"Today the student needed help mostly with math, because they watched The Outsiders today in English, to coincide with the novel. Although He said that he didn't really hear the teacher, after discussing two practice problems in-depth, he was solving the equations quickly and accurately. After studying language arts the rest of the session, we went back to review the math work, and he was amazingly quick to solve review work. We also covered ways to check answers on linear equations by "plugging-in numbers." We covered reading comprehension, followed by sentence structure. Identifying the different parts of the sentence (verb, subject, object, etc.) will need more work. Vocabulary words come easily, and he is able to use context fairly well to discern meanings of previously unseen words. I recommend on days we don't meet, to read 15-20 min a day from either class work, or self-selected works. "

"We went over quantum numbers, single/ double replacement reactions, colligative properties, and oxidation numbers/ reactions to prep for the SAT Subject Test in Chemistry."

"Math --- Reviewed for tomorrow's test - Jeopardy, multi-step equations, word problems, and translation. The student seems to have a good understanding of the material and should do very well on the test. Science --- Chapter review, homework for tomorrow."

"Very good final session with the student! I believe she will score very high on the test. We were able to spend some time on each of the 4 sections. On Math, I mostly encouraged the use of diagrams, tables, charts, and calculators -- the use of all tools at one's disposal in order to make the experience the easiest it can be. English and Reading didn't require much work, as she scored perfectly on each of the passages that we did during the session. We practiced some Science, during which I strongly encouraged the "hands on" approach, where the left hand is used to mark one's place on the passage, and the right hand is used to mark one's place on the question. We ended in a good place. Best of luck!"

"The student began the session with questions about nonlinear regression and corrections that can be made for confounds of regression analysis such as quadratic trends, heteroscedasticity, and collinearity. We reviewed what each of these terms meant, how to transform the data to fit a linear model, how to model the equation so it fits a nonlinear model, and how to detect and correct for collinearity."

"The student and I began preparing for his upcoming final exam in college math. He has a review packet that his professor gave the class that gives examples of the types of questions that will be on the test. We focused on the types of questions for which he will not be allowed to use a calculator. These included addition and subtraction of 4-digit numbers, multiplication of large numbers containing decimals, long division, adding fractions, converting mixed numbers to fractions and prime factorization. We went over the steps to solve each type of problem. When there was a type of problem that was particularly challenging for him, I provided him with more practice questions of the same type. We practiced some together and then he worked on some independently. Working without a calculator is difficult but he puts in great effort and is determined to do well."

"Tonight we proved "Larry's Lemma" from a worksheet, and used it to solve another similar problem, then began to work on the proof of Ceva's theorem. I received some of the worksheets by email, so that helped a lot! "

"The student and I worked on graphing 3 different types of polynomial functions. After pinpointing how to find the vertex of each type of function, we spent the rest of the time practicing each one. By the end, he seemed to have grasped what to do in each situation and needed minimal assistance. He has a test coming up that includes this info, so he will continue to work on these techniques."

"The student had a test to go over from geometry on similarity. She missed the a few questions because she mislabeled a pair of similar triangles, so I went over with her how to make sure to label them correctly. I also found her upcoming homework online and showed her how to do it. So, now she's ahead!"

"We worked on a variety of reading comprehension questions (main idea, detail, inference, vocab in context) and on strategies to find the best answer, especially how to eliminate wrong answers, and finding support in the text for the best answer. "

"The student and I went over the concepts that she was really having trouble with to begin the session. We wanted to make sure we covered these first to clear up anything that was really troubling her. We then moved on to a practice test. We completed the first page, and will continue the rest between tomorrow and the next day. Specifically, we went over direct and inverse variations, parabolic functions (finding the vertex), solving inequalities using quadratic formula, finding equation of line given parallel to another line and a point, finding center and radius of a circle by converting from general to standard form. She was so receptive and willing to work. She had a very positive attitude and was super attentive. I'm looking forward to our future sessions and hope I can help her as much as possible for her upcoming exam!"
