"We reviewed online homework and the student solved problems involving solids of revolution, work, and cross sections. The student is a hard worker and is determined to do well in calc 2 this semester. He has good number sense and a strong work ethic. "

"We took notes on the student's current social studies unit. I helped with reading while she wrote down important places, people, and vocab terms. We also reviewed the math packet she had been working in to ensure she understood all of what she had been doing."

"This session the student and I reviewed his homework that included factoring polynomials and factoring perfect squares. After doing a few examples, he quickly understood the method to solve the problems and proceeded to complete the assignment with little difficulty. At the end of our previous session I assigned him a few practice word problems. We went through them together and I highlighted the importance of drawing a picture to get a better understanding of the problems. He learns quickly when shown a logical approach to solving problems, but struggles with word problems. Long word problems are intimidating to him and sometimes it isn't clear what exactly the question is asking. In future session we will work on more word problems so he can improve in this area."

"This was our first session, so a lot of it was getting a feel for both of the students by working through problems. We covered differentiation of logarithmic functions and discussed the different methods of completing the process (e.g. my route is different from their teacher's). The two had different points of weakness, but they understood the material well when it was explained. Recalling what they learned later in the lesson was a challenge at times though. The focus will be hammering home the different concepts, so they can more readily apply them. We also discussed uses of differentiation, so they could understand why it's used. So far, it had been something they did without really knowing its purpose. We will meet again tomorrow, so I will have a stronger idea of how to approach these sessions in the near future."

"We looked at an assigned related rates problem and then began some review of some of the earlier concepts from this semester. We expanded on the student's knowledge of the natural log and natural exponent and covered some limits and various examples of those. We touched on antiderivatives a little bit and how that applies to the kinematic equations of physics. We finished with 5 minutes or so left, so I told her the story of how Einstein revolutionized physics with his theory of relativity. I think we had a great session overall."

"The student was having difficulty simplifying exponential expressions, so we reviewed related properties (product of powers, power of power, power of product, quotient of powers, zero power property, power of a quotient, and reciprocal of a power). She was having particular difficulty with applying the distributive property to terms in exponential expressions and grasping the significance of a negative exponent (reciprocal of a power property), but she was doing much better with these problems by the end of the session. She was highly engaged and cooperative throughout the session. She is an excellent online student."

"Student A's session was primarily focused on the grammar test he has Monday. Tell him to study, study, study adverb clauses! Those are tough. Student B's session was focused on previous papers he has written. I still have them, and I will outline a more detailed assessment for next week. There are several areas I want to cover. He will also be bringing in short responses he has to turn in for his senior seminar."

"Today I asked the student to put everything we've been working on for the past several sessions together by completing another writing practice test. I asked her to focus on identifying rhetorical devices and strategies, forming a thesis, outlining, writing a strong introduction and conclusion, developing clear and well-supported analysis, and using formal language. She has shown significant improvement from where she began, particularly regarding the depth and clarity of her analysis. She has done a much better job of linking her supporting details to her main argument and on creating smooth transitions between ideas. Her conclusion was also much more focused than with previous attempts. Her analytical writing skills are now very impressive considering that she is in the 8th grade. "

"Today, I gave the student more practice problems on writing standard equations for conics, being able to identify conics, and graphing comics. We also worked on more practice problems for her assessment exam. We reviewed geometry questions, which at this point is her weakest area. "

"He worked through most of his homework packet. He's becoming quicker with some of the basic concepts and math drills we've been working on, and what we need to work on now is how he can approach a complicated word problem, something that pops up a lot on his homework. "

"Functions, unit circle, square roots Remembering that when you factor out a square root, you need to un-square root that number Student was focused on completing problems and willing to redo past problems from previous exams Remember to put parenthesis around the number when squaring a negative within your calculator Student understands to multiply by the conjugate when rationalizing the denominator (having no square roots within the denominator)"
