"We worked on the conservation of energy. We worked on problems where energy was transferred from one form to another. This made the student work with gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and kinetic energy. We set up the conservation of energy using. Ei=Ef and replacing each E with the appropriate energies. She started to gain a much better understanding of this concept now."

"Today, the student and I went over Algebra for his test on Thursday. This was mostly focusing on polynomials and the different ways to solve and apply the variables. When the student gets going on a problem, he really is intent on finding the answer. I wrote out an outline that would assist with his overall organization. He is able to do the steps, but needs to be prompted to do them because he does not always know when a certain step should happen. So I wrote out a comprehensive list of steps to check for, which worked for him when he practiced using it. He will continue practicing with the checklist until the steps to solve the problems are second nature for him."

"Today, we covered enlargements and reductions of similar polygons. We also had some time to prepare for the student's upcoming science test dealing with the distance formula."

"The student and I spent most of the session working through his homework on plotting and graphing and using the measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) to describe data sets. This was mostly review for him from previous school years, but it was a good opportunity to remind him of some of the key differences between various ways of representing data. We worked on problems with box and whisker plots, bar graphs, scatterplots, and histograms. He needed to ask a few clarifying questions about how to set up each graph, but overall he knew what he was doing. We then talked a little about the new material he was learning in class, namely using the Pythagorean Theorem. He had a complete understanding of the concept, but he could use more practice working with the formula to solve for unknowns. As he learns more about this in class, I think he'll get more confident using these ideas."

"Today we worked on the review for the Pre-Calculus final exam the student has on Friday. We worked on solving trig equations, verifying trig identities, word problems involving trig functions, unit circle, solving triangles, law of sines and cosines etc. I will be sending an additional worksheet to him tonight so that he can practice the concepts he needs to work on. I have left two practice tests with him to look at and practice before the final."

"We worked on systems of equations, primarily how to solve them by graphing. We also worked with her calculator so she can start using this to check her work and help save her time. She did very well with this. She was a little rusty with graphing equations since it has been so long since she learned how to do them last year, but was able to get right back into them very well. We finished by reviewing a certain type of systems of equations problems."

"We covered linear equations, domain and range, and graphing inequalities. The student had a positive attitude toward the work. I did try to give tips wherever I could, and at least clarify why certain things are done. She showed progress in that she was able to finish her later homework problems on her own. I think she knows the current lesson very well."

"Today's tutoring session was focused on homework. The student had 3 math worksheets and 3 language arts worksheets to complete. The math worksheets were not very difficult but contained multiple steps so they took a bit of time. He did well on the math portion and only needed help with a couple problems. His language arts worksheets covered pronouns and plurals. We worked on these types of questions earlier in the week and he was able to complete them all by himself. Today's session went well and the student seems to be doing well and enjoying tutoring sessions."

"The student will be taking the ISEE next week, so we did some general review for each section. He was able to recall most of the strategies we've gone over for each question type, and I had him walk me through some examples from each section in order to show how to properly approach them. For quantitative and math, we reviewed the concepts he's had trouble with in the past, including arithmetic properties. We finished by discussing a recent essay he wrote as practice for the ISEE. His structure and organization were sound. We identified some ways to incorporate anecdotal evidence to support his ideas."

"With the test coming up in just a few days, we focused on mostly verbal skills and a little reading. The student has a good understanding of the many flashcards she has made and because she has drawn corresponding pictures to help her make connections, she is able to remember the words and their meanings very well. She has learned some roots and affixes as well as a fairly comprehensive list of vocabulary words that she can expect to encounter on the test. We also shored up the analogy work by making sure she has strong bridge statements to make the right selection. "

"During our session today we were able to accomplish two tasks. The first task was for the student to finish a homework assignment. The homework focused on graphing inequalities and being able to find all their solutions by shading a portion of the graph. This is the last homework assignment he had not yet submitted, so now he is caught up in all his homework. The second task was to review for his test, which is scheduled for tomorrow. We reviewed all the sections his professor said would be on the test. We went through several practice problems and identified his weaknesses. While studying for the test, he and I also created a study sheet. He is going to study this sheet tonight and the teacher has allowed him to use it during his exam."

"We worked on optimization problems in great detail during the session. The student's class is looking at integrals but he feels quite comfortable with them so far. From the previous section, optimization was harder for him so we spent the session going over a variety of problems. We looked at problems involving shapes inscribed in other shapes and how to maximize their volume. We also looked at problems involving angles and trig/inverse trig functions. These were different from the problems the student had seen before, and it helped him make more sense out of how to set up optimization problems. Overall, it was a productive session. "
