"The student and I reviewed for a quiz she is having covering 7.1-7.3 in her textbook. We continued the process we started last week of simplifying and rationalizing expressions with radicals. She is doing well with these; her biggest challenge today was to slow down and not do as many steps in her head. She knows how to do the problems but makes simple mistakes. When Kristin did fewer steps in her head she made fewer mistakes. We will continue to work on this. We also discussed conjugates and how they are formed. We went over her homework and also did a word problem that wasn't part of her homework but could be similar to potential test questions. She was a little unsure of area formulas, so we went over those. In general, she is doing well and making progress. "

"We covered the Pythagorean theorem and triplets, then moved on to polynomials and operations between them. I noted that the student was having difficulty with negative numbers and covered these in-depth. I worked through the student's worksheets covering polynomials in standard form, addition, subtraction and multiplication of polynomials that include FOIL and distribution."

"The student and I reviewed for his Wednesday test using his 'test prep' homework. *We went over the four (4) steps of division. * We also reviewed the quotient of a number divided by a number I also gave him a total of 13 various problems to help him prepare for his test. "

"For this session, the student needed to make corrections to her physics test and review the concepts which did not make sense to her. She walked through the definitions and calculations for velocity, acceleration, and interpreting graphs. Then we spent the last part of the session reviewing her new math chapter about linear functions, the components of the formula, and how to evaluate slope."

"The student started to work on the timed-practice tests, and she got an 85% on her verbal and 76% on the math section. Today's focus was on synonyms with root words, suffixes, and prefixes. Understanding what the common parts of the words are to define unfamiliar words can improve her scores. On the reading, she is doing much better with using process of elimination to take out the questions that she is not sure of and choosing from the 2 remaining choices. In math, we worked on scientific notation and simplifying exponents/complex fractions. This skill review was helping for her, and she successfully applied this. A lesson on Venn diagrams made these concepts easier for her to apply the rules as well. Our last session will be on Friday."

"Today the student and I worked on his review sheet for algebra 2. He informed me that he had a two-day test coming up on Thursday and Friday of this week. We reviewed everything we had covered so far for quadratic equations, factoring, and graphing. I found him still making little mistakes in his calculations that causes him to have the wrong answer. I had him re-do each problem so that he could find his own mistakes (I find this is the best way they learn). Since we were limited on time, I skipped around the review packet so that he could show me he was able to do each of the problems on his own. He still had a lot of problems to complete until his test, so I closed our session by letting him know that he needs to slow down on each problem to avoid mistakes and to recheck all of his work, especially during his test."

"The student and I worked today on an application for his participation in Student Leadership, which he hopes to be a part of next semester. We worked together to help him answer five questions, all pertaining to his abilities as they relate, both directly and indirectly, to his leadership abilities. The only issues he really had while writing which he could continue to work on were his comma usage, using more word variety and working to reduce repetitiveness. I already see him trying to think more "outside the box" in his writing, though, so this is a definite win, especially after only a few sessions. We will continue to work on improving his writing flow, ACT practice essays, and whatever else he feels he needs to develop strength in when we resume our sessions in January."

"During this session we went over partial fraction integration. The student didn't have many issues at all. There was only one minor mistake he made twice, so I told him to keep an eye out for it. We then wet over physics. He is preparing for a competition, so we looked at a couple of practice questions. Overall this session went well."

"The student and I went over some content that I think is coming up in her class. We examined logarithms today. I do think it will be a while before she sees them in class, but I felt that a preview couldn't hurt. She did well with the sample questions that I gave her. "

"The student is always so happy to go over her math homework with me. We worked on her review sheet for her upcoming benchmark exam. The sheet was only 6 questions with three parts each, so we finished in about an hour. It mainly focused on simplifying and applying radicals. She is very strong in these subjects due to her skills with triangles. She did not have any difficulties with the sheet. She completed one of the problems on the short and long methods, and I gave her a few extra problems."

"We covered sampling distributions, particularly the binomial (but including normal and geometric). The student had some trouble remembering the central limit theorem, but she was able to get the right answer after recalling it. We used strategies such as process of elimination and understanding calculation shortcuts (for speeding up timed test taking). I noted with going over the chapter review of 8, the student got 100% (this chapter was binomials). "

"Today we finished Newton's law of Gravitation and moved on to the next topic of Weight. We solved problem # 26 in section 6.4 and then we came back to section 6.3 to revise Newton's Law of Gravitation again. We solved problem # 16, 18, 20, 23, and 26 from this section."
