"We talked about kinetics and thermodynamics for SAT chemistry. We talked in depth about reaction equilibrium and how changing conditions affect equilibrium. We also talked briefly about organic chemistry."

"Today, we reviewed a lot of concepts in preparation for the student's upcoming test. We reviewed the functions of the various organelles in animal and plant cells, the differences between pro and eukaryotes, the structures and functions in cell membranes, and tonicity. We did an extensive review of the differences between and functions of different aspects of the cytoskeleton, including creating a chart to keep it all straight."

"The student and met to go over essay writing for the test and applications. She had some crucial essays due the next week, and it had been awhile since our last essay session, so working on essays seemed like the best use of our time. For the first time since we started working, she found that there are ways to enjoy the process of writing. She has fantastic wit and charisma, but rarely looked at writing as a way to channel her affable disposition. She detached her charming quirks when she put pencil to paper, resulting in a generic, often muted product. We were able to tap into that wealth of charm in the session, and she ended up with two glowing essays bursting with technical ability and gregarious personality."

"We covered solving for polynomials. We went over her textbook and gave her examples from it. She did well understanding the concept."

"During this session, we went over synthetic division, long division, finding the equation, and graphing a polynomial equation. We looked through the student's notes and did a couple of practice questions. She definitely got more comfortable with the material as the session progressed; she just needs to watch out for negatives. Overall, this session went well."

"The student has a few tests this week, so we spent a significant amount of time completing her math review sheet. She has a one-week unit for science with the test on Friday as well as a social studies retake this week. In the session, we also finally completed an Aps assignment that has been overdue. She is confident she can complete her other math homework and her language arts essay on her own this week."

"Today we covered a portion of exam 6, which was focused on logarithms and exponents. Once we reached an understanding of their function and worked through the rules of logs and exponents, I think the student felt much more confident on the work. This is an area I feel we should spend a bit more time on, but I don't think it will be a majority of his final and therefore should not be the complete focus of our efforts. For the next session, he is working through the final review his teacher gave us and I am filling in answers and explanations to get to him so he can review them if he has trouble working through the questions."

"We went over the basics of Java, including variable types and manipulation. The student seemed to pick up well after we started going over things in depth. He seemed to struggle with the syntax, but going over why things are written they way they are seemed to help quite a bit. We tended to break lines of code down into as small of pieces as we could, which really helped him understand the bigger picture. Overall I felt like it was a great session and that he learned a lot, and I'm excited to see how much he learns in the coming weeks! "

"The student has a unit test on integers tomorrow. Our focus today was on review for his test. He practiced finding the absolute value, ordering negative and positive numbers from least to greatest, and representing short phrases as positive or negative numbers. He knows that the bigger the negative number, the smaller the value. We ended the session working on the coordinate plane section of his unit review, specifically taking a point and reflecting it across either the x or the y axis. "

"We covered graphing quadratic equations and solving for integers. These topics have been discussed in some of the previous sessions as well. The student wanted to discuss these topics to get more comfortable with them. I broke the solution into steps and stopped at the end of each step to make sure the student understood it. At the end of the session, we decided to discuss more problems under the topic 'Graphing quadratic problems' in the upcoming session tomorrow. I did not see any scores or grades in this session. "

"Today the student and I discussed rules of logarithms, exponential functions, and switching between forms of parabolas. He understood the majority of the concepts and needs some more practice converting from standard to vertex form for parabolas. He had a positive attitude about the material reviewed. "
