"The student and I went over his cumulative review sheet over chapters 1-12, as well as his final questions and problems in preparation for his chapter 12 exam. We went over specific examples and questions in each section."

"We reviewed prepositional phrases - what they are, what they do, and how to identify them. She seemed to understand them well. We then moved on to commas and briefly went over all the different uses for them. We did some practice which she did very well on. We finished by going over multiplying and dividing numbers by powers of 10. She did well with me on them."

"The student and I had our first meeting Sunday afternoon at the library. We went over some of her work and discussed strategies for improving her grades. We plan on meeting next weekend where we can drill problems and get her to be more comfortable at picking up details and increasing her test taking speed by becoming more familiar with the material. We will work on batteries of problems similar to the kind she would see on a test."

"Today was a very packed session with the student. He had a few assignments in his algebra book to complete. While he was doing very well, I needed to help him understand some of the concepts and through some of the more difficult problems, which were quite difficult for a 7th grade level. He also had some critical thinking questions to answer for science about the change of state for substances (solid, liquid, gas). He understood these very well. He also told me that he was on the honor roll for this term, and I am so proud of him! "

"Tonight I worked with the student on our usual subjects, Vocabulary and Writing. We reviewed vocabulary from LA; we made edits on our stories (putting in better verbs, more specific nouns, more detailed imagery); we wrote on the stories; we did a new writing prompt in preparation for essay-writing (Serious argument for why a certain cartoon character should be president); and we ended with a poetry game. I had the student choose two of the prompts from my handout to write on, Tuesday and Wednesday. She is expected to write for 4 solid minutes on each prompt, and show me her work next session. I also told her to brainstorm a few more ideas for the argument essay. I hope that this assignment can be both fun and helpful. "

"The student had a couple missing assignments from module 14. One was homework that was lost in her binder (we found it) and the other was worksheets that she thought were extra credit and not mandatory. She completed all missing work, so she should be all caught up now!"

"Student 1 had just taken a test and received it back. We went through the required test corrections, and the mistakes he made were merely calculation mistakes that were done under pressure. The grade will improve as time goes on, and he becomes more comfortable with the material. Student 2 worked on making x/y tables, set up and solving algebraic word problems including ones about money and time, and learned how to plot equations on a coordinate plane and solve a question using a graph. Towards the end, she could graph all of the questions confidently (and she got them all right)."

"The student needed to study for her test the following day on graphing periodic functions from their equation. She had definitely improved from Tuesday's session. We practiced mostly on problems from her review guide and homework that had horizontal shifts. She also needed to be able to write the equation of a periodic function based on its graph, so we reviewed all of the problems from her homework and talked about what she should look for in order to identify the different trigonometric functions. Overall, she was showing more confidence than she was on Tuesday, which is a good improvement. She will contact me to schedule our next tutoring session."

"Student 1 had a test yesterday on piecewise functions and absolute value functions. He thinks he did well on it. I gave him some piecewise function problems and greatest integer function problems, and he did ok with them. Student 2 has been learning square roots and Pythagorean Theorem and a few solving linear equations by graphing. I gave him problems involving these, and he did very well with them. They both had very good attitudes today."

"We covered trig identities. The student's attitude was positive, and it was clear that she had studied since the last session. She did most of the problems herself but asked for help when she got stuck. I would explain why certain things worked or did not work, and the strategy was to try and have her work the problems on her own."

"We went over word problems with variations (direct, rational exponents, and exponential), and reviewed how to solve rational equations. She is doing well with the material and feels very comfortable with it. We looked ahead to solving word problems with several independent variables. "
