"The student has a Chapter 5: Section 2 test in science tomorrow over the elements and the periodic table. The first thing the student and I defined and discussed was what a property was. He had difficulty grasping the concept of "property" until I substituted "characteristics" and "traits". Next, the student began to outline in a non-uniform way, so we read together a sub-section and I outlined so he could have an example. Next, the student read and then outlined following my model. We clarified the difference between "radioactive" and "reactive" as he was using the words interchangeably. He defined and gave examples of an element and a compound as well since he was unclear on their meanings. I advised the student to continue reading and outlining Section 2. "

"Today, the student and I looked over a review for her upcoming quiz in exponential and logarithmic functions. She had completed the majority of the review on her own, and was very comfortable with using information from vertex-form exponential and logarithmic functions to graphically represent them, but was unsure of how to determine the inverse. I showed her a few examples, emphasizing the order of operations necessary to find the inverse of exponential and logarithmic functions, as well as pointing out that every term in the function is either inverted or opposed. After she worked some practice functions, she was able to consistently find the inverse. I left her with a paper showing the steps of finding the inverse, as well as labelled vertex form exponential and logarithmic functions as reference."

"Tonight we reviewed for the student's quiz on factoring and translations. We did a review sheet her mom provided and then some additional practice on factoring completely, per the student's request. She seems to have a strong grasp of the material."

"The student and I reviewed the subject of FOIL (First, Inside, Outside, Last) distribution of radical functions. Though she had a little trouble at first, she mastered the process by the end of our session. She simply needs to be reminded that, at the end of the day, when dealing with these kinds of functions, she is simply adding and subtracting between 4 numbers. There are a lot of numbers being juggled around, so she needs to complete these types of problems with a clean sheet of notebook paper. I am confident that she has mastered this material."

"We covered area of a circle and composite shapes. We also reviewed circumference of a circle. The student needed help with understanding how formulas apply to the problem sets and variable equations. This session was focused on preparation for his upcoming test. I left him with links to a website he can use to review for his test. is current grade is a B, which is an improvement since I have started tutoring with him."

"Today, the student and I did his homework. We worked on reading a passage and then answering multiple choice questions. I showed him how to go back and look at the passage before answering the questions. He had a little bit of trouble finding a synonym for the word labor, but after we spoke about it, he understood. "

"The student and I prepared for her Chapter 10 (w/Chapter 9) test about derivatives, limits and vector analysis. I focused on the definition of a derivative for a large portion of the session, which is a limit describing the instantaneous rate of change for a function. We developed and repeated several techniques to tackle analyzing the derivative. She needed to repeat this process before the test so she would be more efficient in her analysis. Her understanding of vectors was very solid. We focused on dot products, understanding the dot product produces a scalar, not vector, result. "

"The student read out loud from a book about animals and we worked on addition with carrying. She did very well and I'm planning to move on to subtraction next week. I also plan to have her write a story to work on her reading and writing skills. "
