"The subjects covered were solving a system of inequalities using elimination in word problems and calculating the volume or surface area of three dimensional shapes. The student understands the material and can work through the problems well. The only issue is missing a step due to not rewriting the problem over at each step but this has improved."

"The student has an exam tomorrow on trigonometry. The main topics covered were law of sines and cosines. She has shown growth from when we started up to this point. I am impressed with her comprehension and her attitude towards the material. With enough guidance she has been able to perform well and has the confidence to take on any problem."

"Review for the final! We did a few trig problems involving finding theta values for a certain output of specific functions, graphing sine using transformations, and solving triangles with the law of sines and law of cosines. We graphed and found the rectangular equation for a parametric equation. The student also had to confront the similarity between hyperbolas and ellipses again, as we had to graph one and find its equation given the foci and a vertex. We reviewed how to use long division to find the non-vertical asymptotes. She can do all these things well. We'll finish this review tomorrow."

"We went over what the student has done so far in the course and tried to come up with a rough game plan so that she can get as much done before school starts. With the short time frame available, finishing the entire course before school starts may not be realistic, but we will adjust our expectations as we continue."

"Today was a good first session. I got to know a little about the student, and we talked about what subjects she takes in school and what type of material and skills they cover. Since she is coming from a Spanish speaking high school, we began talking over some concepts in English so that she would be comfortable working with them on the SAT. Since she has never taken an SAT or any standardized test, we began with an in depth overview of the SAT and how it works, including a little bit about scoring. We went over the format and the different sections, as well as question type and difficulty. We began by looking at a few math problems to get her into the swing of things. We talked about how it's necessary, particularly in the math, to take the problem one step at a time and to write everything down. We reviewed terms such as median, mean, and mode, and also the different operations and how they relate to each other. We then moved onto a writing section and started looking at English grammar that will be tested. We set up a schedule to meet everyday this upcoming week. "

"We covered everything the student had learned up until now (limits, derivative formulas, implicit differentiation, etc.). We got all the way up to sketching curves with derivatives/using critical points to find max/min, etc. The student seemed to understand the material much better after our session."

"In this session we reviewed the student's homework for Monday. This also helped him review for his History exam Wednesday. We covered Guided Reading 6-1/6-2 and 6-3 as well as his vocabulary. He knows he must continue to review but he remembered a lot of details, especially from Guided Reading 6-3. He had a positive attitude during his lesson and stayed on task. I know he is trying very hard to improve his organization and study skills to improve his grade. Good job! I will start to meet with him twice a week after this next week to help him stay on task and motivated."

"We worked on graphing parametric equations. The student's classwork only requires him to be able to use calculator to graph, but we talked a little about how to do some parts manually. We also reviewed the general equations for conic sections. "

"We covered six standardized test prep pages. This included midsegments of triangles, perpendicular and angle bisectors, bisectors of triangles, medians and altitudes of triangles, inequalities in one triangle, and inequalities in two triangles. The student knew this stuff pretty well. "

"The student did a writing warm up in which he had to combine and split complex sentences. We read a recipe, and the student correctly put a group of steps into the correct sequence, based on the directions given in the recipe. He did pretty well at identifying the setting and making some inferences about the story "Soccer Sam". We did more character description questions for a short text about Nelson Mandela, and I explained a few new terms to the student. The text was very age-appropriate, but these abstraction concepts are a bit difficult, so I used some examples. The student was able to remember two important details from the story when I asked him."

"The student and I focused on finding the cause and effects in certain written passages. We also focused on grammar and sentence structure. I began working with him on trimming down his sentences so that they were not unnecessarily wordy. We finished out the session by working on his literature poster, where we focused on symbolism. He did a great job of trying to stay focus led and motivated. "
