"Today we worked on functions for a state assessment exam review packet. We went over finding the slope of a linear function as well as the y-intercept. The student did well on this and at first struggled with finding the slope from a table of x and y values, but after we reviewed it more, she understood the concept. We also went over definitions of functions and talking about zero slope and no slope. She has a strong understanding of her math exam review concepts. She had a positive attitude during the session and even had pinpointed problems that she had trouble with that she wanted to ask me about during the session. Very good session."

"We did more review for the student's upcoming test on Monday (chapter 1). Topics included: odd vs. even functions, transformations, inverse functions and their graphs, the "12 main functions," word problems involving area/ volume."

"The student has a test on Thursday so she had review problems. She didn't have much trouble with them. We reviewed types of numbers and some special factoring rules. The review didn't cover some of the more challenging problems so I had her do a couple just to make sure she could do them. I think she'll do well on the test."

"The student has the SAT this Saturday, so we worked on reading comprehension and vocabulary reviews, as well as a little math review to break up the reading work. He is at the point where he understands when and why he gets questions on the reading passage sections incorrect, but he's still working on being able to spot those differences between the "best" answer and the "good but not best" answer while under time pressure. His timing for the test in general has improved greatly, and he is using the reading strategies we developed and worked on over the past sessions. Primarily, he needs to put in practice to start recognizing the patterns behind the questions, which will help guide him to the right answer. We are working on that, and hopefully he will grasp it better and better in the next sessions before his test. On another note, his ACT scores came back and he did well on them. "

"On Monday, the student and I worked on ending vowel sounds (cial, ing, tion etc.). I gave him a timed reading test of ending sounds and took note of which sounds he needs work on. We reviewed the sounds from the previous weeks. We worked on how to break a word up into syllables so that he could practice each sound individually and then place them together. We finished the session with a poetry reading to practice his interpretation skills and deriving the meaning of a word using the surrounding text."

"The student and I began our session looking over the literary elements that she needs to know for her English midterm this week. She provided the definition for each term (e.g., dramatic irony, man vs. self, personification, etc.) and then I had her give examples from literature or popular culture of the term. She did well with those and does not anticipate any issues on the final. We then moved on to her AP World History final, for which she has been given no information, other than it will cover fourteen chapters of the text. We started with the most recent information and moved backwards, looking at key terms and concepts and drawing connections across time periods and regions. I also gave her several websites that she can use to study the material for the course. They will provide her instant feedback and give her a way to focus her studying."

"We did our last review session before the final. I think the student is in a great place for the test, and he should just focus on getting sleep and being mentally comfortable with the topics rather than drilling more examples."

"The student worked on her geometry computer assignments. She worked with correctly identifying the rotation of the given figure. She explained how the teacher taught her how to successfully identify how each figure rotates about the origin. While she worked on her assignment, we discussed each problem and I had her explain how she got the answer to each problem. She did well with this math assignment. She was excited about the material because she understood how to work out the problems successfully. She worked well with this material tonight."

"During this session I helped the student review for her test on Friday. The test covered SOHCAHTOA, law of sines, law of cosines, similar triangles, and the Pythagorean theorem. Her understanding of the material improved a lot throughout the session, especially with law of sines and law of cosines. She did well with new applications of the material, such as with word problems. "

"The student and I covered a broad number of topics in the number section and ratios. She understands that her lack of basic skills prevents her from getting good grades. We discussed more aggressive approach to tackling difficult problems and pushing to not give up immediately. "

"We reviewed identifying 1st person, 2nd person, and 3rd person; interpreting allusions; how to use punctuation; identifying hyperboles, euphemisms, oxymorons, paradox, metaphors, and allusions; and lastly, identifying complex, combination, simple, and complex-compound sentences. "
