"We took another look at the periodic table and did some dimensional analysis. We also reviewed the Enlightenment, and we went over the student's math homework."

"We began the session with about 10 minutes of multiplication practice. He did some flashcard work then took the quiz and got 65/65 correct. He completed it in 7.5 minutes. On Thursday we will see if he can lower his time while maintaining his accuracy. We also did his homework which was on finding equivalent fractions. We worked on equivalent fractions for 1/2, 1/3, 1/5, and 3/4. I gave him several strategies for finding equivalent fractions. He was very successful. "

"We reviewed finding the equation of a line when given a point and a slope and when given two points then moved onto solving systems of equations graphically and numerically. "

"Today we learned the vocabulary of the family members and relatives, 5 instruments, and how to separate the words when you are writing and there is no more space to continue the sentence. The vocabulary of the family was learned while doing a family tree exercise, the instruments by looking for them in a dictionary and then drawing them, and the separation of words doing exercises of it with other instrument names.

"Today I met with the student to prepare him for his test tomorrow. The teacher provided a study guide complete with a page of challenge problems that were to be covered by the test date. These problems contained many of the finer intricacies of algebra. These problems included working with negative exponents, finding LCD, adding and subtracting fractions with variables, and rules regarding multiplying monomials and polynomials. With most of the trick problems, he was able to understand the reasoning behind my explanations well. Once each trick or nuance had been revealed, he had an epiphany regarding how to solve each problem. I am confident in his ability to learn the material and succeed in this course."

"The student and I worked on both his science and math assignments today. We started with his science study guide for his upcoming test. He is currently studying chemistry and related topics. He was able to complete the study guide using his notes, with the occasional help of the internet. We then worked on his math homework that covered rotations around the origin and around certain points. After we did a few practice problems, he picked up the concept and finished most of his work during our session."

"We covered social studies, including making up past-due assignments, studying for a vocabulary quiz, and completing a quick homework assignment. We also studied for the student's upcoming Spanish test on the verbs ser and gustar. He showed a lot of progress throughout the session! I was very proud of him! He still needs to work on using his agenda to avoid missing assignments and using a notebook as opposed to loose leaf paper to avoid losing assignments."

"We began reviewing the math section of the test. It seems that the student was proficient in the math material, so I decided to review how to approach the section in terms of what questions to attempt first, which to attempt after, and which to avoid. I supplied him with an overall outline of how many questions he would be able to skip for every section of the test, along with general do's and don'ts on answering questions. We spent the rest of the session going over math problems common to the test. I assigned him some reading material on math material he had trouble with."

"We talked about Riemann sums and definite integrals. We spent a lot of time discussing one problem on using the limit definition of a Riemann integral to calculate an integral. This problem can be shortened with the use of a calculator. The student struggled the most with the conceptual connection between Riemann sums and integrals. She was very positive and engaged with the material and seemed to care whether or not she understood everything. She told me that the session was very helpful."

"Our focus tonight was on the argumentative essay for the AP exam. I uploaded a prompt and scoring rubric and reviewed them with the student. She brainstormed various responses and quickly developed a strong position on the question. We then discussed possible supporting evidence, and I encouraged her to think out loud as she considered several possibilities from her reading, personal experience, and general observations. We then talked about writing strategies, with particular emphasis on a strong, predictive, 3-point thesis, with very specific support in the body paragraphs. I asked her to log off, then time herself (50 minutes) as she hand-writes the essay. She will scan or photograph it, then email it to me as an attachment. I will score it using the AP scoring guidelines, and she and I will review it during our next session before tackling the synthesis prompt. "

"In today's session, the student and I looked through her classes and registered for the fall semester. I also made a list of most of General Education classes she will likely have to take while. We also spent time reviewing for her math final. She will need to work on the study guide on her own this weekend as much as possible. Then we will go over everything together next week. "
