"The student and I had a good tutoring session tonight and got through the materials for both the Spanish and Bio test, as well as an upcoming Spanish quiz. He had created study-sheets for these assignments, which was awesome to see! We also mapped out a plan for his finals prep, including a timeline for his essay. He showed great initiative today and I'm looking forward to seeing him again."

"We read his World History homework together and he filled in his homework study guide. We talked about each section so I knew he understood the material. He was very engaged. It was a pleasure working with him."

"This session focused on reading. We read various fiction books aimed at working on decoding and comprehension skills. After reading, the student practiced retelling and discussing the characters in the text. All in all, he did very well with the retelling, but still needs to work on including actual character names in the retelling, versus using pronouns. This is a skill that we will continue to work on during our next session. I left some books for him to practice with until then. "

"The student and I started by reviewing the concept which his calculus instructor just introduced the previous day: linearization. I introduced a brief lesson on the topic, breaking it down for him in simpler, less complex terminology. I modeled two examples and then had him complete two guided practice examples. He aced the solution to both examples. He said he wished for me to introduce the topic which he would next be taught in his calculus class, optimization. I explained how optimization works, the purposes behind it and the steps to successfully solve an optimization problem. I modeled two optimization problems, which he completed on his own."

"We worked on a project for math class in which the student drew a shape then performed various translations and reflections on a graph. Later, we reviewed his homework problems which focused on scale factor. The lesson was especially interested in how perimeter and area of dilations were affected by scale factor. At the end, we reviewed algebraic concepts of multiplication such as isolating variables with division."

"The student and I worked on more practice problems during our session. She is definitely grasping the information and is demonstrating basic knowledge required to pass the assessment math test. We are planning on meeting a few more times before exam to set her up for success on her test."

"The student worked on decimal division to start tonight. She remembered how to move the decimal to start the problem, and she did an excellent job with the division. She has grown tremendously with the division. For fraction review, we practiced equivalent fractions, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions. She has become fluent in these concepts and shows competency in all of these skills right now."

"The student was preparing for her next test on Friday. The good news was that she passed her last test! Bringing her grade up from the 60's to an 80 is exciting. Our first goal was for her to pass. So to prepare for this next test, we practiced from each of the sections. She seems quite confident when figuring probabilities for events, using the fundamental counting principle to find the number of possible outcomes, calculating factorials and using permutations. We went through several tree diagrams to confirm the process. At the end of the session, we made a short one-page study guide to summarize the main ideas from each section."

"We covered specifically the topics of chapter 15, which had to do with rate laws, zero and first and second order kinetics, half life, integrated rate laws, and kinetics in regards to reactants and products. We started the session by going over the chapter in the textbook as the student made a study guide with all the important concepts and all the key equations that she should master and learn how to integrate. We then went forward and completed her chapter 15 online mastering chemistry homework. We will meet on Thursday and complete the chapter 16 homework. "

"We covered essay writing. The student had an argumentative essay due the next day. She had a draft and a packet that showed what she needed to write. She needed help with the overall extra essay structure, use of transition words, and understanding some vocabulary words. She likes English class and writing. She has an emergent writer's voice and is focused on her topic. She was able to finish her final essay in the one session. "

"Today we covered normal distribution which is a new unit in the student's class. The student was very knowledgeable about the material they had covered and was able to complete a variety of normal distribution problems. I assigned her a few problems of my own as well as some practice from her textbook. We also worked on some quadratic and cubic equations and finding their maximums and minimums."
