: word problems on percentages, fractions, order of operations, mean/median/mode, LCM, odds/probability, etc. The student needed help mostly with order of operations and odds/probability type of questions. For the problems he did not know how to do, I would explain the concept while solving the problem. I then asked him to do the same problem without referring back to how I did it. With a few cues, he understood the newer concepts and was able to come to the same answer. I advised him to write down the steps and read the questions carefully to make sure he is not missing anything. "

"Today the student and I went through a number of ACT reading passages. I attempted to pinpoint his primary difficulties with reading and found the issue to be two-fold: his inability to grasp vocabulary to decode the passage and his unfamiliarity with the nature of standardized testing. Understanding this, I resolved to educate him in the process of finding evidence for every answer he chooses. I helped him in pinpointing the exact areas of passages that provide the information that is sought after and when he was successfully able to do this, he was often correct in finding the answer. He needs to remember to do this always. In regard to vocabulary, rather than trying for rote memory, I want to expose him to different passages that use complex vocabulary. I asked him to read the first chapter of Oliver Twist by tomorrow. We will spend time decoding that passage and also more time on the prose reading sections."

"The student showed me the math quiz she took recently. We went over the problems she did incorrectly, and I showed her how to solve them successfully. The quiz asked her to find a percentage of a total, as well as a total when given a part and the percentage. These problems also tested her knowledge on converting percentages to decimals."

"The student and I covered the last third of her chapter on the Gilded Age and then shifted into a discussion on tactics for the essay for the last thirty minutes. We have started working on a basic framework for a thesis and some of the supporting material that she should use for this essay. I also discussed tactics for transitioning paragraphs. "

"I believe today's session went very well! The student has a quest (quiz/ test) tomorrow in algebra covering the first few sections of their current chapter. We decided to complete the mid chapter quiz from the book. We completed each problem from the review and for the problems that she had trouble with, I created an additional problem of that specific type. We spent extra time on the word problems and factoring binomials with a leading coefficient. By the end of the session I felt confident, and I believe she did as well, that she could solve any problem given to her from any of the sections covered in tomorrow's quiz. Good luck to her on her quest tomorrow! I believe that she is thoroughly prepared! "

"We worked on trigonometry this week. The student understands the basic concept. Her class homework included some complicated examples with solid geometry, and we worked through some simpler problems for practice that seemed to build up her skills and confidence."

"During today's session, we reviewed sight words and practiced finding them on our word list. The student sometimes mixes up vowel sounds, so we went over them. We used magnetic letters to make words with the short u sound. She then practiced writing lowercase a. We reviewed the consonant blend sh, and she matched words to pictures. She reread the book from our last session and then read a new book. She did some writing and illustrated to match her words. We will be meeting again this weekend."

"In preparation for tomorrow's test, we solved problems related to secants, tangents, and chords in circles. We reviewed the inscribed angle theorem and the inscribed angle over the diameter theorem, and we solved problems that used congruence of radii to show congruence of various triangles inside a circle. The student is well prepared on the topic to be tested. "
