"We reviewed geometry concepts for the student's final exam. We covered specific topics that included how to convert from radians to degrees, finding missing angle measures, and using Pythagorean's theorem to calculate the distance of a missing side of right triangle. "

"In this session, the student and I covered math and reading, approximately 1 hour each. For math, we continued practicing the concepts that we have been studying, focusing on applying them to the SAT questions. For reading, we focused on "active reading" and anticipating the questions that will be asked. This type of reading is much more effective because it enables the test taker to answer the questions without having to re-read the passage several times. Overall, we're continuing to make progress, but we're still covering the fundamentals. He has to make progress there before he will be able to significantly improve his score."

"We have covered the unit circle and graphing trig functions. The student didn't understand the unit circle initially. I was able to get him interested by connecting with him using video games. I thought him how to build the unit circle from scratch. I left him to practice making the unit circle. I believe he understood it by the end of the session."

"I had a very good session today with the student. We went over the basics of a number of concepts in trigonometry. First, we looked at the graphs of sines and cosines. Using the form of d + a sin (bx - c), we identified the ways the graph can shift and change depending on the coefficients of the equation. After this, we reviewed the trig identities, practiced verifying them, and reviewed the unit circle in connection to evaluating trig equations -- finding an angle, given its sine and cosine."

"We went over some review problems that the student's teacher gave to the class. The main concept was how to use the fundamental theorem of calculus. The first section could be done without a calculator, and a calculator was needed for the second part. He is very good with the calculator but needed some work in knowing exactly when and how to use it. He was getting the hang of it by the end. "

"We covered superlatives and comparatives and when to use them. We also went over irregular comparatives and superlatives like better/best, less/least, etc. The student had a pretty good grasp of when to use them, though sometimes she would get confused in cases where a whole bunch of things were compared to one standard (e.g. "Many schools are better than that one."). We also worked on her history essay together, improving writing skills. She did fairly well on that, having a pretty good grasp of grammar."

"This session's focus was divided between the student's most recent English assignment and an exercise involving typical essay prompts on the AP English Language exam. The English assignment, which included class discussion of excerpts by Samuel Johnson, was discussed with regard to the passage's rhetorical structure and to the context of its literary reception and interpretation. The exercise consisted of responding to an essay prompt requiring the development and defense of a thesis statement on the basis of three source documents of the student's choice. Possible ways of concisely synthesizing this information in an introductory paragraph were explored, along with techniques for clearly conveying the central themes of a persuasive essay."

"We covered test corrections. The student is going to go to his teacher to bring back all his past tests and work so that we can learn all the past concepts he doesn't know. He is very receptive towards learning."

"We focused on word problems and solving rational equations. The student needed help with setup and where to assign variables. She is getting better at thinking about the variables instead of just guessing and hoping it works, but she still struggles a bit with remembering to do it. We will continue to work on this. Her attitude was better today. Her extra practice is the packets I gave her. "

"Today when I met with the student, we went over his practice test for his exam tomorrow. I went through each question with him and had him answer the questions as I walked him through them. When he would get stuck on a concept I would make sure he understood it before we would move on to the next concept. Today he struggled a bit with the factoring out of nth roots. After I explained the concepts in depth using different examples he would grasp the concept and we would move on. When we finished working on the practice exam together I had him redo it himself. He only made a couple of simple mistakes with arithmetic. That showed me that he understood the concepts. As we wrapped up I told him to redo the practice exam at least one more time. I also told him to make sure to check his work when he finishes the exam tomorrow to make sure that he doesn't make simple mistakes again. Overall it was a really good session, and I have confidence in his performance tomorrow. "

"The student completed her Math and English homework. We reviewed some math skills that may be on the test. We also reviewed her spelling words and took a practice test. She got all of them correct. Overall, great job today. "
