"We covered logarithmic and exponential functions and their properties, including the product property, quotient property, change of base formula, and inverse property of logarithmic and exponential functions. It will be key for the student going forward to practice math often and regularly to perform well on her exams. She is understanding the material well and does her work thoroughly and accurately."

"The student's final is tomorrow, so we studied all the topics that will be covered. Her teacher gave her a formula sheet that she can use on the test, so we went over that and did some sample problems. We focused on area, volume, and circles. But we also went back and reviewed the quadratic formula. "

"We covered GCF, factoring, and how to change radicals into fractional exponents. She was struggling most with not paying close attention to the problem and making small mistakes as a result. She was determined to learn the rules and complete the examples correctly. I showed her three ways to factor and how to use flashcards to her advantage. I did not leave her with additional work or see any grades. Wins from this session were that she remembered the concepts I taught her last session and used that knowledge to solve problems from yesterday's session."

"The student finished the homework and started the chapter review for the first chapter of calculus. The last homework covered infinite limits and limits of rational functions. The chapter review covered limits, continuity, removable and nonremovable discontinuities, continuity of piecewise functions, and the intermediate value theorem. "

"The student and I reviewed for his upcoming Unit II Test. We specifically worked on these types of problems: Properties of numbers, Identities, Order of Operations, Solving Multi-step equations, Special Equations, Fractional Equations & Literal Equations. Most of our time was spent practicing literal equations. These are general algebraic equations, but instead of having numbers and one variable, the equation is made up entirely of letters. He let me know that he felt like he has been playing a bit of catch up in regards to this part of the course material. We went over some of the practice problems from his worksheet, and I also gave him additional questions to practice. He seemed to quickly grasp the concepts of using letters in the same fashion that one would use numbers when solving algebraic equations. Some tips for the equations that I stressed are whatever you do to one side do to the other. Specifically, that when you add to one side you must add to the other, and show this by using an addition side rather than placing the added value next to the other value using a multiplication symbol. I am very excited to be working with him; he seems to have a lot of intrinsic motivation to succeed in his class and has a very sharp mind. I am looking forward to our next session! "

"Today the student and I worked on another ACT practice test, focusing specifically on the math section. He showed noticeable improvement in his ability to answer questions quickly and accurately. Although he didn't need much help on the first 20 or so questions, he needed assistance as the questions grew harder. I was able to help him see through tricky problems and gave him strategies to answer questions without having to work them out, thereby saving time and effort. "

"Today we finished going over the practice test that we've been working on, and I helped the student prepare for an upcoming math test. He still hasn't done a full practice test on his own. I spoke with his mother and I really want to try to get him to take one before his actual test on Monday. He has mentioned test anxiety before. I believe the best way to combat it is to get used to the test format."

"The student shared that he scored 100% on his math test last week! This is a big difference from his previous tests, on which he originally scored less than 70%. We introduced order of operations, which he will be starting in class tomorrow. He received the new procedure very well, and as we completed practice problems, he only needed about 3 corrections out of 20 problems. He found the word problems in this section to be very easy to solve, so I gave him the extra challenge of writing out the expression that could be used to solve each problem. The last problem was a bit tricky because he solved in the wrong order, but once we discussed it, he understood that he had to multiply and divide before subtracting."

"We reviewed the writing portion of the SSAT, along with questions on the verbal that the student missed during his diagnostic test. He should practice some of the verbal categories that he got wrong on the test."

"Reviewed concepts of right triangles for an upcoming test: Pythagorean theorem and special rules for 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles. We specifically did multiple word problems on his review sheet. From going over the materials the student has from school, I have noticed that the pace of the class in terms of learning new material varies quite dramatically."

"We went over Riemann sums and finding the area between 2 curves. He seems very competent in these areas, and knows what to do. He just needs more practice integrating between two curves. Overall, good job!"
