"We started going over his review for his midterm on Tuesday. We went over vocabulary term and theorems in the first part of his class. "

"The student brought home his math notebook so I referenced it to come up with problems for him to solve. We worked on a variety of concepts, such as adding/subtracting decimals, adding/subtracting/multiplying fractions, lines/angles/polygons, prime/composite numbers and various word problems. Again, it is clear that the student is incredibly bright, but he tends to rush his answers and likes to solve things in his head, which is the only time he makes mistakes. I'm trying to get him to slow down and write things down so that he can avoid making these minor errors. For our next session, I asked him to again bring home his math notebook and any reading materials he might have. I am enjoying my time with the student, as he is intelligent and eager to solve the math problems I give him. "

"The student and I met for the first time today. We discussed convergence tests for series. He has a pretty good idea about most of these and we cleared up his remaining questions. He has a test tomorrow and we worked on review material that he provided from his class. "

"The student worked on math problems involving multiplying double digit numbers and three-digit numbers. She worked some word problems with these numbers, too. She then completed an analysis of a poem. We discussed what a Blood Moon and a lunar eclipse are and when the next Blood Moon will occur. She calculated how old she will be when the next one occurs."

"During this session, the student and I prepared for his upcoming vocabulary quiz. He got the test results back for his previous test and showed a noticeable improvement. He still would like to increase that grade even more, and we discussed what his goals are for the class. We began by having him write the Spanish word as I called out the English word. Getting in the habit of writing the words out is important, as it mirrors the test and will help reinforce accents and tildes that are carried by certain words. After going through each of the words, we checked his answers to determine where he should focus the remainder of his studying. For every word that he skipped or misspelled, we created flashcards. We then went through all of the flashcards in order to reinforce the ones that he did not know. Although he had a good grip on the words as a whole, there were a number of words that he would need additional practice with. With the test being the next day, he mentioned that he was going to study for another 45 minutes or so. Beginning the studying process sooner in preparation for a test or quiz will be key for his success in the class. We discussed studying earlier for a test and ways to begin studying. He has another test coming up next Friday, so we mapped out a study plan that will allow him to get ahead of the game and have more repetition with the concepts and vocabulary. When we meet again, we will solidify this plan even more to see how he can most effectively study. "

"We went over practice problems for the student's final exam on Tuesday. We started with the newer ideas and then went back to older topics like the normal distribution. We finished with matched pairs. The meeting went well."

"Today the student had several items of homework to go through. I helped her understand certain concepts regarding pressure, as well as discerning a political cartoon from the Civil War. Finally, she had to make a quiz for a classroom project regarding the science section that we covered earlier. She showed a strong understanding of the subject material and was able to answer most of the questions on her own without any help. "

"Student A and I started with correcting the answers to a reading assignment about similar poems. She needed help finding the underlying meaning of the poems, but through conversation understood what each question was asking. We also did a bit of math work and filled in her times table together. She's getting better at noticing the patterns for each number when multiplying. Student B worked on math homework and also filled in a times table. She was able to complete the table fairly quickly. Both girls are pretty good at seeing what information is important in word problems."
