"- The student and I worked on arithmetic and geometric sequences. - Specifically, we worked on explicit and recursive rules for arithmetic and geometric sequences and sum formulas for both, as well. - He felt pretty good about the material."

"In this session, we worked on solving quadratic equations using various methods. We reviewed the student's homework problems and tied those concepts together with the previous chapter on graphing quadratics."

"Student 1 and I worked on adding and subtracting mixed numbers. I also introduced Student 2 and Student 1 to a couple of computer based programs to help reinforce the things we are doing with math."

"Today was my first meeting with the student. We discussed where she felt she was having difficulty and where she felt she had a pretty good grasp of things. We also looked through some of her graded exams and discussed the answers she got wrong as well as how to correctly solve those problems. The student has been having the most difficulty in determining how to set up permutations and combinations, as opposed to solving the problems with the more general methods of probability used previously. Her grasp of algebra is fantastic. Where she keeps running into issues is in the tiny details of solving a problem (e.g. negative signs, cancelling fully, common denominators, etc.). We also had a chance to look through some of her chemistry work as well today. We discussed some helpful methods of drawing Lewis dot structures for compounds we had never seen before, as well as how to determine their enthalpy of formation according to their bonds. We finished the day with a few practice problems of determining a reaction's enthalpy from rearranging the known enthalpies of other reactions. We will be covering these problems in our sessions. "

"The student and I reviewed completing the square, solving proportions, solving radical equations, and using the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations. The student does well with each subject, but does still need practice completing the square and using the quadratic formula. He has his final exam review sheet, that provides extra practice problems. Another idea is for him to retry some of the problems on his review sheet (cover his previous work), in order to ensure he understands each concept for his final exam. "

"The student had called me on Friday after last Thursday's session with questions about the linear equation/graphing work we had covered in the session. We began with that today and thoroughly discussed and practiced working back and forth on tables, graphs, slope calculations, and the slope-y intercept form of equations. By end of session, she said she understood much better. She has links to practice, and we will review again in our next session tomorrow."

"The student and I worked on biology and math. Biology consisted of constructing dichotomous charts for candies and a variety of sea and land animals. This was straightforward as all that was required was for him to come up with questions that help distinguish between animals. Math he thought was also easy, as it involved the use of matrix notation for which he knew very well how to use the 2 by 2 matrix. Overall, the semester has been easy, but I expect it to get very hard soon."

"The student and I spent tonight's session discussing her research paper assignment for AP English. I explained to her the structure of an argumentative research essay, the requirements for a good annotated bibliography, and a bit of background about literary censorship, which is the topic of her paper. Working together, we came up with a slightly different research question for the paper, one that will lead to a more argumentative thesis. We outlined how the paper might go. We also looked for reputable sources (peer-reviewed articles in academic journals) and went over some strategies for finding good sources. She and I may continue to work on this paper together in our subsequent sessions, depending on how much she's able to get done on her own."

"Since the student has a Biology test on Wednesday, we quickly ran through some genetics concepts to make sure he didn't lose them from the previous week. I asked him a few questions covering the breadth of topics on his exam, and he had great answers for all of them, so we were both pretty confident he would do well. Next, we went over the review sheet for his upcoming Algebra exam. We covered the whole worksheet. By the end of the session, he seemed comfortable working with word problems involving systems of equations, but it is definitely high on the priority list for review before his exam on Thursday. The same goes for graphing inequalities, and we'll go over some sample problems before then. With just a few minutes left in the session, I quizzed him on some genetics vocabulary from the chapter he was going to be tested on, and he aced that."

"The student has a final coming this Wednesday. We went through review slides that her teacher gave her. We did example of each problem. She understood most of the problems and was able to remember them. I believe she would do well on the exam. She was very eager to learn and full of energy. The session was a success. I recommended her to keep doing practice problems whenever she gets time."

"Today we went through practice problems from mechanics. Most all of the concepts were strong, but the ideas of a free-body diagram, and Newton's second law being with net force instead of the most convenient force, were ones that we worked on."

"We reviewed the practice state exam I administered. Also, in doing so, I thoroughly worked on strengthening her weak areas. Then, for HW, I reassigned the practice exam, in hopes she'll gain a stronger grasp of the material. "
