"Today we finished Tuesday's and Wednesday's homework, reviewed three Level D books, read a new Level D book (focusing on the strategy of determining important ideas), and finished the Word Endings worksheet (-s, -ed, -ing) from the last session."

"The student has a chemistry quiz tomorrow and a test coming up. The material focused on writing and balancing equations. She was having a little trouble at first understanding how to predict a single/double replacement equation, but by the end of the session, she seemed to have a pretty good handle on it. We also spent some time on naming compounds and practicing how to balance an equation. We also spent a little time on the solubility rules because, in the homework, it looks like the teacher wanted the student to know how to label the physical state of the compound. "

"Matrices calculations (addition, subtraction, and multiplication) - covered all topics within the textbook. Solving for three and two variables within a system of equations - covered all topics within the textbook. Graphing inequalities - covered all topics within the textbook. Completing the squares in equations - covered all topics within the textbook. Graphing quadratics - covered all topics within the textbook. "

"The student and I read a reading passage, and focused mainly on comprehension and retelling rather than answering multiple choice questions. The student found retelling a little challenging, but we worked on strategies and tips that will assist her in this skill. "

"We had our third session together and went thoroughly through the notes for chapter four. We wrote a study sheet together for chapter four as well. I told her she needs to get her homework done by Friday because she has a test next Monday. We may work this weekend. "

"Today, we continued to discuss projectile motion and the problems that can be assessed using this concept. I had prepared some projectile problems this week that were slightly different than ones that we had worked previously in order to help the student see as many different types of problems as possible. Before we actually started solving each problem, we identified the key words and pieces of information that were critical to solving the problem correctly. I had the student work through the problems by himself while I solved the problems on my page in order to see what parts of the question he is struggling in. He seems much more comfortable solving any projectile motion problem. We then discussed some issues that the student was having on the new material that his class is learning involving Newton's Second Law of Motion(F=ma). The student seems quite confident with the new material up to this point. For next week, we will continue working with solving F=ma problems."

"The student and I prepared for her exam for next week. She wanted to focus on two topics she has been struggling with since the beginning: binomial and Poisson distributions. We figured out which situations warrant the use of each method, what equations to use, how to use the provided tables, and how to understand the language in the word problems. We had a productive session. She easily understands the concepts as I explain them, and she picks up concepts quickly."

"I met the student for his first session at the hotel his father was staying at. He informed me that he recently took his first test in accounting, and that it did not go so well because he has a hard time understanding and keeping up with his teacher. As such, we started today's session by going over the basics. We began by covering the importance of accounting statements: they give investors information about how the company is doing. We then covered the central tenant of balance sheets: assets = liabilities vs. stockholder's equity. With that foundation in place, we reviewed the concept of journal entries, how they had to reflect the central tenant (a = l + se) and how to use these journal entries to record the company's transactions. We finished the session by practicing how to break down company transactions into their individual accounts and write the corresponding journal entries. "

"The student is coming along well. We worked on identifying common question formats and answers for the section on improving paragraphs. We then worked a bit with Critical Reading and his essay. His writing is strong, but he still needs some guidance on formatting and grammar. "

"We finished up with assessment verbal studies this week. The student is getting between a 480 and 510 on his practice tests, but he raised it to a 530 when he could watch the clock, so he needs to make sure he has a watch on him test day. He also needs to practice a lot on Thursday to make sure he has the test totally under control. He does not get near as nervous with the test now, and he does really well on the medium-length passages and easy vocab. We went over strategy (which questions to skip) and preparations like getting a good night's sleep and having a solid breakfast. He should score pretty well for his first try, and I know by the time he takes the second round, he will be ready! "

"We reviewed the homework on parts of speech and started working on literary terms relating to structure (plot, rising action, etc.). I had the students do a story outline and begin writing their story and then worked with them more on the practice test. We started reading a short folk tale and discussed what a folk story is and what makes it different from other stories (narration, point of view)."

"For the first part of the session, the student and I went through the MLB packet of Spanish baseball terms to identify the words he will be focusing on for the next session. Afterwards, we had flowing conversation in Spanish, and he had an easier time remembering words and constructions. For next time, he will learn the baseball terms."
