"We not only have the student caught up, but we have her ahead of schedule. We started in on conics. We went over some general properties of conics and how to recognize what type they were. We then went over parabolas. I am going over those problems again before submitting them."

"We reviewed some trig topics from last time including the unit circle, right triangles, and special triangles. We then worked on trigonometric identities, simplifying trig expressions, and verifying identities. The student did fairly well with this, and I assigned him more trig identity problems in order to memorize identities and to gain more practice with the strategies."

"We reviewed old work (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). The student is still slower with division than I would like, but when she is focused on the other work, she does much better than when we originally started working, so it was nice to check to see that she has maintained her progress. We then reviewed the 9 rules for exponents that she needs to know for her test and did some practice problems. She has some trouble identifying which rules to use and especially has trouble with negative exponents, but I think the review helped and I emphasized the importance of learning those 9 rules for her test at the end of the week. We will continue working on these rules when I meet with her again."

"We went over Geometry problems for her quiz packet. The Geometry problems involved finding areas of regular polygons. I gave her some tips on how to use her previous knowledge in order to help her find the area of these polygons. Overall, the session was excellent."

"The student brought his last homework assignment in math on which he only missed one question. His times tables are as strong as they were when we met last in February. We worked in the assessment workbook; the problems on fractions, primarily on determining lesser than or greater than, did not present a problem for him. I began to teach him how to add or subtract fractions, which he hasn't yet covered in class. On adding and subtracting time, he needs some practice. I reminded him to bring his book next time we meet. The student told me that she took the assessment in March, but has not seen results yet. Her teachers have told her that she will take it again this year. We worked primarily in an assessment practice test, focusing on fractions - adding, subtracting, finding common denominators, and answering word problems. She indicated that she has a new assessment booklet / practice test, which I asked her to bring next time. We also reviewed times tables and square numbers."

"The student completed the assignment from the last lesson, even exceeding expectations and doing more work than assigned. We reviewed study techniques for 10 minutes. Afterwards, we worked on an oral quiz of the material he took notes on. All told, we spent 30 minutes reviewing study skills and previous material. For the next hour, we set out to write as many notes as possible in order to prepare for a unit test over the weekend. We alternated 7 minutes of note taking, 7 minutes reviewing the notes and concepts, and finished by 2 minutes of deep breathing in order to prepare for more note taking. His ability to take notes increased during the duration. Also, he started getting deeper into the concepts the longer he practiced. He's progressing wonderfully, and has demonstrated excellent work ethic. "

"Today, the student and I reviewed his quiz he got back this week and reviewed concepts for his upcoming test. On the quiz, he struggled with completing the square to put parabolas in vertex form and optimization problems. After some practice, he seemed much more confident in these areas. We have another session planned for this coming Tuesday, so we can review before his test. Overall, a very good session!"

"The student and I went over her sight words together. After that, we read her SRP book. She had a little bit of trouble on it, so we choral read together and then she read by herself. She did much better after that. She read her "Frog and Toad are Friends" book to me. She did really well reading this. She seemed to be very interested in the book. We did a sight word game where she arranged the sight words in alphabetical order, and then she read me all the sight words for time. She finished in 8 minutes and 40 seconds. "

"We talked mostly about trigonometry today. The student's class has moved into modeling functions with sinusoidal functions. I showed her the general equation for a sinusoidal function and how to determine the amplitude, vertical and horizontal offset, and the horizontal period. The most difficult concept (and the one we spent the most time on) was the relationship between the period of a sinusoidal function and the multiplier found in the equation. Looking at some specific examples with graphs helped a lot. She had recently completed a lab involving gravimetric analysis and wanted me to check her work. Her analysis was quite excellent, so I had very little to correct. She had a quiz on stoichiometry today, which she found less difficult than she was expecting and less difficult than the stoichiometry that we worked on yesterday."

"Today, after having taken a few days off for the Christmas holiday, we started off with some essay topic discussion and practice. This enabled the student to ease back into the ISEE testing mindset before taking any practice tests or working through any sample problems. We then shifted to verbal reasoning practice, which ended up taking the remainder of our time. She completed a 34-question practice test which we then reviewed in detail. Each word -- either in the question itself or the answer choices -- we looked up and talked about its uses in various contexts. I purposely chose a higher difficulty level for this one so that she could be challenged a bit more as the test date approaches. She learned many new words she had never even seen before -- words which we will have to continue to go over in order for them to remain in her mind."

"We focused primarily on study packets for the exam. These packets covered many subjects ranging from polynomial manipulation, quadratic functions and probability. Both students showed proficiency in all the subjects and didn't have any major struggles. Overall they were very focused and have remained diligent."
