"For this session, we covered exponential functions for his algebra homework. As for biology, we covered the various cycles (nitrogen, phosphorus, water, carbon dioxide and oxygen). "

"The student and I discussed methods for solving integrals with Trig. Substitutions. I showed her some mnemonics for memorizing trig identities and we discussed how to utilize said identities. "

"Tonight we went over more homework problems dealing with the convergence and divergence of infinite series. The student seemed to have a very good understanding of the comparison tests being used, including the divergence, integral, and limit comparison tests. He has a test next Friday, so I expect we will be reviewing a lot of this material for the test and for his final."

"The student and I will be working on his health course and English course. He is a wonderful student, is highly motivated, and has the goal of improving his grades. "

"In this session, we started by doing more force problems dealing with acceleration down a slope. I had to go over the difference between the forces in both the x and y directions and how they influence (and don't influence) each other. By drawing diagrams, we were able to understand these problems! I also helped the student with her Calculus. She had some homework dealing with logarithmic differentiation. I started by looking over easier, related problems and making sure she had a firm basis in these problems. She correctly answered the harder questions by herself. I also started teaching her the next section."

"We covered spelling, sounds, and writing alphabet letters. The student was willing to pay attention and try his best. I am going to keep in contact with his nanny to see what he's learning each week so I can better prepare for the lesson."

"Today we covered the relationship between total product, marginal product and average product. We also covered calculating elasticity of demand, derivatives, and returns to scale. I left the student with the basic steps to solve the last part of last year's final exam question we were working on."

"I gave the student a set of review problems to work, covering Chapter 6 (Roots) and Chapter 7 (Algebraic Expressions). He performed well, but he made a couple of errors that I corrected and explained. I then gave him a set preview problems for today's lesson, which covered Chapter 8 (Functions). He performed well. Since he grasped the important points of today's lesson well, I launched into Chapter 9 (Graphs), as it is an important and lengthy lesson. I worked several graphing examples and explained the slope-intercept equation form, y = mx + b. He has a good foundation for learning the next lesson."

"Today, we worked on centripetal motion, torque, and equilibrium, and we ended on gravitational forces for a few minutes. The student's attitude was positive throughout the session. I included strategies to keep concepts separate and distinct and also ways to remember which formula to use. I look forward to our next session."

"The student and I reviewed her homework based on the present simple and present continuous tenses, and then we used this homework to inform a writing exercise about an adventure at sea. We did some prewriting together, and then I supervised her as she worked on her story. We also did a couple of short readings about "The Ides of March" as it relates to history and to the work of Shakespeare. For extra practice, she will be completing her story, researching the assassination of Julius Caesar, and looking up what a "soothsayer" is to deepen her understanding of our readings. She continues to improve, both as a writer and as a student of English grammar. I think our biggest win from today was her ability to meaningfully distinguish between the varied uses of the present simple and present continuous, which are difficult to explain."

"The student has homework in optics as part of physics. He started the questions in class so we continued with questions on lenses, mirrors, telescopes, microscopes, etc. He used various formulas to calculate heights and placements of images and objects with lenses. He discussed differences in sight and corrections to those issues as well. We had a chance to use some simplifying techniques in solving certain specialized algebraic equations. He seems to grasp the concepts we discussed without major issues. "
