"We wrote a letter back to his 2nd grade teacher so he could respond to his teacher's mail she had sent. Then we worked 5 pages in his 2nd grade workbook."

"The student completed her review assignment over unit circle and solving trigonometric functions. We discussed patterns in the unit circle and how to use reference angles to solve more complex trigonometric problems."

"I first reviewed the 20 new vocabulary words the student will write sentences for next session. Then I discussed with the her previous 20 words and sentences and made the necessary corrections with grammar and correct usage of the words. Then I explained the writing assignment for next week on emotional writing. We read two examples of how to write an emotional appeal emphasizing key uses of diction appealing to a reader's emotions. Lastly, we were able to review one page of grammar on tense from the grammar book I use."

"I met with the student today at 4:30-6 p.m. He had a science project to complete, a worksheet (science), and a writing assignment. We discussed his progress thus far, and he said mid-term grades are being sent home. He feels pretty good about his grades. I reviewed/edited the writing assignment along with him. He already had it typed and just has to make the corrections."

"Today we worked on Riemann sums. The student did not struggle with the material and his attitude was positive throughout the session. I included strategies to simplify the material. "

"During our session today, the student and I covered limits and derivatives. These concepts were a continuation of what was covered last week. We discussed limits in greater detail. Specifically, we talked about some of the shortcuts when working with limits (how to eliminate holes, working with infinity, and single sided limits). We also briefly talked about continuity and how to find out if a function is continuous by looking at its equation. When discussing derivatives, we focused on how to solve limits using the power rule. We also went into detail on the second and third derivative. We concluded our session by discussing what derivatives mean and how they can be used to solve real life problems (in the form of work problems). The student was very engaging with the material and throughout the session. She was asking questions frequently. We even got the chance to review one of her former tests and walk through the problems she did not fully understand."

"We spent today's session on Language Arts. The student worked from a homeschooling textbook. Its lessons included two stories, 'Holly's Story,' that included a series of Q & A that she answered correctly. The second story, 'The Lake Cabin,' included an exercise wherein she drew what was described in the story. She had fun with this. She then completed two comprehension practice tests, scoring 100% on both. We concluded today's session with the student completing a worksheet that had her define synonyms and antonyms. She did very well today while being in a playful mood."

"The student needed help preparing for the ACT this Saturday to improve her math score. We went through ACT study questions from the guide and I worked with her on the methods and explanations for Algebra/geometry problems. She is better in Algebra, but needs more help in geometry. She will study on her own and highlight the problems where she has questions. I will have some more study questions ready for Wednesday. She felt this was helping her to get ready."

"Today we worked on chemistry. We were able to finish question from 10 chapters. We finished all the problems successfully and the student understood them. She was eager to learn and was full of energy during the session. "

"During today's session we went over standard deviation, normal bell curve distribution, and probability. She understands and is able to do problems when the information is explained a little more thoroughly. She is very bright and is very willing to learn. I told her to make cheat sheets of her equations and simple rules for each chapter so that she can have that by her. This will help her learn the concepts a little better because she can put the rules in her own words. "

"I reviewed with the student how to find the vertex and roots of a parabola when given just the equation as she was not sure about how to do that and didn't follow her teacher's notes very well. Afterwards, we spent the rest of our time on understanding imaginary numbers. I emphasized to the student that the concept of imaginary numbers is quite abstract, and that that she should focus on the definition of an imaginary number to do well on this unit. We practiced with finding powers of i and simplifying fractions that have i in the denominator. "
