"We covered bounds of Taylor approximation; finding intervals of convergence and more from Taylor series. The student is doing very well. His father sent me his current grade and he is doing much better."

"We worked on a really interesting writing assignment involving stereotypes in the media and how these portrayals impact people. We used a graphic organizer to write a first draft which really helps to keep his thoughts organized on track. We also discussed certain phrases and why they might not be as clear as other word choices. I also introduced some new vocabulary and we utilized some of it in his writing. He did an excellent job!"

"Today, we reviewed the 2 practice math sections I had assigned for homework, in terms of figuring out what he made mistakes on and what he could improve on. For homework, I assigned another practice math section and a practice writing section, just so that he could stay fresh with the different kinds of problems he'll encounter on the test."

"Today was a day where we are starting to prep for the student's next test that's going to be coming up next week. From what he told me, the test is going to be over adding and subtracting decimals, which we covered a long time ago. We reviewed it, and he did great as usual, and is confident in his abilities and so am I! We have already moved on to multiplying and dividing decimals, so he should be well prepared and a couple steps ahead of his class."

"Webbing and reading comprehension were covered. I recommended the student to journal (writing music) and research her personal interest to increase her skill. "

"We covered making and interpreting histograms and frequency polygons using sample data from the book. We covered how to make these both manually and in Excel. We discussed the term class width as the difference between the high and low value in each bin. We discussed how to calculate the midpoint of each bin which is used for the frequency polygon. For study skills, I encouraged him to make maximum use of the professor's availability, whether it is office hours, email, or phone call for questions. I also highly recommend finding a study partner to work through the problems and study together to prepare for quizzes and tests."

"I covered GDP and Keynesian vs Classical and AD and AS shifters. The student initially had some struggles with the shifters, but after going over them in detail, he gained a good understanding. His attitude was fine. I reviewed the material's concepts and made up some example problems. "

"The student and I practiced simplifying an equation using ln/log to then derive it; we also worked on Rolle's theorem, the mean value theorem, and finding absolute and relative max and min's on a closed interval. "

"During our session the student and I reviewed a homework assignment from our last appointment. Then we continued to cover statistics in algebra. She grasps this concept incredibly well, and as such most of this appointment was mainly her doing her homework and me checking after each problem. She has very little problem with statistics. But, she does have trouble believing in her abilities. We will continue to work on this. "

"Today the student and I worked on relativity material. We went through her textbook together and examined the concepts associated with general and special relativity. We also went through some conceptual questions regarding changes in length, velocity, and time in accord with relativity equations. She has a good attitude about the remainder of her physics course. "

"We worked on a review of two homework assignment that would count as two test grades. It was on the concepts we've been doing for the past two weeks (rotation symmetry, similarity, circles, properties of tangents, arcs and central angles, inscribed angles and polygons, properties of chords, equations of circles, and rotations). The student did not have many questions. She was able to work on them on her own, and with the few questions she had, I guided her so at the end she was able to figure out the steps and answers on her own. "
