"Today we went over line segments and different types of collinear and coplanar statements. We also solidified her understanding of the Hardy-Weinberg equation in Biology. Great effort and work today!"

"We worked on graphing inequalities. We also found the solutions of multiple equations, and graphed equations in slope intercept form. We used test points to insure that the derived solutions meet the inequality requirements."

"The student and I continued to work on word problems involving unit conversions. The most difficult part is figuring out what the problem is asking and what steps to take to solve the problem. The student has a hard time analyzing the given information and deciphering what the problem is asking. So, I decided to model my thought process in a few problems to show him."

"I showed the student how propositional logic applies to answering certain LSAT question, and we looked also at informal fallacies. "

"The first and second sessions were primarily about review of geometrical and algebraic concepts, as well as SAT test-taking strategies. Problems were taken from the student's SAT blue book as well as from materials of my own. He seems to be grasping the concepts quite well, although he struggles a bit more with wordy problems that provide a lot of information. His math computation abilities, however, seem to be very good. The emphasis of session 3, as well as future sessions, will be to drill practice test after practice test for math. I have provided a workbook with 12 different SAT math tests, and the goal is to get the student as familiar with as many of those tests as possible. During session 3 today, we went over many problems from test 1 in the workbook. This will be the goal from here on out--he will finish one or more sections from a practice test for homework, we will go over them during the tutoring sessions, and then spend the remaining time taking additional sections of the test. He has a great attitude--he seems genuinely interested in the material and he is certainly learning. As long as he keeps up with working through problems (which I've assigned) on his own, he will be just fine."

"We are preparing for a very important test, but a major victory is that the student's math average now stands just 3 points short of the required average to pass the course. In addition to covering current material, I have provided multiplication and addition worksheets that hopefully will help her with her speed in making calculations. "

"We reviewed addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication of decimals. We also reviewed long division with more than one decimal place. Lastly, we covered some math logic problems, including word problems for a prep test that the student has coming up. This was a good review session for her; she did very well. "

"We practiced "was and were" in written sentences and also in verbal conversation. We went through some common conversational phrases. She mostly struggled with question words and distinction between vowels. She has a positive attitude toward practicing speaking English in conversation. I had her describe pictures from her recent vacation in English to encourage verbal English production. I left the common conversational phrases to look up, say aloud, and use to practice conversations with her husband. One "win" is that she did a great job at using "was and were" verbally in conversation."

"The student and I worked on word problems in math during today's session. She began by completing a worksheet with subtraction problems with two digits. She did well with this, with diagrams and pictures. After this, she completed a worksheet with word problems for addition with three addends. She did well with this activity as well, with pictures and diagrams. For the next session, we will work on math word problems. "

"The student is preparing for a big test and is on spring break this week. His teacher gave him four sets of review problems on solving equations with single unknowns, inequalities, Pythagorean theorem, and graphing lines. Inequalities were the ones he found most challenging. We did the most of those and worked on the equations as well. We spent a lot of time making sure his work was clearly written out. He should fit about four problems on one side of a page. That is plenty of space for these problems and leaves him room to check his work. He felt most comfortable with the Pythagorean problems and can definitely do those on his own. I will need to send him word problems so he gets practice with those as well. "

"The student completed problems from the online assessment test prep file. She practiced ratios and proportions. I taught the concept focusing on vocabulary and mathematical reasoning. She scored 96% on all problems completed, including those given in a speed drill. "
