"We continued to cover conic sections: hyperbolas, ellipses, circles, and parabolas. We also focused on the finding the major and minor axes, vertices, and focuses of these functions. The student was not struggling; he had a great grasp on the material and a positive attitude. I did include some strategies on finding the standard form of some of the sections. I asked him to look through the chapter review. "

"The student's next unit has begun with a lesson on making and filling in Venn diagrams, including using them to find probability. He had little trouble constructing the diagrams, especially after we saw a few variations, but it took a little extra explanation before he understood how to properly interpret probability from them."

"In this session, the student and I reviewed the material that she had in a practice test so that she would be more ready for the real upcoming test on Thursday. This material covered quadratic equations, linear equations, factoring, completing the square, and making sense of word problems with algebraic methods. Word problems had previously been the area that she dreaded most, but she did very well in working through these ones. We got through all fifty problems without any major hitches, and we will continue studying Wednesday. I am very confident that she will excel on the upcoming final."

"The student had completed most of a worksheet his teacher had handed out. It covered graphing and types of equations- point-slope, slope intercept, and standard form. He had little trouble with most of this, and most mistakes were avoidable errors. He did have some trouble with word problems though. We will have to gauge to what extent these will be in his class. He had a bit more trouble with some of the concepts. We practiced standard form, domain and range, and word problems. We will review these again in our next session. "

"Today the student showed me a few things that he wanted to review, both from his geometry class this year and from algebra last year. He said that he didn't remember learning the equations for the area and circumference of circles, so I went over the equations with him and we did a variety of problems to make sure he could use the equations in different ways. Once he felt comfortable with that, we moved on to the Pythagorean theorem, which he hadn't understood when it was on a test recently. I showed him how it could be used to find side lengths of right triangles, including on a coordinate plane. I've really enjoyed working with him, and I wish him all the best with the rest of the school year!"

"We reviewed metabolism (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation) and photosynthesis for an exam. The student had a good handle of the concepts and understood the reactions involved in each step."

"Today, the student and I covered chapter 4 in science. He has an exam tomorrow, so we prepared for it and covered atoms and the periodic table. I left him with a lot of study material, and we covered all the key concepts! I'm sure he will do well!"

"The student had a midterm review for quadrilaterals. We worked on word problems: given a parallelogram we had to find the statement that is true or false based on the properties of a quadrilateral, and differentiate between an isosceles trapezoid, a rectangle, a rhombus and a parallelogram. Excellent study session."

"For this session, the students and I focused on the verbal and reading portions of the exam. One improvement I've noticed is that both students are better managing their time when doing their practice tests. One improvement that both of them need to work on is their vocabulary words. Both acknowledged that there were words that they weren't familiar with, so we did extensive practice with the practice tests to get them exposed to other vocabulary words. This will continue to the next session."

"We covered word problems involving the use of quadratic equations. The hardest part for the student to deal with was to translate the information given by the problem into an equation. I suggested that he assign variables to unknown values and to work with those in place of actual numbers when using formulas (for example, area and perimeter when the measurements of sides of a shape aren't given). He tried some problems using this strategy and did very well."

"We had a good tutoring lesson. We finished up with substitution style questions, and started with an introduction to geometry. During the lesson, we talked about formulas for solving area and perimeter of squares, rectangles, and circles. Overall it was a good lesson and we covered lots of material. Next week we will continue our work on geometry."

"I worked with the student on various English and grammar rules. He often works out of a grammar textbook for this English class and also has an upcoming ACT in April, so we thought working on these English and grammar concepts would be useful for both of these. He did well with these concepts, but there were various English rules that he needed to brush up on, so we went through these in detail. He had a great and focused attitude throughout our lesson, and I believe this session was very helpful for him to brush up on these various English concepts. "
