"We went over the Problem of the Day. The importance of doing these problems in this way is to really understand how problems are solved and the different ways that they can be solved. Once he gets used to these ideas I think he might find it more interesting. Again, I'm so impressed with his reading skills and his comprehension. He has a good understanding of vocabulary. His strategies for breaking new words apart are strong. We also went over meters, measurements, kilometers, etc. He catches on very quickly when it comes to conversions."

"Student did a good job today. We worked on his math worksheet for his test on Tuesday. He still needs a little help with telling time. We also worked on his new spelling list and we had to write sentences for them. He also had to read for 25 minutes. We also studied for some science terms that he just received on Tuesday. "

"Tonight, the student and I checked his writing assignment one last time. It was now complete, so I gave him a new assignment to describe three different types of cars. We also finished defining the newest vocabulary list. He already knew several of the words, fortunately, and it appears learning this new list will not be too difficult."

"We spent the first hour working through a lab report that was due tomorrow. The student had performed a lab on the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions, and he plotted his data on two line graphs. We also reviewed the analysis, conclusion, and questions for the lab report. The student seemed to have a good understanding of the lab and had little trouble answering the questions and analyzing his data. We spent the remainder of the session reviewing material we went over on Sunday in preparation for the student's quiz tomorrow. In particular, we discussed the important elements for each A group on the periodic table, along with the properties characteristic of each A group. Otherwise, we reviewed Mendeleev's conception of the Periodic Table and went through the review questions at the end of the chapter, numbers 1-35. I think the student is quite prepared for his quiz, though I advised him to look again at the last section of the chapter before he takes his quiz. "

"The student and I worked together through the English sections of some practice SAT exams. We spent the first hour on reading comprehension and the second on synonyms and analogies. Along the way we discussed strategies too, such as reading the passage before the questions, marking key words, and paying special attention to the first and last sentences of paragraphs. We picked apart words that he didn't recognize and I shared with him any information I had about etymologies and roots of those words. He also wrote down any unfamiliar words to make flash cards later."

"During my session with the student today, we worked on reviewing for her midterm that is scheduled for Wednesday. The student thought it would be best to skip the theoretical questions and focus on the mathematical problems. We spent most of our time working through how to choose the correct formula from her formula sheet. On her exams, the student needs to be able to choose a formula from a comprehensive list of possibilities. The student expressed to me that she is mainly concerned about bringing up her exam grades since her overall grade in the class is above average. We discussed methods to narrow down the equations by setting up the variables and constants. After our initial meeting, the student told me that she scored a 102 on her quiz. "

"Today the student and I went over her reading and writing section math taking skills. Specifically, how to approach the reading and writing section to maximize time and minimize effort, but still remain efficacious. Additionally, we spent time reviewing all the homework I had given her to work through and helped her brush up on some basic geometry and algebra skills."

"Worked with the student on math, vocabulary, reading, and the analogy section. I am trying to give her a good foundation for preparation she can do on her own as well. She is making good progress through everything."

"I helped the student write and complete part 1 of her English project. We reviewed chapter 7 vocabulary for Spanish. We discussed time management and study techniques to prepare for the next few days so she can complete most of her work before her upcoming trip"

" The student and I reviewed applications of the Pythagorean Theorem. We solved for the horizon distance from the height of a building. We reviewed angle theorems to solve for unknown angles and parallel lines with transversals. The student is doing well. She scored a 90% on her last quiz and I expect her to do well on her test tomorrow."

"I met the student and she introduced me to her challenges with pre algebra. She seems to remember the formulas, operations and steps, she just makes small errors, mostly involving negatives. We did some practice until she felt comfortable. I also cleared up some questions she had regarding graphs. She is both eager to learn and open to questions. I advised her to make note of any confusing areas in the next week so we can most effectively manage our time next session."
