"The student had asked me to help her go through a review for an upcoming test over rational exponents. Though she had completed much of the review, she had told me that she was not sure exactly what a fractional exponent represented. I showed her the relationship between rational exponents and roots, both what she needed to do for the remainder of her assignment and why she had been working the previous problems the way she had. I used the remainder of our time to look over the answers she had written out before I had arrived, and found a couple that were incorrect. Since it was also a matter of factoring, I took some time to help her identify when removing the greatest common factor would help to simplify the process of solving these problems."

"This week the student is beginning polynomials. We reviewed how to categorize polynomials by degree and number of terms. We then moved on to adding and subtracting polynomials. He had little difficulty with this concept and was able to master distribution of the "minus" sign. We then did a brief overview of what different polynomial functions look like graphically. This was to give him a preview and reference. Lastly, we covered multiplication of two polynomials which included an introduction to "FOIL". I gave him 3 problems to work through during his sister's session. We reviewed and corrected the problems at the end of the session. The student's sister is working on exponential and logarithm transformations. She has a quiz tomorrow. She did well on her previous quiz scoring a 13/14. She had a great understanding of the graphical shifts, stretches, etc. She was confused with transforming logarithms containing additional components, ( y=4+log (x-2) ). I suggested she write out a base transformation both ways (y=log(x); 10^y=x) and use that for reference with the more complex problems. We also covered a quick review of natural logarithms and e^x. She seemed to have a much better mastery of the material at the end of the session. "

"The student had received some feedback on a writing assignment he completed a few weeks ago, and his teacher suggested he work on moving away from opinion-based writing and into more supported claims. So, we did an exercise with the goal of helping him see how he can re-write (or even just re-phrase) his ideas so that he does not write opinionated essays. He seemed to understand the process in an abstract sense. Hopefully, he can learn to elevate his thought process to a bigger picture and move beyond the "I think" statements. Additionally, we are working on integrating more complex and compound sentences into his writing, and we spent a few minutes practicing identifying each, so he has an understanding of sentence structure varies (which he did very well in)."

"Today was my first session with the student. He did very well today. We began the session by working on math achievement and quantitative reasoning. He did very well with the math, and I was very impressed with his solutions to the problems. One of the issues that was observed is that he has a tendency to read fast and not see the whole problem. I talked to him about slowing down and reading the whole problem. For the next session, we will work on taking our time while reading and looking for the important information in the text and in math word problems."

"The student did a great job tonight - it was our first meeting so we were getting to know each other and trying to find the best way to work together. She took the SSAT last weekend, and although she doesn't have her results yet, she knows that the verbal section was challenging for her. While it is impossible to learn every word that one could potentially be on the test, the more words she learns well, the better she will do - and the more prepared she will be for all of life, as well. We went through a verbal practice test on the site and kept track of all the words with which she is not familiar, and we will turn those into flash cards during our next meeting. We will use pictures to represent the meanings with clues to the words when we can. We looked at a practice test with root words, too, and it does feel like we made good progress in our time together this evening."

"In today's session, we worked on some of the new material the student had as well as some worksheets that I brought with me. I made a sheet for him to work on involving conversions between decimals, percents, and fractions. He is definitely improving! We will pick back up Thursday!"

"The student finished her assignment on proportions and distance modeling today, and she also got about halfway through her next assignment on simplifying compound fractions. She has gotten very strong with proportions, and despite some initial confusion, she is getting used to the compound fractions. "

"The student and I reviewed basic chemistry concepts, like molar mass and balancing equations. We did some stoichiometry calculations. He didn't remember exactly how to set everything up, but he did remember parts of it, and how to find a final answer. I want to review more chemistry before his final in a few weeks. "
