"We continued preparing for the student's cumulative midterm on Thursday. He hasn't been doing well on the past couple tests, so I focused on the topics at hand, gave him some guidance in how to tackle them, and also provided him with a checklist to go over before his exam in order to get him in the right mindset. He'll do great, and I'm looking forward to hearing back about how he did."

"The student and I continued work in the final chapter of his Algebra text. His parent reported that his getting quite nervous about getting this course finished, and he is experiencing significant stress as a result. I did my best to reassure him that we will get through this course, and then we moved on to practicing more problems dealing with solving rational equations. By this point he has a pretty good idea as to what will be coming up on his quiz, and so we brainstormed through these anticipated problem types. We developed strategies for when to clear the denominator, when to factor, and when to add the rational functions in the process of solving. These steps should help him prepare for his quiz. We also worked through a significant amount of problems, and so he should be able to look over these notes in preparation for his quiz. No concerns."

"I gave the student some clues to letter sounds and pronunciation, and then we practiced some familiar vocabulary, that included those letter sounds. Afterwards, we practiced vocabulary from last week's subjects, concerning playing with her grandchildren. Topics included, playing with toys, and where......having dinner, what to cook and what to eat, and going shopping. For homework, I elaborated the idea of 'At the Kitchen Sink', and added the concept of being dirty after playing, and what might happen, with related vocabulary, including what may take place after that, like resting, reading a book, watching a video, et cetera. I also gave her some words from some children's songs, and where to find some YouTube videos on children's songs in Spanish. After the review of letter sounds, I noticed an improvement in her pronunciation."

"Student 1 worked on learning new methods for mastering subtraction. She was engaged and showed a lot of growth. We will continue to practice subtraction and start to move forward with division and multiplication word problems. Student 2 did a great job editing her essay! She was able to read through her own work and decide what information was necessary and add details and synonyms to make her writing more interesting. We will work on a new essay next week."

"Student A continued working with fractions today. He worked on simplifying fractions, mixed numbers and improper fractions. Student B worked on adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying fractions using greatest common factor and least common denominator. He did very well during today's session; he has a math quiz tomorrow. I've seen a lot of improvement with him; he got every question right on his assignment he turned in yesterday. Also, he completed a science worksheet today on hypotheses. I'm excited to see the progress of both students."

"The concept covered specifically: review of multiplication tables: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , and 10; two digit/one bottom and two top and bottom; and multiplication carrying. The student's attitude toward the material reviewed was very positive. He asked for a high five a few times. He gave himself praise for his accomplishments in this session. The strategies used in this session were illustration, repeated addition, arrays, chip model, 2-digit multiplication strategies, and carrying. He has been given math drills for extra practice. The student did very well pushing through to the next natural progression in multiplication."

"The student is a bright and motivated student. He struggles with many aspects of writing, particularly analysis and figuring out how to structure arguments.We covered the basics of writing composition using an essay he wrote for a scholarship. I taught him various strategies to develop a strong draft, including talking and recording his thoughts, free-writing, and evaluating his notes before he outlines a draft. I also went over concepts such as active voice, concrete language, and persuasive writing. "

"Today the student and I started with the basics: alphabet, how each letter - or combination of those - is pronounced in which case (c/g before a/o/u and e/i); the structure of 1st,2nd, 3rd person - subject pronouns. He learned the conjugations of the verbs Ser (to be) and Tener (to have), as well as the verbal endings for regular verb conjugations for the -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in present indicative tense. I left the student with some homework: use resources to check the conjugations of the sample verbs and write a sample story about himself."

"Today the student and I worked on ACT reading and math. First, I had her do a practice reading test and we focused on time management this time, so I only gave her 35 minutes. She didn't quite finish, so I gave her some extra time. As she got around the same score as last time, I told her that she should continue practice on her own to be able to finish all the questions in the allotted time. Next, we went over the answers she got incorrect. It seemed like she was mostly struggling with "main idea" questions. Lastly, she did 15 math questions, and we will start by going over that in our next session. Her homework is to finish the math section we started today."

"Today, the student and I worked on logic games and logical reasoning. We talked about diagramming necessary and sufficient conditions. For extra practice, she will do more games and logical reasoning sections to upload for Friday's session. She got a higher proportion of questions correct than in any other previous sessions. "

"We covered some more advanced stuff this session. We went over simple and multiple linear regression. We covered coefficient significance, theory and purpose of Beta weights, correlation, and residuals. We also covered logistic regression. For logistic regression, I explained how the logit is an odds ratio and how using the logit as the power produces the S shape curve of a logistic model. I graphically showed examples of logistic regression to explain the interpretation of the output of the model (the percent of 1,0) and how to then categorize points into a 1 or 0 based on the percentage. I also explained the kinds of errors that can occur by shifting the percentage cutoff point for categorizing the sample points. Her last test is on Tuesday and she says it is not cumulative so we will be going over these same topics again before the test. She has gotten all A's on the tests so far so I'm sure she will do great."

"We went over a practice English test the student did, and then we focused on subject-verb agreement problems. She had missed many of these types of problems, so now that we reviewed them, she should see a significant score improvement. We also did many math problems. She said she felt less intimidated by the math section after working through problems she would have initially thought of as more difficult. "
