"Today we covered properties of trigonometry functions and graphs of sin and cos functions. The student completed two full homework sections from the two topics. She is a quick learner and easily grasps the concepts taught to her. "

"We went over the midterm and covered the mistakes from the student's test. After that, we went over chapters 5.1 and 5.2 HW and concepts and prepared for the quiz that he has tomorrow."

"Today the student and I completed a rigorous review of multiplication and division facts as well as a review of the Cartesian Coordinate Point system. She and I will continue review of the multiplication reinforcement each session, and she has seen significant improvement already. She has shown mastery of the Cartesian Coordinate System. We finished by revising her essay for her Grammar class. She is always eager to learn and excellent to work with."

"We worked through 3 homework problems. The first was a review of the concept of monopoly, and we talked about the difference between monopolies and competitive companies when drawing a supply (marginal cost) and demand (average revenue) graph, and how that affects the profit. The next question covered externalities, and we talked about how an externality shifts the supply in or outward depending on if it is negative or positive, and how to do this algebraically. Finally, we did a question about public goods, and learned about how to use vertical or horizontal summation to add individuals' demand curves together to get the optimal public or privately provided quantities."

"The student's session went much better this evening. He was prepared to study chapters 4 and 5. Since he didn't have a specific test devoted to chapter 4, we used the textbook. We specifically reviewed the major differences between popular and folk culture. I was pleased that he was able to consistently provide relevant examples for his answers. It was evident that even he was excited about the progress that he had made thus far. For chapter 5, I pulled a random selection of questions from his test. He did very well, and mostly missed questions that were very wordy. I'm sure that he will do better when he can read the question for himself more slowly. We talked about test strategy as we finished the session. I know that he is confident in the material."

"The student and I worked on analogies. We spoke about what to do before the test, like relax the night before, eat breakfast, and take snacks. We came up with a plan which we were working on about taking the test. Math - answer ones you know and are easy to calculate so you don't make math errors on the first pass. Then go back. Same with verbal. If you can narrow it to two, then guess. Try to do the ones you know first and be careful about bubbling the correct answer."

"Tonight we began reviewing for both an upcoming precalculus test and very briefly for her upcoming AP biology test. For the math assignment, the student worked through review problems regarding methods for solving systems of equations. She understood the majority of the concepts and did not have too many questions except in reviewing the Gaussian elimination method. As we worked through the practice problem, I recommended that she keep in mind which equation to multiply as the one that contained the zero and then add the two equations to eliminate. We did not practice too many matrix problems, but she will practice these on her own. For the biology test, we briefly reviewed pedigree trees and utilized Punnett squares to understand possible outcomes in looking at blood type problems and looking at probabilities or ratios for genotypes. "

"Today we tried the longer session for math. I think it went really well! Because of the extra time, the student was able to complete his homework and we also had time to review the difficult material we covered last week. His current homework was multiplication of two-digit numbers, and the review work was on multiplying and adding fractions to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions. Having the time to re-visit the concepts from last week was helpful to him. At first, he said he didn't remember the concepts, but as we did some practice problems it became clear that he remembered more than he thought. By the end, I could clearly see an improvement in his comprehension of that material. He also picked out a new book to start reading on his own, which a friend gave to him. He will be reading chapter one and answering the five W's (who, what, where, when, why?) and making a prediction of what he thinks will happen next. "

"We worked on finding the area of shaded regions in circles, which incorporated knowledge of triangles and polygons. We also worked on word problems that used rectangular prisms. The student had a good understanding of the basics, but struggled a little in the process to solve word problems. He also lacks in organization, so I taught him outlining what needs to be done to solve a problem. In general he's a good student and won't have that much trouble moving forward. Just a little help in thinking things through is all he really needs."

"The student's essays for History and English have been returned. He scored B/B- on the History paper and 27 out of 30 in English!! Good work! Feedback from his history teacher shows that the main weakness was occasional lack of specificity in his examples. He has a new essay assignment on Romeo and Juliet; he has chosen to compare and contrast Shakespeare's Act 5 with the changes made to the scene for the movie version. He has excellent ideas and has created a detailed outline. We worked on 2 body paragraphs, completing a full edit. He had already started self-editing one paragraph. He continues to ask excellent questions about what we do and why. He is going to complete a full draft of those two paragraphs for Monday."

"This was my first meeting with this student. She is taking an introductory statistics course. She provided a quiz and wanted to know where she had missed points. All of the problems were on z-scores. She had done some good work. First, we made sure she knew how to properly use the formulas (for "x" and for "x-bar"). We also sketched out some distributions so she could learn logically and conceptually exactly what is happening when one looks up probability, proportions and percentile ranks in a standardized table, based on a z-score (or other information provided). We practiced using her z-table and I recommended some videos that do a great job of reinforcing the material. "

"Today we reviewed the test on thermochemistry and spontaneity. We focused on how enthalpy and entropy affect spontaneity and how to determine whether they are decreasing or increasing. The student also completed an assignment about periodic and trig functions."
