"We worked on multiplying and dividing fractions and the steps needed to do it correctly. We also continued on how to find a variable in an equation."

"The student proudly reported that he made the honor roll last quarter, improving both his grades in Math and Science. After catching up about school, we began with Science. He has a quiz on Monday about the earth, sun and planets, so I tested his knowledge from the PowerPoint notes he gave me. For the concepts he didn't know, we talked them through and devised ways to remember them. After we felt confident in his preparation, we moved on to his Math homework. The student is currently working on Statistics, specifically compound, independent and dependent events. He did not understand how to draw tree diagrams for compound events or the different between independent and dependent events, but he was strong in his ability to draw tables and compute probabilities. We practiced those weaker areas, and at the end of his homework he was confident. "

"We covered a lot of chain-rule, and some fundamental theorems of calculus - important difference between velocity and speed - distance traveled problems - and chain-rule with inverse functions. The student appears to be catching on quite well and extra practice is always helpful. He continues to have a great attitude and commitment. "

"The student and I discussed and reviewed topics regarding radians, trig ratios, linear velocity, and angular velocity. We first learned methods to convert from degrees to radians and vice versa. She was very good at converting radians to degrees. Next, we reviewed the six trigonometric ratios. We derived them from general triangles first with sine and cosine. We saw that the other four are all based on the two (sine/cosine). We learned to calculate the ratios given triangles but also learned to generate triangles and the other ratios given one of the ratios. She proved to be pretty adept at these skills. The last skill we developed was the calculation of angular velocity and linear velocity from movement based on a rotating mass. We saw that angular velocity was the measure of the rotation speed. With the size of the rotating mass and the angular velocity, we calculated linear velocity. We focused on determining what questions required because she could apply the formulas well but was sometimes confused regarding the goal of the question. "

"We did more review of naming of ionic compounds during today's session. We also went over some math concepts including simplifying fractions with polynomial equations, along with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of these fractions."

"In today's session, the student worked on changing short vowel words into long vowel words by adding a silent e to the end. She worked on identifying syllables in words, and reading from a primary reader. We also reviewed sight words."

"First we went over the student's old exam and answered the questions she got incorrect. Overall she did well on the exam. For the rest of the lesson we worked on linear equations. We learned to find the x and y intercept, slope, and how to write the equation of the line. We will continue this into next week."

"In this session, the student and I worked together on brainstorming and laying out the structure of a paragraph for his Global Studies class. This paragraph focused on the humanist ideals and the ways in which Machiavelli promoted them in his treatise "The Prince." Once again, he demonstrated an excellent attitude and positive effort throughout the session. In addition, he has shown amazing memorization skills in that he can quickly and easily recall material covered in class."

"The student reported that he improved on the last critical essay he was assigned in class - he got a better grade this time. He is now assigned a research paper on the historical context of any of the major works that were covered in class this year. He is trying to decide between Huckleberry Finn and The Crucible. We did some research for secondary sources, then worked on thesis statements for each book. I advised him to ask his teacher what kinds of secondary sources are acceptable/expected and ask her for a sample of a successful research paper from a different work. He is not sure of the deadline for this yet, but will confirm week. Next session, we plan to work on outlining the paper because he doesn't generally do this step, and it is critical to this kind of writing."

"The student got a 90% on his last test. This session we worked on Descartes' theorem for solutions of polynomials. We did problems factoring out and multiplying roots and properties of real/ imaginary roots. He does well with a little guidance. "

"Today, we covered light waves, luminosity, illumination, P=IS, the speed of light, measurement of the speed of light, the Doppler effect, the Doppler effect in light, and Snell's law of refraction. The student is up to date and confident in all subject matters. "
