"We covered the distance and midpoint formulas. We also looked at properties of exponents and the Pythagorean equation. The student is generally OK with the basics, but he lacks an understanding of the concepts underlying the process of solving problems. He doesn't yet see relationships and patterns that will help decide the next course of action."

"For our last tutoring session before the student's ACT, we covered templates and strategies for the essay portion, reviewed the high-yield general strategies that had come up repeatedly in our tutoring, and spent some time focusing on confidence-building specifically for the science section. He is a quick learner and has done very well at applying new concepts to practice sections - I'm confident he'll do great on his test!"

"We spent the entire session going over math word problems. We focused on strategies and test taking skills. I advised the student to set up a study schedule and work on math facts, etc., so she can solve problems faster."

"The twins and I reviewed geometry and logic problems in their study guides as well as a few problems I devised myself. We spoke in depth about vocabulary practice and also reviewed what errors to look for when identifying sentence errors and correcting sentences. "

"We reviewed lots of vocab and I can see a marked improvement from about a month ago. However, the student needs to take it upon himself to review vocabulary on his own. Now that we've identified a good-sized list of words that he has trouble with, his own personal study of that list is paramount. "

"The student took the SAT earlier this week so we went through her answers and test-taking strategies section by section. She is struggling with one of the sections, so we talked more about formal logic. We went through one of the games that she had difficulty diagramming, and we left Reading Comprehension for another week, as she's doing fine there. She scored a 153 on that test overall. We then went through some of the Games she had trouble with on her actual SAT and discussed diagrams. She'll be taking three practice tests before we meet again next Tuesday. "

"This week, we reviewed the student's quizzes and practice problems. The new material in her class primarily revolves around the product rule and quotient rule for finding derivatives. The most difficult problems involved using the product or quotient rule on a derivative obtained by the product rule, so we reviewed how to solve these multi-step problems (starting by defining two functions as one). I encouraged her to label her steps and show more work, as more complex problems with multiple threads like this are made easier through on-paper organization. She picked up the material quickly, and I saw her implement the rules more readily and correctly as the session went on."

"We covered three main areas on chemistry all relating to understanding and applying the periodic table of elements. 1) Writing the electron configurations of any element. 2) Defining and explaining the 4 types of chemical bonds. 3) Explaining groups and trends in the periodic table."

"The student had some homework that was due. Some of it was review of old material. She had to complete a electron dot diagram worksheet. She needed a little reminder at first, but she did well on that. She also had to complete an assignment on finding average atomic mass. I had to teach her the concept and how to complete these problems, and she eventually had a good understanding. The last assignment was over alpha and beta decay. I had to teach her the difference between them and how to recognize them. She did a good job of learning it. "

"The student and I had our final session last night. We spent the session reading his book about space, and wrote interesting facts about the sun."

"Today, we went over the assignments and the student improved a bit in Unit conversion, although she struggles with multi-step unit conversions occasionally. We went over a bit more of unit conversion. Today we went over atomic structure, the periodic table and finished periodic trends. She did excellent in these, scoring 100% in a quiz. I find that the student excels in areas that do not involve numbers. She had an assignment required you to graph out the trends between electronegativity and atomic radii on a spreadsheet and I helped walk her through. Next, we went over some integrated algebra, particularly helping her with ratios, guesstimation, and finding the GCF and LCM. We quickly went over some practice problems for the PBS Health Occupation Aptitude Test and she quickly learned to apply some concepts she learned in unit conversion and other parts we went over. She improved a little from the last session. We'll also go over biology for the next session as well. "
