"Good session today. Returned to working on real world problems with student from the previous day. Today was way more of a supportive role for me, a little more relaxed."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student hasn't started her new chapter of study yet, so her homework for today was more computer-based work. We did that for about 40 minutes, reviewing multiplications of fractions, ordering fractions with unlike denominators, and placing complex numbers on number lines. After this, we decided to get a head start on her homework for Wednesday, which was basically a review for the material that she will cover in chapter six. For the most part, this material gave no problems, but the student is starting to try to rush through problems again, thus making simple mistakes. I encouraged her to recopy the problem before starting and write out each step completely instead of taking shortcuts. We finished this in about 40 minutes as well, so I spent the rest of the time introducing the lesson that she will learn in class on Friday (the interior angle theorem)."

"For our first session we began by discussing areas of struggle for the student and how we can approach improving her outcomes in physics questions. We reviewed the following topics using practice problems: 1) Fluids 2) Buoyant Force 3) Bernoulli's Equation 4) Volume flow rate 5) Hydraulic pressure systems For homework she will work on selected fluids questions which we will discuss at our following session."

"The student is working on angles for a mini section before the holiday break. We reviewed the vocabulary for this section. We were classifying angles and triangles. The classification was based on the angle measurement and the side lengths. We also drew angles using a protractor with specified degrees. He did a great job with the drawing and classification. This unit also was discussing parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines. "

"The student and I covered solving systems of equations by elimination and substitution today. We reviewed the concept during the tutoring session because he had missed the class in which the concept was covered. We did several problems together from the chapter quiz and I left him with additional practice to go over the concept."

"We covered solving quadratic equations using substitution, factoring, and the quadratic formula in algebra 2. The student was mostly struggling with identifying when to use which method to make the problems easier. However, he is a very bright student and catches on very quickly. He was relieved that he could understand the material easier after working together. Seeing that he caught onto the material quickly, what we did was choose three practice problems to see if he understood the problems. I challenged him to see if he could get all three answers faster and more correct that me, which he did! "

"We worked on Minitab tutorials, data representations, and identifying the parts of a study. The student struggled the most with writing descriptive, complete sentences and figuring out a plan of attack for a problem. Her homework is to create a list of shortcut commands for Minitab. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We had to go basics and still cover the solutions of algebraic expressions including one variable. Balancing an equation and solving for one variable proved to be a challenge, but the student seems to be able to absorb new concepts really well if dictated and several examples are taken. This was in preparation to solving simultaneous equations."

"The student worked through more fractions: adding, converting from mixed to improper, figuring LCM, and using her math facts. She has about four pages of problems and she completed close to three. I reviewed her new vocab list: spelling, meaning, and part of speech. She read from a class book for about 10 minutes, which was good practice. She gave a summary of her current English nonfiction book, explaining her thoughts--also good practice. We discussed useful things she learned in class, like how asking questions is an important skill. "

"During this session, the student and I reviewed a proposal for his class. He emailed the proposal to me last night. I read, edited, and put feedback for him. We went over that feedback and then created an outline for the paper. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Today the student and I reviewed for his test tomorrow. During this session, we covered Taylor and Maclaurin series, interval and radius of convergence for power series, and various tests like ratio, root, alternating series, p-series, and direct comparison tests. "
