"Today we continued to look over past tests. We reviewed the ones he missed and discussed reasons for the errors. He likes to work out the problems in his head without fully showing his work. I am continuing to stress the importance of showing your work to avoid mistakes. He is very intelligent and has a firm grasp of many of the principles he is studying. "

"She worked problems where she was given three equations and then had to graph it and then name the shape. Then she also had to find the vertices and then find the area. Some of the problems were quite advanced, but she did a great job."

"We focused mostly on geometry today, though we did go through converting within the SI unit prefixes. We reviewed much of the algebra that the student's class is touching on such as graphing in the xy-plane, solving an equation, and the properties of addition and multiplication. He did well remembering graphing and solving equations and only needed a few reminders on how to solve inequalities. He couldn't remember the names of the properties for addition and multiplication even though he could describe or use the different properties, so we went through each of the properties. Lastly, we talked a little about area and perimeter/ circumference as well as the number pi and multiplying with units. Since he has a geometry quiz coming up after our next session, we will be focusing on that rather than physics next time."

"In this session, we reviewed the integration by substitution, integration by parts, and separable differential equations. The student improved his understanding on these topics and could do some separable differential equations. I hope he now knows that he can skip the integration by substitution method when du = a constant--that will make his work more efficient. I believe he will do well."

"Assisted Student 1 with enhancing his homework presentation. We discussed showing his work, techniques for checking answers, and a method of using a cleaner format. Assisted Student 2 with a review sheet for an upcoming test. Highlighted working with unspecified variables. "

"We spent the first half of the session preparing for the student's upcoming test, which is on trapezoids and kites. He seemed like he understood the material well, so we spent the rest of the time looking ahead at the next chapter, which talks about similarity and proportions. He's doing very well!"

"We continued to work on sports-related vocabulary and idioms, pronunciation of the th sound and common synonyms. For our remaining sessions, we will also focus on preparing the student for interviews and press conferences."

"The student and I focused on ACT prep questions and covered a variety of topics in algebra and geometry. I gave him some test-taking tips for recognizing the best answer without having to take up too much time fully solving problems, and taught some concepts ahead of what he has learned. He did well and caught on to new ideas quickly."

"My student had a homework assignment on balancing a checkbook. The class had worked the first problem and we worked the next few problems together. She was able to complete the final few problems on her own with very minimal assistance. I also reviewed adding and subtracting positive and negative integers with her. She was able to solve those problems on her own. I also reviewed multiplying and dividing positive and negative integers. Finally, I reviewed a few multiplication facts with my student. "

"We had a good session. I checked in with the student to see how his reading was going at school, and he was really pleased that he was now on grade level. He did mention that he was not finding his school reading any easier because he had to do it without talking, so I told him that it might be worth asking his teacher if he could work outside of the room or something so that he could read his assignments out loud without bothering anybody. "

"We had a productive session. In probability, we covered sample space, permutations vs. combinations, counting principle, intersect and union, and complement. Then we went over the central and inscribed angle theorems for circles. The student had a great attitude and displayed maturity, as usual. She remained a little bit confused about central vs. inscribed angle measures and said she had a hard time "seeing" things. I encouraged her to outline different angles and arcs with pencil to help her focus on certain parts of the diagram. I also left her with review videos, lessons, and problems. It is a pleasure working with the student. "
