"The student and I worked on trigonometric simplification homework problems, and reviewed some basic rules for simplifying them. She has a very strong basic mathematics foundation, only requiring moderate intervention when solving problems and setting them up. "

"We continued to work on the student's school writing project. We edited the draft we had written last time and it is ready for a final copy. We also began an advertisement poster promoting a non-fiction book on the Industrial Revolution. "

"The main topic we covered this session was finding asymptotes for, and the drawing of, hyperbolas. The way that worked the best for the student was the transformation from the parent graph of f(x)= 1/x . We also looked backwards in the unit to make sure she was ready for the upcoming quiz on Thursday."

"Today, we went over some old math homework. The student strongly grasps her math concepts. She becomes more prone to minor mistakes after working for an extended period of time. Her homework was on decimals (adding, subtracting and rounding) and she performed very well."

"We discussed the student's goals for the test. We then did some English passages. He does not seem to have any specific error patterns, but we discussed common issues like commas, run-on sentences, and semicolons. We also did a few math problems and a couple of science passages. It appears that his main issue is minor errors. We will work on slowing down and reading/responding to the questions carefully. He will try to complete 2-3 English passages, some science, and maybe reading if he has the chance. "

"We walked through the student's Rosetta Stone program to determine which unit corresponded to her language level. We then did several lessons together, including pronunciation. I went over pronunciation tips with her and rules on how to determine which syllable to place the emphasis when pronouncing a word. During the second part of the session we went over her homework and practiced how to approach a challenging question. "

"The student and I worked on finding vertical and horizontal asymptotes, x and y intercepts, domain, range, and graphing rational functions. We talked about the different methods for finding each. By the end of the session he was pretty confident in his abilities to find all the necessary items from a rational function."

" I am encouraged that the student has made good progress over our 5 sessions. This session had a different pace and texture because we were covering something more ambiguous: the essays. We covered all of the main strategies and made some really good progress within the 2 hours we had. She was uncomfortable at first with the types of prompts on the analyze-an-issue section, and I think she had some sustained trouble picking apt examples. However, I think we covered some good tools to refine example choices. As long as she is able to review our materials and strategies, and not too much time passes before she takes her assessment, I think she will be in a good position to give her best performance. She was very comfortable and had a knack for the analyze an argument section. I will follow up with her to see what develops."

"Tonight was my first meeting with the student. We covered strategies for taking the verbal part of her exam. We went through several exercises on synonyms and sentence completion. I showed her how to use context clues in order to pick the best answer for the question. We will continue to work on verbal strategies including a vocabulary review."

"We reviewed unit 2 & began unit 3. Worked again on exponents and functions. Also introduced the foundations of imaginary numbers and working with them in equations. "

"The student and I spoke in French in order for me to survey her level. We also discussed at length "painless" ways to improve her pronunciation."
