"We worked through a review packet that had a variety of derivative problems. The student mastered simplifying and speed, which was a goal we were working towards meeting. "

"We reviewed the topics from the student's class in preparation for their end-of-course exams. We mainly covered exponents and the various rules of exponents, including problems that combined multiple rules. In addition, we went over finding area and perimeter of shapes when the given side is in the form that includes variables such as a triangle with a base of X+2 and H of x^2. The student was truly grasping all of the topics well. She completed the problems with ease and great understanding."

"The student and I went through his Final Exam review packet. We mostly covered equations of conic sections, and their various applications. He is doing well with the more recent material (sector area and arc length). He is struggling slightly with some of the older concepts as they are complex and have not been reviewed for some time. However, as we went through the session, he began to remember the material. I have asked him to continue working through the review packet, and I believe by the end of the following session, he will improve exponentially with regards to the earlier material. His challenge is simply remembering what he had previously learned."

"Today the student and I covered a new topic. We left our last session with the point-slope formula, so we began today with covering the practice problem from a week ago that asked to find the equation of a line with the given slope and point. After a little recap of the material, he and I were able to walk through each step. After the practice problem we jumped right into triangles - his current topic in class. We looked at his homework, which required him to solve for x, an angle of interest, and then name the kind of triangle based on its angles. In the process, we not only covered how to solve for an exterior angle given two interior angles, but also established the difference between labeling a triangle based on its sides vs. its angles. After we figured out an explanation that made the most sense and defined that the sum of a triangle's angles is 180 deg, he was able to get the hang of it. We were able to get through most of the problems within our time frame, but I left him with five problems on his homework to do as practice over the weekend. "

"In this session, we mainly focused on a HW assignment that the student had that was based off of unit circles and special triangles. Once we did a couple of problems, we revisited the derivation, and he understood how to derive the triangles without memorizing them. He was quick to figure out how to reflect the angles across the x and y axis, and he was able to complete the rest of the sheet without my help."

"The student had a great session this morning. We spent the first hour reviewing for her upcoming exam, and spent the last thirty minutes reviewing for her final, because she was already very prepared for her exam. She told me that she felt relatively confident about the essay portion of her exam, and she seemed to know the material inside and out, so I'm confident for the upcoming multiple choice portion. Great job!"

"Today the student wanted to go over rates. She struggles with these problems so we tackled a number of them from the practice sets. I stressed to her the importance of working with units (dimensional analysis) and we worked through a number of rate problems to solidify how to set them up and how to solve them quickly. We then moved onto finding consecutive integers as she struggled with this on previous practice tests. We ended by discussing how to find the nth term in a series, as she was not familiar with that equation. We worked through a number of examples to solidify the concept and by the end of it she was working through them without issue. We are meeting for 1 more hour tomorrow for some final review before her SSAT on Saturday. "

"The student was very receptive to the advice I gave him. While he claimed the Writing and Language section were most difficult, he seemed to have a great grasp on grammar concepts. He needs to work on identifying the main ideas and arguments in passages, which we are working on during our next session in regard to the essay. We discussed strategies such as plugging in answer choices and reading the options aloud to hear the problems in sentence structure."

"As always, getting the student to actually do his work was a bit of a struggle, but once he buckled down, he got two of his missing assignments finished. Now he just has to turn them in! One was the compass quiz on missing angles, and the other was redoing the scarecrow worksheet."

"We worked on the student's reading, spelling, and writing during this session. We worked with books sent home from school, practicing her reading comprehension and fluency. We also did a practice spelling test with her Level 14 words, and she practiced writing them as well."

"We worked on the concepts of factors and LCM. Then we focused on his multiplication facts, specifically on his 3's. The strategies we worked on were writing his 3's times tables by skip counting, then saying the actual problem over and over again. Then we did it without looking and just saying it aloud. Lastly, he worked on a mixed number set using his 3's set. His homework was to practice saying his 3's times table all night long so we can kick the habit of using his fingers. I gave him a challenge to wow me tomorrow by knowing his 3's times table. "

"Today the student went over his essay for his English class, specifically writing the conclusion and editing the last draft. We focused mainly on removing unnecessary words from writing. He didn't have any major struggles, but just general room for improvement in writing. I included the strategy of rereading essays and removing unnecessary words like "just", "sometimes", and "maybe" as well as specifying unclear words like "it" and "thing." As I left, I told him to reread the rough draft we started with and the edited one we finished with, and take note of the differences, like what makes the second more clear than the first."
