"I helped the student to prepare for the assessment math exam. We worked on fractions as well as multiplication and division problems. "

"Today, we went over most of his homework, this time working with quadratic equations and circles. The student understood parabolas pretty well, but had a harder time with circles. That being said, he learned how to complete the square in order to find the standard equation of a circle. He said he has a quiz on Thursday that he is a bit nervous for, but I think he'll do fine."

"We covered projectile motion in preparation for his test. The student is making the right steps towards analyzing the problems correctly, but he still needs to put in a significant amount of time to ensure that he fully grasps the material. I told him to use the website videos to delve deeper into the subject matter. He needs to make sure that he studies the material more before his test this week."

"We specifically went over some geometry problems and a few algebra problems. The biggest struggle in the Writing section seems to be matching singular and plural articles to their accompanying nouns. In math, we discussed giving problems that look challenging a second look before leaving them blank, because sometimes all that is needed is a redrawing or an algebraic simplification to make a seemingly hard problem easier. In preparation for Saturday's test, I assigned the student a full practice test, including the essay and the bubbling in of answers. "

"We went over conservation of momentum and impulse. We went over problems in the student's review packet. Most problems dealt with collisions of two objects and calculating the final velocity. I introduced him to a new set of equations. He seemed confused in solving questions with 2 objects with one moving and another at rest. I will emphasize this next time. Although he is doing well in his Algebra, he is slow in making a connection between physics problems and his algebra skills. He can make the connections if I remove units or change the variable from say 'v' to 'x.' We will work more on this next session."

"The student and I worked through two SAT reading comprehension passages (one social science, one fictional prose). We worked through the passages at a paragraph level to ensure comprehension and detail retention and used strategies including process of elimination, splitting answer choices, and comparing choices to reach answers on questions related to author's purpose, argument, and evidence used, as well as character attitudes. We also worked through 15 SAT math questions related to geometry, algebraic expressions, and probability. He did particularly well on the geometry questions and became more comfortable setting equations up as the session progressed. Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday."

"We practiced converting between standard and polar form for complex numbers as well as how to multiply and divide two complex numbers in polar form. We practiced using deMoivre's theorem to raise a complex number to a power. Lastly, we went through how to find the nth roots of a complex number using deMoivre's theorem and the fact that there will be n roots at equally spaced angles. The student was doing better multiplying and dividing complex numbers once we went through the formula for combining the r's and theta's to get the r and theta for the resulting complex number."

"We went over more of exponential growth functions. We applied them to examples the student had from his math program and did several examples. He is going to practice more problems by himself to be ready for his test."

"The student and I worked on rational functions, and the graphs of rational functions, including asymptotes, holes, slant asymptotes, x, and y-intercepts. Again, she didn't really know any of the content at the start of the lesson, but was doing multiple, complex problems on her own at the end with almost perfect understanding and performance."

"Today's session focused on strategies for reading academic articles. We read and discussed "How to Read a Scientific Article," an article geared toward researchers and graduate students. We applied the techniques suggested in the article -- evaluation of the source, skimming the abstract, active reading with critical questions, and note-taking -- by starting to read a journal article from the student's graduate coursework on narco-terrorism. We will continue this practice in the next session."

"Today the student and I worked on the general concepts of differentiation and integration as well as differential equations. She is having trouble applying the general calculus concepts to specific problems, and needs more practice with a variety of calculus problems. We will keep working on it. She had a positive attitude and showed a strong work ethic throughout the session."
