"We focused on different ways of completing multiplication problems. We reviewed the student's homework (a worksheet on 6-1). We also worked on Unit 5. We went over a worksheet and problems he had answered incorrectly. "

"The student and I covered fractions, more specifically reducing fractions using the greatest common factors. It was definitely a challenge for her, which she actually seemed to enjoy. Our time went by so quickly because we were extremely productive. She did a good job."

"We began the session with vocabulary building and practice with analogies. I gave the student a copy of the most popular analogies. We then practice identifying relationships between words using the cheat sheet I gave her. Whatever words she didn't know I had her write them down along with its definition. We also performed a practice run of the reading section. The reading material was a little more advanced which gave her some trouble. I gave her some tips on how to approach certain questions that appear in the section frequently. We ended the session going over corrections."

"Today we reviewed for the student's upcoming test on radicals, exponents, and imaginary numbers. He is still having some difficulty with the rules for multiplying radicals versus adding/subtracting them; I reminded him that if he's adding or subtracting, they must be like terms and are treated the same as variables (i.e. x times x is x to the second power, but x+x is 2x, and same with radicals). He has been practicing and between that and our sessions, hopefully he'll do well on his test. "

"The student has been working on her Pre-Calculus class. She had to retake a quiz, so we went over the problems she missed. The topic for the unit was function domain and range (more specifically the definition of a function)."

"Today was the final review before the student's midterm. We finished reviewing the material, including diffusion through cell membranes and enzymes. She was having particular difficulty in understanding the diffusion of water and particles, but I was able to explain it to her in a way she could comprehend and apply on her test. At the end, we did a quizzing session on all of the material, and she definitely has a clear understanding of all of the concepts and should do well on her test."

"Today we continued with handling exponents and then looked at end behavior of polynomial functions. The student is able to grasp concepts in tutoring sessions. I have recommended taking notes regularly and being extra careful with small details when solving problems. If she still feels confused about any concepts covered in class, she is welcome to email me her questions."

"The student just started his semester at school, so we went over his homework for school. He's doing well - he's showing significant improvements in speed of factoring/expansion of polynomials - I was very impressed. This new content that we went over involved using the distance formula and equations of circles to solve problems. I believe this is to introduce them to the unit circle and trig very soon. This content wasn't very difficult and the student did not seem to struggle at all - I was there to provide information as needed and as appropriate."

"The student and I covered sections 8.1-8.3 of her textbook on GCF, factoring monomials, and factoring quadratic equations. I also had her take two mock tests and she scored about 90% on the factoring quadratic equations portion, and about 50% on the chapter review test. She is strong and ready for her exam in terms of factoring quadratic equations but she will really need to focus on factoring monomials, which we will do tomorrow. I left her some practice worksheets and we will continue to practice problems in order to prepare her for her exam."

"We reviewed for a test covering the law of sines and the law of cosines. The student practiced writing out his work in order to achieve the correct solution. I emphasized the importance of writing out each step and double checking that the final solution is reasonable. He did quite well on the calculations and chose which law (sine/cosine) to use in each situation."

"The student's mom reported a surprising new spelling mistake that the student has made a few times lately. He is having trouble distinguishing between d and j, particularly when the d is paired with r. It seems unusual, but if you say the sounds slowly, you can hear the similarity. He and I spent some time in the our lesson playing around with those sounds and thinking about how we form them. He did good work, overall, today, and we worked on multi-syllabic words. He also did well on his handwriting practice. "
