"We covered some foundational concepts, including domain and range, particularly when applied to rational functions. From these concepts, we touched on domain restrictions involving discontinuities, such as asymptotes and holes, then moved toward reviewing the definition of rational functions (including polynomial functions, in their abstract form), along with example problems, segueing into techniques for finding vertical, horizontal, and oblique (or slant) asymptotes. Finally, we looked at the fundamental theorem of algebra, and its better known form, "the n zeroes theorem." I also had the student do a practice problem that involved factoring using complex conjugates and long division. The student seemed to have a very positive disposition toward my exposition of the material, and his conceptual understanding of the material was solid. I encouraged the student to experiment with his calculator more, both to see what kinds of things it's capable of and take the opportunity to explore some of the more advanced mathematical concepts that it provides access to. Furthermore, I wanted to get the student in the habit of using his technological tools to check his work and do better error analysis to help identify his own mistakes. "

"Today we covered: How to translate from logarithmic form to exponential form and reverse; How to solve equations written in logarithmic or exponential form; and How to simplify rational expressions by finding common factors, factoring trinomials involved with multiplication and division. The student needs more practice with logarithms in fraction form as well as powers of a base. With factoring, more time must be spent with factoring binomials and trinomials. She appears to be getting a better grasp of the material."

"We finished his geometry review packet. We also finished his homework on circles. He spent some extra time going through slope formula, distance formula, and midpoint."

"The student and I went over concepts and problems in permutations and combinations. He grasped the concepts really quickly. He was very positive and eager to go over the material. I will send him a short practice problem set for our next session."

"We had an organizational session for the new year, discussing the student's hours and math and science subjects. He will be taking algebra as his math class and biology as his science. I will be helping him with both."

"Firstly, don't worry too much about your ability using the graphing calculator. Make sure to get used to using it in case the instructor asks you to use it during a problem online, but past that point I think you should concern yourself more with the mathematical concepts than a calculator. You have plenty of practice problems to work online, and I know you need to pass a certain amount of points soon, so if you need help with a problem, you can always email me a question you have. The biggest problem for students is typically the transition between the visual part, including graphs, and the algebraic part, including multiplying or adding functions. It seems you're having more of a problem with regard to the visual part. If you get used to the graphing calculator, if you so want to I would suggest making up different functions yourself and graphing them on it. This way, you will be able to see how different functions look. For instance, if you graph something like f(x) = x^3 + 4x - 2 and then graph f(x) = -(x^3 + 4x - 2), you should notice why the graph changed simply because you placed a negative sign in front of it. Graph functions and make small changes like these to them and you will notice a pattern among them. And don't forget to refer to the bullet points I made on what we went over. I'm looking forward to helping you next week."

"As this was the final session with the student, I met with him, his mother, and the new potential tutor. We discussed his ability level and his needs in a tutor. We demonstrated his levels in both reading and math. "

"I helped the student study for a science test on the immune system. We specifically covered the following concepts: relation of pathogens and infectious diseases; the four types of pathogens; the four ways pathogens are spread; the body's first line of defense; the body's second line of defense, the inflammatory response; the body's third line of defense, the immune response; the cause of allergies; effects of cancer on the body; the definition of epidemiology; and a causes of death comparison between the year 1900 and today. The student was engaged and attentive during this session. I introduced him to the "old school" study strategy of "read, write, recite." He found it an effective method of helping him remember the material. The win from this session was his improvement with note-taking skills."

"We covered material for the student's upcoming algebra exam, which involved solving systems of equations through substitution, elimination, or via graphing. The only part he struggled with involved interpreting word problems, which we worked on until he felt confident in them. He has also organized all his tests in preparation for the final semester exam, and is extremely prepared for the test."

"The student and I prepared for his upcoming test by working through a series of problems mostly on trigonometry. The most important topics we covered were solving word problems using trigonometric ratios, solving triangles from given information, and working with transformations of sine and cosine graphs."

"We covered some material from his test, dealing with momentum and kinetic energy, before moving into a practice frq test. The student and I worked through the material together until they felt comfortable with each question. "

"The boys both finished their compare and contrast rough draft essays! We had to sit outside, so there was some competition for their focus, but they pushed through when redirected. The first student struggled a bit with turning his prewriting notes and thoughts into complete sentences, but did better when I gave examples. The second student is great at understanding the structure of a good essay, but is struggling a bit with elaborating his details. They were both assigned to make corrections to their rough drafts, so that next session we can continue revising the drafts and complete reviewing their final drafts. "
