"We went over function arithmetic, functions in side of functions, review of arithmetic involving constants, and variables with exponents and the associated rules. I also helped with English paper edits. "

"We went over Logarithmic functions. The student felt comfortable with the material for the most part. We also went over practice exams in order to review some of the important chemistry concepts. "

"I helped the student understand the exponential and greatest integer function. She solved the problems at the end of the section. The lesson went very well. The student is bright and grasps the concepts very quickly. I note great progress in working with this student. "

"The student and I first worked on using regrouping to do subtraction. She seems to be catching on to it and is a very eager learner. Then we did some language arts exercises in a workbook. After that she read a chapter in her book "Sophie the Snoop." We discussed the book and it is obvious that she is understanding what she is reading and is enjoying it as well. Finally we talked about writing stories. She did not seem to understand how to make a story, but was able to tell me all about her birthday party. We turned that into a story and I gave her special stickers for writing her first story. "

"The student and I went through her latest blog post for edits. I covered independent and dependent clauses with her in very simplified terms. We talked about where you put commas in the sentences based on these rules. She did a great job editing and seemed to be very receptive to the lesson. Her speed was also quite good this session. "

"At the moment, the student is covering translation and transformation of geometric shapes in Cartesian coordinates. We're concentrating on using the in-class assignments and homework to hone in on the curriculum. My goal is to expose him to the material that he will learn before he learns it in class so that he has a foundation and doesn't feel blindsided. In future sessions, we will work on Spanish or bio if he needs help in those subjects."

"We covered functions, specifically domain, range, notation, graphing, and properties. We also covered linear regression and best fit lines, as well as how to make predictions based on a regression model. The student was struggling with word problems and properties of functions, specifically domain and range. This is something we will continue to work on. Her attitude was quite positive. I provided a methodology for how to figure out the domain and the range. I emailed several practice problems. "

"We covered the SSAT Upper math and reading sections. Our focus in math dealt with absolute value, word problems, and equations. I gave the student strategies for how to approach solving the math problems and to write all of her steps down for accuracy. She struggled a little bit with some of the math operations of the equations, so we reviewed how to solve one step equations with one unknown variable. We also worked on deriving algebraic equations from a word problem. In reading, she was given several passages by which to answer questions. Overall, she did well. We also discussed process of elimination to answer questions, as well as defining the words in the answer selection to make the best choice. Today's session went well, and I am looking forward to next week."

"The student and I are working our way through a pre-algebra textbook, only going over concepts we have not already covered. It's definitely time to bump her up to algebra, but the Life of Fred books we started with didn't cover some important concepts, such as slopes, the slope-intercept form, and its use. So I am working my way up to that. I just want to be sure we didn't miss anything else. Today, I confirmed she knows how to apply the distributive property by having her work through a few of those problems. We then moved on to scientific notation, which we have definitely not yet covered. I left several scientific notation problems for her to work on as well as several more chapter review problems. "

"We are working on reading books to make sure that the student is memorizing the individual words and not just the book. He is improving tremendously. We have settled on the Dick and Jane series and the Sound Box series. "

"The student and I worked on graphing parabolas. I explained to her how to find the focus and directrix as well as how to find an equation for a parabola based on the focus, vertex, or directrix. She seemed to understand this well at the end of our session. She also let me know that she took an assessment math test earlier in the week and she scored a 100%! She was very happy and proud of herself. "
