"In today's session with the student, we reviewed probability, combinations, and permutations. He had a test today and so he wanted to go over a few problems that he found confusing on the test. Overall, he told me the first part of his test went rather well. He didn't struggle with any concept in particular, and we mostly used this session to strengthen his confidence in this material. We worked on using both the formula and slot method to solve permutations. I asked him to work on some probability problems from his textbook for extra practice. I look forward to hearing about how he does on the rest of his exam."

"The student and I went over his last math test, which he failed. He is allowed to retake the test on Monday, so we practiced several problems until he was doing them himself correctly. We will meet again to resume studying for the test."

"We began the session by discussing any important projects or upcoming tests, including her finals for the next 2 weeks. She informed me that she was currently working on a language arts project on a local historical shoe company, where skills in research and reference seeking were being utilized for an in-class project. I asked her if she needed any help, and I was able to help her get access to the list of eligible resources that she could use for this project, so she could finish the project as needed from home. Then, we moved onto her reading assignment which was based on hyperboles and personification. I briefly explained the two literary concepts to her, and she was able to complete the remaining questions on her assignment that she had not finished during school hours. We proceeded to her math assignment which focused on mean, median and mode. The questions used two different charts of numerical data on animals in order to calculate and analyze the three mathematical concepts. She did not show any struggle with completing her math assignment. I just had to make sure that the assignment was completed within our session. We also discussed her agenda for her upcoming finals within the next 2-3 weeks. I asked her to forward me her special finals schedule in time for tomorrow's session, so that we could begin preparing for her finals sufficiently. I also advised her to spend any remaining spare time later this evening to study for tomorrow's social studies quiz on the European Renaissance and the science test on rocks and minerals if she hadn't done so already."

"The student and I worked on preparation for an upcoming test on logarithm and rational functions. His overall understanding of the concepts is fine, he just needs to avoid making some algebraic errors, which we encountered during the course of the session and addressed. We will meet as needed in the future. "

"We did a review for chapter 4 exam. Most of the concepts the student has mastered, and only a few problems need more self review. Good luck and get better over break!"

"We studied for the student's Physics and Pre-Cal tests tomorrow. She has a very good grasp on the physics material, and she will do fine on the Pre-Cal if she remembers to convert the rate percent into a decimal and to subtract the principal amount from the total amount to find the profit for a period, in terms of the effective rate."

"We continued to work on stats - different types of studies (observational, survey, experiment), biased or unbiased samples, and calculating probability. The student has a test on this on Friday. Next week, we will be meeting to go over the information that will be on her semester exam."

"The client is taking advanced statistics and needed help understanding the concepts behind bivariate correlation and linear regression. We took an example from her test preparation from her instructor and went over every part. We discussed how to interpret and report the test statistics (for hand-calculated formulas and for SPSS). Next session we will explore multiple regression and build on the simpler concepts of simple linear regression."

"Today we prepared for the student's biology midterm that will be held on Tuesday. She did fairly well with the material. We reviewed about half of the material and she had about a 70-80% grasp of it. If she sincerely studies tomorrow and Monday, I believe she will be ready and do well. "

"Today the student finished up a challenge problem from the pink bonus worksheet. We also reviewed plotting points on a graph and talked about what those points represented conceptually. We discussed how the points are part of linear equations that can be graphed as a line with a slope. These linear equations are functions of variables. He did a good job focusing and time flew by. He is getting faster at plotting points and connecting key concepts (axes, coordinates, variables, slope, equations, etc.). "

"This time we talked about using the gradient of a function of several variables in order to find the critical points of the function. The student seemed to definitely have the right idea with this. We discussed how in this class, a minor algebra mistake in the beginning of the problem will throw the answer way off track in the end. We agreed that she should be more careful when performing calculations and once she takes care of that, I feel she will do extremely well on this section of material. "

"We specifically covered geometry which I will review for our next session. I assisted the student in better ways to tackle problems such as drawing diagrams and then solving for solutions. I assisted students in working smarter such as not converting to fractions just because he is uncomfortable with decimals. I taught student how to do the decimals. Student was very courteous and hard working. "
