"We covered interest, principal, rate and time. The student needed to know how to calculate the number of months it would take to pay off a loan based on the interest and the monthly payment."

"The student and I went over specific topics she felt she needed to cover the most. These included solids of revolution, related rates, and sequences and series. We did a few free response questions and I assigned her to memorize the necessary equations that were listed in the back of her practice book."

"The student has been very attentive and excited during our sessions lately. I have seen a lot of progress with him lately and I am extremely proud! In math they were covering basic algebra and he was ahead of the game! He told me that our summer sessions were useful for the topics he is currently covering in the class! He also did English work where I supervise him while doing it! "

"The student and I covered topics in Earth and Space Science. He is very well spoken and loves to share his insights. The family and I discussed some ideas to guide future lessons. He is ready for and enjoys hands-on learning experiences."

"We practiced finding the least common denominator, converting fractions to the LCD, and then ordering those fractions by size. At first the student was having some issues with the method she was taught to identify the LCD. She was adding the numbers she got instead of multiplying them. Sometimes she would also subtract instead of dividing. After some practice and clarification, she mastered the concept and was able to correctly find the LCD for five different numbers and convert them without even using a calculator."

"The student and I prepared for his English final in two weeks by reviewing the texts he has read in class including The Giver, The Gift of the Magi, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. We paid special attention to theme analysis, and I had him write an intro paragraph for a paper on the significance of memory in The Giver. As we reviewed it, the student displayed encouraging nuance in his thinking about the topic. We will meet again next week to finish his preparation and to continue his writing and reading comprehension development."

"We discussed positioning, primary and secondary market research, and the marketing plan. The student also shared with me the marketing plan program from where they have to capture information and data. "

"The student and I worked on finding the area of composite figures. I thought she did a very good job finding the area of figures that were not in a grid or involved curves. She knew how to find the area of shaded regions using composite figures. For figures that were on a grid, she needed help separating them into figures, but she knew how to find the area of the figures we separated. She will need some more work on that concept, but overall she did a great job with the homework problems. She also had to apply concepts from the previous chapters like the Pythagorean theorem, which she did a great job on. "

"The student finished up a page in his math workbook and I checked his answers. He had a few errors, particularly with 3-digit subtraction involving zeros when regrouping. We will continue to work on those. After that, he read a book to me and his reading was more fluent than it had been. I also assessed his comprehension as he read. He is working on learning multiplication facts. I timed him on his 3's for 1 minute and he completed all but 2 of the problems within that time. Next, he practiced the division facts for 3's for 1 minute and again completed all but two problems."

"During today's session we continued work on linear equations, using x and y intercepts to graph a line, and then to find the equation for the line containing those points. We moved from using a visual rise and run to find the slope to using an algebraic representation of this. We discussed the difference between a zero slope and an undefined slope, and how this relates to fractions. The student demonstrated fluency with this topic. She shows a solid understanding of slope, how it is derived and modeled on a graph. She demonstrated a need for additional support understanding the concrete concept of the variables x and y within the linear equation. During the last part of this session, she requested help with a humanities essay in which she was developing a theme within a personal narrative. We discussed possible themes, and methods of subtly conveying the theme through symbolism and point of view within the narrative."

"The beginning of the session was spent reviewing the student's math homework, which consisted of identifying number places and addition practice. He did this without trouble. We then spent some time doing more 4th grade level problems that required him to logically work out coin amounts based on given criteria. He enjoyed these problems and was excited to do more of them. He kept requesting them and said he had never been more interested in math. I found some similar problems at the end of his 3rd grade word problem set and had him do those as well. He seems to focus better when working on problems that require him to think more. I also introduced him to a little bit of basic algebra (6 + x = 10, etc.), which he picked up quickly. "
