"Tonight the student and I reviewed for her upcoming test in exponential/ logarithmic functions. We covered a lot of material, including how to switch between exponential/ logarithmic form, the rules for logarithm expansion/ contraction, how to solve a variety of different equations in those forms, compound interest and other exponential growth formulas, and how to work with the graphs of these functions in general. She was studious and followed along rather well with the lesson, and by the end of the night she was quickly and easily calling out the formulas she needed. I think we made some important improvements to her methods and content knowledge. "

"The homework we worked on covered lateral and total surface area and also reviewed volumes (from an earlier section). Student A struggled more with the concept than student B, so I spent a little extra time with him going over the difference between lateral and total surface area. As usual, both of the boys did great work with the multiple choice questions and used very good reasoning skills to eliminate unreasonable and impossible answer choices. We are definitely continuing to emphasize working slowly, reading the whole question and double-checking our work. Great job to both boys! I believe that they felt confident in the concepts by the end of the night. "

"The student and I worked on logarithm problems. We mainly covered how to use exponentiation and logarithms to undo each other and solve problems algebraically."

"The student worked on studying for his Spanish test that is tomorrow. He completed a homework assignment filling in the correct verb form in a paragraph. We also worked on accounting the sequence of the storyline of the Little Mermaid in Spanish. "

"In the session today we focused mainly on test prep and went over the quadratic formula, factoring polynomials, and complex imaginary equations. The main topic that the student was struggling with was the quadratic formula, and that was just with remembering the actual formula. His confidence in his math ability has grown over the last week and he is more comfortable with a wider range of problems. He was able to factor polynomials on his own, where a few weeks ago this would have been a challenge."

"The session was started with reviewing the writing assignment the student was to complete from the last session. We reviewed his writing. We then worked on a practice test together. The test was a bit harder than the previous practice tests he has done, so I turned the timer off, and we worked out the main problems step by step together."

"During our last session, we reviewed the reading comp passages and analogies section the student did for homework. I think it was helpful and necessary for us to spend a while on the analogies process, because he seemed to have forgotten during the break (which is understandable). After each section we would review the strategies we've been talking about and added them to his "Review Sheet." We went over basic operations with fractions, finding the area of a triangle and other unusual shapes, and mean/ median/ mode. We briefly covered what they were looking for on the essay section, as well as general test-taking strategies (including bubbling strategies). It was a good session and I hope doing it right before the test will help these techniques stick in his mind. I really enjoyed working with this student; he's a great kid and a very engaged student."

"We covered equations, graphs, and tables. The student understood the concepts. He knows how to write an equation from a word problem. He knows what the variables mean in the table. He was able to complete a table using the equation. He was also able to graph the equation. The multiple representations of a situation were comprehended well. He had a good attitude during the session."

"Today, the student and I worked on geometric mean, altitude of a triangle, and basic trigonometric functions. I feel that she made progress in understanding the three sides of a right triangle."

"We covered solving and factoring quadratic equations with the "criss cross" method and standard method. The student struggled for the first few minutes recalling some of the base principles, such as the order in which to set up the criss cross method or square roots. However, she quickly recalled some of these lessons with some guidance. I broke down each problem step by step with her, and I guided her through each step. In time, she was doing most, if not all, of the work. One strategy I included was looking at problems in different ways or going about them with different steps. She seems to be grasping math concepts much quicker than she did when I first started tutoring her, and she seems much more capable. "

"The student worked on another factoring assignment in preparation for an upcoming exam. I gave her additional worksheets for added practice. She did extremely well. "
