"We went over properties of trapezoids, rhombi, and kites to help solve for variables and angles. The student has a quiz tomorrow on this material and he should do well. He will have to remember that kites have perpendicular diagonals and only one symmetry axis."

"The student worked on radioactivity today. He learned about alpha, beta, and gamma radiation and completed two work sheets. We then reviewed half lives. This was a difficult concept for him to understand especially because three were four different kinds of problems. He successfully completed a two page worksheet and then I made up about six practice problems for him to complete. He seemed to understand the concept after he finished those problems. "

"The student is nearing the AP Calculus Exam, so we reviewed a section of multiple choice problems he had completed. He had already corrected many of them, and we focused on five that were still giving him trouble. Once he felt comfortable with that, we moved on to a free response section, and he was able to complete the problems without too much assistance from me. He seems very prepared for his test in early May. "

"Today, we went over the rest of the student's NodeJS assignment from class. She has a project that's due in 2 weeks, so we conceptually talked through the project. We also talked about another project that she has due next week, so we are going to meet again on Tuesday because she thinks that she will have some questions by then. I went over some GitHub commands that will be useful during her group project that's due next week. We also went over some GitHub structural processes that will make group work much easier and prevent last minute bug fixes. She seems very excited to be learning extra things outside of her classes. She seems to be doing well in her class. "

"We began our session today by going over her homework. She did well on every problem expect for the sequence and function notation questions. Function notation has been a problem for a while, so we spent about 30 minutes going over it. We also did a reading and a grammar section today. She scored very well on both, which is typical for her. Our goal was to make sure that each section stays fresh in her mind. "

"Mathematics- We reviewed multi- step problems. We reviewed coding key words in problems to know the operations required to solve a problem. Academic Coaching: I reminded the student the proper ways to mark the problems in showing his work. Reading ( Grade 1)- We completed a portion of the student's reading log. He and I reviewed character problems, solutions, and text selections."

"Today, the student and I began our session with Latin. She had a story to translate, which she worked on and then talked to me about. Then, she moved on to her biology, for which she had a lab report to write. We then reviewed her college and career goals and what steps she needs to take to realize those goals."

"In our first session, the student and I started by working on the draft of her statistics project. We talked about some of the necessary details she will need to include in her description of an experiments. Some of the specific concepts we discussed were control groups, confounding variables, data collection, standard deviation, and how to properly display her results in graphs. After working on the project, we went through some practice problems involving mean, median, mode and measures of central tendency."

"In this session, the student and I worked on some of his Geometry homework in preparation for an upcoming quiz. We covered an introduction to conics, specifically differentiating conic sections and graphing circles. The biggest challenges for him involved "completing the square" when converting into standard form of the circle equation. This required him to recall material from last year's Algebra. After a demonstration, he seemed to pick it up again quickly. We also worked on some problems involving the use of the midpoint formula and the distance formula to find key points on graphs."

"The student is finishing his chapter on solid figures. We worked specifically on volume and surface area of pyramids, cones, and spheres, and then reviewed all volume and surface area of all solids. He understands how to use the formulas, so I gave him word/ situational problems to think through. He was able to complete these as well. He scored a high B on his quiz covering the first three sections of this chapter. We are working to improve his test scores. We are also working towards a more organized math life. He created a checklist of his tutoring materials and also wrote all of his solids formulas at the beginning of this chapter's section of his notebook. I also showed him how to use the pockets to bring his quiz papers home so we can review what he is missing. "

"I reviewed with the student again for his social studies test on Wednesday, on various Middle Eastern and Asian countries, including Egypt, India, and Indonesia. With more independent studying he will be well-prepared for his test. In addition to a review of his social studies test, he completed his geometry homework. He's currently learning about circles and chords, which are line segments inside of circles. He does very well with this topic, but there was a particular question over which he tripped a bit. It wasn't too difficult for him to course correct once I guided him. "
