"We reviewed odd and even functions, graphing trig functions, transforming trig functions (amplitude, horizontal stretch, periods, horizontal and vertical shifts) and physics applications. Before next time I assigned the student to read the next section about transforming tan, cot, csc, and sec functions."

"The student and I spent about half the time on magnetism and the other half of the time on algebra two in order to get her ready to take her exam. At the beginning of the lesson, I asked her a lot of questions about magnetism to check her understanding and get her ready for the upcoming test. We went over what the left hand rule helps us figure out (direction of current and electromagnetic field lines). We also discussed that moving magnetic fields induce current in wires. After she felt like she had a better grasp on the physics portion we moved on to questions she had on her review for her exam. We went over some logarithmic problems as well as a few graphing problems to find domain and range. We finished with functions like f(g(x)) and what that actually means. A great lesson that really prepared her for her upcoming tests :)"

"We reviewed ellipses and hyperbolas in preparation for his make-up test. We then worked through some problems from his current assignment covering basic trigonometry. We reviewed the Unit Circle and discussed the periodic nature of the trig functions."

"The student had a review packet before the test that he will take on Friday. He felt pretty comfortable with graphing quadratics and stating the characteristics of the graphs. He wanted more practice on rewriting equations in different forms (factored to standard, vertex to standard, and standard to vertex). I gave him extra problems during our session, and I will send him more problems tomorrow."

"The student had a number of worksheets that she had a few questions on. She also had a review for the final exam that she had already almost completed but needed some help on a few of the questions. "

"The student and I went over study material for his upcoming math test. We went over word problems with fractions that he didn't quite understand and worked through them so that he would have a better understanding. We then went over his science homework, and I had him explain why a can gets crushed when removed from heat and dunked in cold water. He had to illustrate this. He seemed to have a better idea after he explained it to me more. For his math test, I suggested he continue doing word problems in his book so that he can check his answers. Overall, he made a good effort. "

"I urged the student to catch up on learning the Chinese characters for this session. I hope he does so for next session. We reviewed some of the concepts we had covered previously. Specifically, I went over how to write the date and time and how to talk about it. We also did some reading and writing to practice this and we worked on some other grammatical constructions, such as using 'or.' Overall, his grammar and vocabulary are decent, but I want him to work more on learning characters."

"We finished the student's book work. They started on a new book and reviewing concepts of functions. This included input and output and how to shift them to get different values. We also discussed the differences between lines and parabolas. We spent some time and worked extra problems on domain and range - a concept that can be challenging if you don't remember how to read it from the graphs. Finally, we practiced multiplying polynomials."

"The student had a review that we were able to work through during this session. Rather than starting at the beginning and working through one problem after the other, I skipped around the packet. I did this because I wanted to make sure that we reviewed all the topics, and also so I could see where she might be having some problems. We worked through it and worked out all her little issues. None of them were major or concerning. She just forgot a few simple rules, but once I reminded her, she latched onto it very quickly. "

"The focus for this session was reading comprehension. With the nonfiction texts, we continued working on asking and answering questions as we read and worked on stating the main idea and providing supporting details based on the different sections in the text. The student did very well with both of these concepts. I noticed that she either inserted words or missed some of the sight words in the text. To help her with this we will continue to work on fluency, including making sure she notices if her spoken word matches what's printed on the page, and self-correcting herself if it doesn't. I left some books for her to continue practicing with until our next session. "

"The student and I went over factoring in math, which was a new concept for her. We identified prime numbers 1-31 and used them as a premise of determining the factorization of larger numbers. We began our focus on this because it is likely to appear on the assessment exam. In addition, we practiced rewriting a short passage so that it included more descriptions and added on more sensory details. She was doing very well with this, and she was very proactive with all of our work today. "
