"We continued some of the work we had done during our previous session. This included work on partial fractions and trigonometric substitution. We also did some review on L'Hopital's rule, uv-substitution, u-substitution, and solving systems of equations with two and three variables. The student has a quiz coming up today, so we will see where he is at after that. Otherwise, I am looking forward to meeting with him again on Monday."

"The student and I went over Rolle's theorem and shells theorem. We spent most of the time reviewing and doing a lot of sample problems. He didn't seem to have such a hard time with the concepts. Also, we went over some cross section problems; most of which he did very well on. "

"The student worked on her math homework which focused on finding the square and square roots of the number. She had a hard time with this concept so I tried to go back to tell her the concept of the squared number. Once she was able to understand the material, she understood the word problems. I am a little concerned with her background knowledge so I will work on making sure her foundation is intact moving forward. I also helped edit her English poem which focused on something in her life that makes her very happy. "

"We revised the student's early action essays, building on drafts we'd looked at in earlier sessions. This included mostly line edits, since we made larger content changes earlier on. She will make some final edits and submit her essays before Nov. 1. "

"We prepared the monologue that the student needs to give for her upcoming Spanish test, following the specifications from the teacher with regard to vocab and verbs (according to the grading criteria). We'll practice orally on Sunday."

"During this session we covered linear and nonlinear graphs, using a table of values to find slope, and continued work on the student's essay. After completing multiple example problems that I brought for her, that related to the homework, she was able to complete her homework with relative ease. She now has a strong understanding of graphing, slope, and linear relationships. For the essay she was assigned, we reviewed and revised her outline and rough draft. I had the student find concrete details from the text, in order to add strength to her body paragraphs. Once the rough draft was revised, she finished up the final draft of the essay."

"Today we worked on inequalities. Most of the work was from a packet the student got from school, which she did after I gave her a short lesson. I also walked her through a couple of problems to make sure she understands the concept well."

"The student and I are doing well preparing for her state assessment test. She has a week left with me (after spring break) to prepare, and I think she will be ready. We need to brush up on reading comprehension and social studies. I will make sure that's the only thing we focus on in two weeks. She is becoming more vocal about what she wants me to teach her and that's great! We reviewed her government homework for her test she has today and she did amazingly with that. I introduced to her some advanced geometry and taught her about regular and irregular polygons. "

"We practiced system of equations and I explained why and how they are useful. I also explained how one can always check their work with system of equations. She is a very involved student who is not afraid to ask questions and is self aware about the parts of math that she struggles with. These are excellent traits in a student and I feel that we had a very successful session because of it. "

"We worked on definitions of words with spec and port in them. How to distinguish between vocabulary words and identify each given situational contexts. The student works hard when prompted and is very respectful."

"The student and I did a review of math today. He gets the material! He just forgets sometimes. We worked on a review of his packet today which dealt with parabolas, vertex, x-intercepts, y-intercepts, factoring, vertex form of an equation, standard form, and factored form. I tried to explain the importance of understanding where the vertex falls in comparison to the x-intercepts to make his life easier. We'll hit it again on Monday and hopefully he'll have better retainability. "
