"The student had a transformations worksheet that had more problems like her test last week. She mentioned that she got a 95 on the test and could have had a 100 but changed an answer that would have been correct. Then she had an online assignment to work on, which we finished the session working on. This assignment was a reverse of the other one in which she had to come up with the equation based on listed transformations."

"Today the student and I worked on FOIL, graphing of a straight line, graphing of a parabola, and rules of exponents."

"We discussed completing the square and axis of symmetry of a parabola. The student was struggling with completing the square at the start, but after doing some examples together she was doing all problems completely independently with little error. She seemed to have a good understanding of all concepts discussed. "

"In today's session and last week's session the student and I discussed his common app essay and how he might rework the last third to work better with the first part. We brainstormed ways he could create a second story to serve as a continuation of the first. This week I saw his attempt at a second story, and it was great. What he should work on now is just rethinking some of his phrases for maximum clarity and effect, and making the overall structure of the essay stronger with a few words of connection, or repeated phrases or structures. I pointed out places where he can do this in the draft. I also think it would be very useful for him to have other people read it now and give their own feedback--an advisor or someone else who knows what a successful college admissions essay looks like.

"We're still reviewing for the student's test. We continued to cover the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, but we also reviewed the derivative tests, the mean theorem of calculus, and rates. She is getting excited about understanding this material."

"In today's session the student and I went over the nervous system, focusing on the anatomy and functions of the system as a whole as well as the anatomy and function of neurons. We went through a lot of material, taking time between each topic to go over any questions he had about the information. We had time to go over neurotransmitters in some detail and relate it back to how neurons work. We also briefly went over vision and hearing, with me providing examples from the animal kingdom to help those senses. He also told me that he expects to get the results of his test soon. He felt confident after taking it, and I look forward to seeing improvement. "

"Today, the student was reviewing for his final exam in college statistics. We covered computing the mean and standard deviation from a frequency table, probability of exclusive and non exclusive events, and terminology. I sent him a hint on performing regression analysis for later."

"I worked with the student on trigonometric identities. She just started the chapter, and I gave her some hints on how to study and memorize formulas. "

"The student and I worked with problems involving the rearrangement of variables within an equation. He was confused when it came to the rules for moving terms across the equal sign, so I reminded him to first determine what the particular term is doing to the side of the equation he wants to move it away from (whether it's being added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided) and then to perform the opposite operation with the term to both sides of the equation. After reminding him a few times at the start of the problems and asking him to reflect on how the terms were affecting the equation and what would be necessary to move/cancel it, he started getting the hang of it."

"The student is working on finding an unknown when certain factors are given for polygons. For instance, finding the height of a triangle if the base is 10 and the area is 50. He got a B on his last test! "

"The student is doing well with his Chemistry and geometry. His current subject in class is electrochemistry, but he gets that so well, that I only briefly looked it over with him, before going on to future work. I talked about naming alkanes and then explained the nature of chemical bonding using Lewis dot structures. He is very smart; he will learn quickly, and this theory will help him should he get advanced chemistry next year. "

"The student and I went over his writing homework. He needed to fill out some pages in a workbook, and read a short story with pictures. He read and understood the story very easily, and was able to discuss it well. He enjoyed working on his own story and read and created sentences easily."
