"We reviewed the test on Chapters 5.6-6.4 covering vertex form, polynomial division, finding all rational/irrational zeroes, and factoring. We worked on a study sheet covering each topic and practiced problems that were wrong on the test."

"We're reviewing for the final. We went back and reviewed the first chapter, which will probably be one of the more difficult chapters to revisit since it consists of so many disparate concepts (properties, multiplying fractions, converting percentages, simplifying expressions, identifying coefficients, etc.) and contains a lot of vocabulary. The next chapter consists mostly of solving for a variable, something he has had no problem with all semester."

"The student and I worked on reading and writing skills today. Specifically, we worked on adjectives versus adverbs, verb-tense agreement, punctuation, and editing sentences for wordiness. We also worked on taking notes from a textbook. He has some good instincts (he made a graphic organizer for his notes) and a solid structure provided by his English teacher, which should help him figure out what to pay attention to as he's reading. We finished with a free-write (on sportsmanship) and then went through and edited his writing. He had good ideas and he stayed on topic. We finished with a brief exercise on punctuation. He seems good at reflecting on what's working and not working, which will help him identify problems that we can continue to address in future sessions (for instance, sentence structure). I look forward to working with him again! "

"The student did very well on all of the parts of Reading and Science sections that she got to. Today we focused on predictive reading in both sections and how, by looking for common elements, we could have a good idea of what information would be important for questions later. We tweaked her timing strategy to maximize the questions she answers and make the most of the time she may have for educated guesses."

"We met for our first session on Thursday. The student had a test on Friday, and she wanted to have her first session before the exam. Her exam was on parallel lines and finding the distance between two points. We did some practice problems from her textbook, and I also brought some extra problems for her as well. She was having a little difficulty with the distance equation, so we did some extra practice with this. She was feeling more confident with the distance equation by the end of the session. "

"This session focused on the manipulation of trig functions in order to verify identities and solve for all angle values from 0 to 2pi. Due to the nature of problems that require manipulation, I always allow the students to email me with problems in between sessions to help them find the right substitution or rearrangement necessary. The student also reported good news in the form of a perfect score on a timed trigonometry value quiz. "

"The student and I specifically worked on a project in his Global Studies class involving the "happiest places to live." Each student was assigned a specific country on the "happiest places" list to research. His country was Portugal. He was to create an infographic identifying three factors of happiness, present the information using three visual elements, and cite three sources. I also worked with him on defining assigned vocabulary words on the human immune system, ensuring that he understood and could verbally explain each term. He was engaged and attentive during the session. He is becoming more comfortable with the necessity of assuming greater responsibility for his homework assignments and in-class coursework."

"We reviewed the Math assessment exam released test that I provided in a previous session. We discussed problem solving strategies and worked on eliminating some of the answer choices when the student was unsure of the correct answer. "

"The student and I reviewed two worksheets on operations with complex numbers. She mastered the topics which included simplifying expressions with complex addition, subtraction and multiplication. We also solved quadratic equations using the quadratic formula with the solutions in the complex systems. Finally, we found complex quotients using conjugates. She should finish up her worksheets as practice. She will excel with her test on Tuesday."

"We worked through the problems the student had gotten wrong on her test last week. She really seems like she understands the concepts well. The problem lies in not having enough time to think about the problems then complete them well enough. We will continue to work on this."

"Today, we covered lines of symmetry in geometry. When asked to reflect a shape across a line, we reflected each point across the line of symmetry and then connected the points. We reviewed that a point and its reflection are equidistant from the line of symmetry. We also covered chemistry, using dimensional analysis. The student also had a project using moles that we went over. He had to determine how many objects would be needed to cover a large distance, volume, and mass. We made sure that in each parameter, the object and what it was trying to cover had the same unit. He was eager to learn the material and understood everything well."

"The student and I continued our work on exponents. At the beginning of the session, I reviewed the homework I had assigned her. She was able to explain the correct answers to me. After going through the 3 rules that I had originally taught her, she quickly remembered how to tackle exponents. We went through over 15 problems that helped her apply the exponent rules that I had taught her. After this, I taught her 3 more exponent rules that used the distributive power as well as raising an exponent to another exponent. I left her with practice problems for these new rules. She had an easy time learning the rules. I believe that more that she reviews, the better she will become at exponents. "
