"Because the student had so much work over break, we decided to meet up once over the holiday to get him caught up. There was no doubt that he was overloaded with work, and it was affecting his ability to work efficiently. Rather than focus on content matter, I tried to help break the work down into smaller chunks that were less overwhelming to work on. We also made a study plan to help maximize his efficiency this break, and also give him the most restful schedule possible with his workload."

"Today the student and I went over the basics to implicit differentiation. This was a new topic for him, but I think he really caught on with the use of examples. We also applied the use of implicit differentiation to determine tangent lines to different types of curves. We also briefly went over indefinite integrals and limits (using L'Hopital's rule). He seems to really be understanding the material."

"We went over multiple review problems and then created a study guide of the major themes. It was the best of the three sessions we've had. She will likely be prepared for her exam tomorrow."

"This session we discussed a HW exercise on "magic squares." The student was able to complete the exercises. We also reviewed converting fractions to decimals and percents for an upcoming quiz. She had the primary fractions memorized. We discussed how to check answers by estimation and by referencing known values. "

"With the student, we covered topics such as the male and female reproductive system, the excretory system, the respiratory system, and fluids. She will still need to improve her content knowledge in order to really do well on these passages and on future passages. We will continue to focus on this in future sessions."

"We worked with two books sent home from the student's school, focusing on her reading fluency and comprehension. I also gave her a practice spelling test for her Level 12 words. She did very well, only missing four words. I had her practice writing her missed words. "

"Student A had already completed her homework when I arrived. She told me sometimes she even works on it while walking home. So I let her know that wasn't the safest idea, even if it is nice to be done early. Student B had relatively little homework today. We looked over a math quiz from last week, and then she completed the assigned division word problems. Then we studied for her science test, which I think she will do well on. We discussed staying calm during tests, and that tests are important but not the most important thing in life. Student C had word problems in his math homework as well, and some analog clock practice. He did ok on his practice spelling test. He has the bonus words this week, and they're pretty tough. But he knew from the beginning which ones he needs to work on."

"We worked on calculus first, and the student worked through a homework set covering applications of derivatives using the first and second derivative. We worked on how to find the graph using first and second derivatives as well as asymptotes. We then transitioned to going over chemistry in preparation for the exam. We focused on energy equations and how they relate to wavelength/ frequency as well as to binding energy and electrons switching energy states. We went through a lot of calculation intensive problems trying to grasp a better understanding of how all the equations are interconnected. We will continue our review tomorrow."

"We worked on a discussion based assessment problem. It started out with area under the curve, solids of revolution, arc length, and a more complicated area under the curve question. Then we spent time working on a 3D volume problem and I stressed the importance of visualizing the solid. We moved on to implicit differentiation at the end. The student knows her concepts; she just needs to slow down sometimes and check the details, as well as graph or visualize the problem."

"The student and I studied for her math test. We discussed quadratic word problems and completing the square. She feels confident for her test. Then we edited her English paper. We discussed some different grammar phrases. "

"We went over his midterm and reviewed concepts he had missed or struggled with in preparation for the final, including flow rate, simple harmonic motion, work, energy, simple machines, pressure, and hydraulic levers. For next session, we are going to review the unit that the student is currently studying. "
