"Today the student and I continued the beginning of our sessions with reviewing and checking his home work. After checking his homework, we worked through more problems together to make sure he fully understands solving these types of equations."

"I coached and quizzed the student through a test review worksheet for tomorrow's Math test. I left her with one more problem to finish and a few vocab questions to clarify. I briefed her parents before leaving. Our next session will be next Monday."

"I met with the student tonight to help her with preparations for Monday's test. We mostly focused on her homework problems that required usage of De Moivre's formula to find the result of a complex number (a + bi) being raised to an exponent. Then she did problems that used the same formula to determine the roots of unity for a complex number. We also did one problem involving a geometric interpretation of roots of unity. Along the way, I tried to provide little tips to make the required conversions more simple. To make it a proper review session, we finished with a few problems from our last session. There wasn't really anything that mystified her, and the hardest time she had was how those conversions didn't immediately unravel themselves for her."

"We reviewed section 4.1 and 4.4 which the student will be tested on. He is doing well using the calculator to graph his functions."

"We reviewed for the student's test tomorrow on magnetism, magnetic induction, and alternative energy. Besides the right hand rule, much of what we did was qualitative descriptions of the concepts. Other parts of the review involved some calculations, but she already felt comfortable with that. The student is good about asking questions when she doesn't feel comfortable with something."

"We had a great initial session! She shared the syllabi associated with her two classes related to strategy and leadership, and developed a "game plan" in order to address the requirements, any of her concerns, and work towards a successful outcome. We reviewed the initial assignments that were due, first focusing on the leadership paper. I provided her with guidelines related to how to break down the components of the paper in order to make it more manageable. We also discussed the topic related to leadership strengths and weaknesses, and several potential ideas that she could include in the paper. We had the opportunity to discuss the cases that would be covered in the strategy class, and which companies may be good to focus on in order to meet the requirements associated with "discussion question" assignments. Her continued work in between sessions is to create draft items and I will be willing to review anything she completes."

"Very good class. We continued working on the different type of sentences. Specifically, we worked to get the student ready for the major state exam which he will be taking this Saturday. We reviewed the purpose of the semicolon, comma and period. We talked about the difference between a sentence and an independent clause. We also looked at the difference between the dependent vs independent clause. We talked about simple sentences, complex sentences, compound sentences, and complex-compound sentences. We will have another class on Friday. We will look at appositives and other ways to write good and effective sentences. We will look at using nouns, adjectives and adverbs to write vibrant and interesting sentences."

"Today we covered similar triangles, the altitude of a right triangle, and the theorems including altitude being a geometric mean of the segments of the hypotenuse. We solved problems involving measuring height of hard-to-reach objects via the square cutout. We went over Pythagorean triplets and solved problems involving right triangles. We also tested the student's algebra 2 skills and refreshed previously acquired geometry skills on similar triangles. He is quick to grasp new concepts and is doing well in his geometry class."

"The student and I had our last session before her AP exam. I am confident the student will do well: she is a bright student and is very clever. She understands the concepts behind the material she is studying, and she's even able to follow along when I discuss some higher-level concepts that are beyond the course. If she's able to repeat what we've done in tutoring sessions on the test, I'm sure she will do incredibly. "

"The student had an assignment on the right hand rule for magnetism. This can be a very confusing topic and she expressed that her teacher likes to ask conceptual questions on tests, so we made sure to focus time not only on practice problems but also on understanding those concepts. After checking her homework and having a discussion about any questions she had, we started the practice problems for this unit. We were able to complete all of the problems for which they had so far covered the material in class. She did well on these questions. We plan to meet again either Tuesday or Wednesday evening. "

"During this session we participated in role playing from pages 9-11 of the Harry Potter book the student is currently reading. He was Dumbledore and I was Professor McGonagall. We went over lines multiple times to practice fluency. Attention was placed on tone and speed. Three word lists were given to him. Each list was different because first one contained words below grade level, the second on level, and lastly above grade level. Scoring respectively was 18/20, 18/20, and 16/20. He was assigned pages 11-21 in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and will be asked comprehension questions in our next session. "

"We covered logs and natural logs, which was his main area of concern. He also showed me an older exam in which he did not do too well. I've taken images of this test and I plan on solving them and helping him with it during Wednesday's session. He had a great attitude towards the subject. Once he got the hang of solving a problem, he was able to solve that particular type of problem easily. I did include some tips to remember while solving those types of problems - sort of broke the process down into manageable steps. "
