"Today was my first session with a life-long learner who has decided to go back to school to study Nutrition. She needs to fulfill her Foreign Language requirement and would like to preserve her above-average grade. We spent 2 hours reviewing her various study guides, notes, and homework assignment. She had many good questions which I believe I answered for her and she seemed much less anxious about the overall work-load of her course at the end of our session. "

"We reviewed exponent properties and scientific notation. The student understood the material very well. I supplied supplemental worksheets for practice."

"Today the student and I went over section 11-7 in his textbook which covered circles in a coordinate plane. Although he has not started going over this in class yet we decided to get a head start on it. He was easily able to find the center and radius from a equation written in the standard form of a circle and once we went over a few examples he was also able to change an equation of a circle into the standard form. At first, he often forgot to add the perfect square on both sides of the equation but after making this mistake a few times he began to remember to do this step. He had some difficulty when the problem gave a standard equation and then asked for the new standard equation after the circle was translated because he forgot that the dimensions of the center of a circle should be used when translating (the opposite sign of what is displayed in the standard equation). Towards the end of the session he was able to answer these questions correctly. He completed two worksheets on his own which I graded-all questions were answered correctly! I left him a worksheet to work on until our next session on Wednesday."

"We covered all varieties of pronouns--interrogative, reflexive, etc. We completed exercises on the different pronouns. We discussed how to differentiate between interrogative and adjective Latin pronouns."

"The student was excited to begin with our word game and chose great combinations for today's lesson. We did this session orally and she and I worked together to create a fun story which was quite lovely. This oral preparation was something she really enjoyed. We both felt successful working together in this mode. She is happy about working with me and works hard."

"We focused our session on stoichiometry. The student is keeping up with class on this target, but this topic requires continued attention. We will likely practice some amount of stoichiometry every week to ensure the skill is mastered."

"The student and I focused most of our time on the reading test. She read through the essays in one of the practice tests in her prep book and then tried to answer the questions. We discussed her reasoning behind questions one at a time. In the second essay, I taught her how to identify and mark the thesis, main points, and objections addressed. She got the hang of it pretty quickly and said that it really helped her answer the questions. Many of the questions referred to the aspects of the essay that she had highlighted already. As homework, I asked her to go through one essay and accompanying questions per day, since she said she had 30 minutes a day to study. We also went through one essay on the writing and language test, during which I clarified a number of tricky grammar rules that she was being tested on. "

"The student felt confident about his performance on his most recent test covering all of the concepts of precalculus from the first part of the course. He improved hugely in his understanding of this material over the past few sessions and I hope to see the results of his hard work. Yesterday we spent the session going over the fundamental ideas of calculus and also the basic approaches to solving problems with derivatives. While this material has just been introduced in his class, we worked ahead in the book on solving different types of derivative problems and as a result, I think he will be more than comfortable solving these problems moving forward. We definitely spent a lot of the session going more into detail as to the abstract ideas behind this material as well as the methods of expressing mathematics, and I hope everything we discussed illuminated the importance of these ideas, as they will be the core of everything covered for the rest of the semester. "

"This past session was a review of an algebra II semester. We covered how to identify vertical and horizontal asymptotes of functions, and how to identify what values these functions approach. We covered synthetic and long division of polynomials. He did very well with the material and only needed help with the asymptotes. He had a very positive attitude. We covered methods of identifying where a function has an asymptote. I think he is well prepared to take his final."

"We went over trigonometric functions and equations. The student has a test Thursday, so he had a good handle on everything before I came. He needed more clarification on the problems. I suggested he memorize the unit circle to help him better prepare for the test. It will also make checking his answers a lot easier. "

"The student was working on problems with electromagnetic induction (notoriously difficult subjects to tackle online), but we made some progress looking at his problems. He seems to have a very good handle on the material. "
