"Today, we worked on two step problems. I had her map out exactly what the problem was asking and then solve it. After working through an example, she seemed to grasp the concept. We then reviewed a division test. I had the student practice with a few problems. We then worked on telling time, specifically working on quarters and half past hours. Finally, we did a brief writing session. In the next session, I will be working with the student on practicing for her state math test, continued practice on time, and another writing session. It was a solid session!"

"The student and I worked on multiple step equations as well as using sets of equations to solve for more than one variable. We briefly covered how to find the point of intersection of two lines. I showed him multiple ways of solving those problems such as creating a graph or table for the coordinate points, in addition to simply isolating a variable and plugging it into the other equations. He is very enthusiastic and is doing this outside of his working time to challenge himself. He has not had a tutor in a while and therefore seems reasonably rusty. Nevertheless he only needs slight correction and he already knows when he needs to do. I left him with problems that we had completed during the session as well as detailed explanation of those problems. Since this was the first session, we discussed his expectations and how he learns the best. From now on I will be bringing practice problems and materials for both the sessions as well as homework. He is very good with algebra he just needs more practice. "

"We went over a quiz of hers from last week (which mainly involved clarifying what multiplicity of zeroes looked like in the graph of a function), as well as two sections in her book that will be quizzed tomorrow. The first section covers pretty much the same procedure that we did last week. The second section introduces complex numbers, which the student understood well. I highlighted a useful trick which I'm sure will be on the quiz, and she seemed confident on the rest. I introduced the idea of the complex plane, which is the way complex numbers are viewed in college, as well as a geometrical interpretation of multiplying them together. All in all, I think she knows her stuff pretty well for tomorrow, and I look forward to covering new material next week."

"We covered math and literature. I want to review his last quiz with him to account for his progress. We will be reviewing that next time. We also extensively prepared for his vocab test in literature."

"We started with a fractions quiz and the student scored 20/20 on it. I am so proud of his progress with fractions and we have agreed to a fractions quiz once a week instead of twice. We reviewed his homework and he obtained a perfect score on that assignment. Afterwards, we worked on linear equations briefly, but focused on converting fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions. He seems to understand that concept fairly well. So we are going to do a decimals to fractions quiz on Wednesday before reviewing the second homework assignment. I think he is making great progress and his math grade has improved from B to A-. I think by the end of the semester he will be at an A grade."

"The student and I worked on his "La Carrera" unit vocabulary. We also reviewed the difference between reflexive verbs and verbs that use indirect objects. Additionally, he and I practiced speaking and reviewed some vocabulary from Spanish I. He is going to rewrite his old Spanish I notes as a way to study and organize his materials."

"The student and I worked on graphing and factoring quadratic equations in standard form. I showed him how to find the vertex, line of symmetry, y intercept, x intercepts, and how to find the domain and range. We then practiced factoring. There are several ways to factor including grouping, reducing, and completing the square. Tomorrow we'll continue where we left off."

"For today's session, the student and I started with a review of the previous topics we've covered. This included linear equations (how to graph and identify slope and y-intercept), and the Pythagorean theorem (including the distance formula). After, we continued where we left off from last time, which was simplifying radicals. This time, we focused more on using operations on radicals, starting with addition and subtraction. The next operation was multiplication, saving division for last. The student had a little trouble with the new topics of operating with radicals, but stayed determined and worked hard. For the next session, we'll continue operations with radicals, as it can be a difficult subject to learn."

"We reviewed majors concepts, from congruent triangle proofs to properties of rhombuses and kites. We specifically covered "consecutive" and supplementary angles, interior angle formula for n-gons, exterior angle "formula", rhombus mid-segment lengths, triangle midpoints and segments, and general properties of parallelograms. The student has a test Thursday, so I gave homework to review for that."

"The student and I covered equilibrium and solubility equilibria. She needed help with writing and solving problems related to equilibrium so we went over that in detail. Her attitude was proactive. Strategies included road mapping. She got an 88% on her last test. She now understands the concept of equilibrium well!"

"Today we worked on inequalities and absolute value. The student had a pretty good grasp of the material. He needs to remember to write the given inequality symbol instead of the equal sign in these types of equations. He is planning on taking one of the algebra assessment tests. "

"We continued to review for the science test. The student had done some independent studying yesterday and it showed. She got about 80% of questions right the first time around. We reviewed the small batch she had difficulty with, and the second time around, she had a stronger grasp on the material. She was visibly happy with her achievement and I told her she should be proud of herself. We've also been talking about what to do if she feels like she's beginning to lose focus, and I checked in with her a few times and she told me she was able to concentrate and focus better than she had expected. I reminded her that she needs to review at least one more time tonight. "
