"We reviewed curvature, concavity, and identifying extrema by reviewing the student's notes and class examples. We ensured that she understood that day's material. "

"The student completed coordinate plane homework and the linear equations packet. We covered writing equations in two variables based on tables and word scenarios and even had a sneak preview of the distance formula and square roots (high school level)! Student was very positive. Student was far more fluent about the order of operations and was better able to distinguish between the rules of multiplying/dividing versus adding/subtracting exponents. "

"The student and I worked on problems he uploaded from his book covering trig identities and trig equations. He is getting a lot more comfortable with the trig identities especially and he has never exhibited much trouble with the equations so I think he is on a good track for his upcoming test. "

"We continued to focus on the math section of the test. We used GMAT-level math to simulate the more challenging questions that she has been challenged by. In order to continue improving, she needs to do a few things: 1. Stop making minor calculation mistakes. This can be improved by showing work and being more focused and "in the moment." 2. Review fundamental concepts -- SAT questions are designed to challenge students who do not have a very firm grasp of the concepts that are being tested. We're working on "classifying" problems, identifying patterns among problems (right-brained thinking), and putting ourselves in the mind of the test maker. 3. Continue practicing -- This is important as well, especially redoing problems that she previously found difficult."

"We went over the student's most recent practice test. We went through the math section and looked at the math problems that took up a lot of her time and talked about time management strategy. Then, I noticed she was missing word problems, so we spent a good portion of the lesson doing practice ones. For homework, I gave her a worksheet to finish and then some arithmetic exercises aimed at decreasing the amount of small errors she makes."

"We spent the whole session reviewing the student's pretest assignment, which consisted of a lot of problems involving inverses of 3x3 matrices. He seems to be making a lot of improvement in this area."

"Continuing our work on the reading section, we worked with shorter passages as well as methods for increasing the speed of the longer sections. The student is doing very well on these, and with continued practice, she will get the speed she needs. We then transitioned to the writing section, which we will touch on in our next sessions. However, we will concentrate most of our effort in other places since she is naturally good at the writing section."

"The student said she's working with fractions in school, but she's still pretty new to it. We worked on identifying equivalent fractions, as well as simplifying fractions, which means we covered common factors. She's still getting the hang of the relationship between equivalent fractions, but she's beginning to understand what's going on mathematically, and with time and practice she'll really master it. We also worked on comparing decimals (100%) and some word problems involving money. Other than a few mistakes with multiplication and not reading the problem all the way through to fully solve it, she did well. She only made one mistake with using the wrong operation. We finished with some really quick practice with finding perimeter and area. She's making great progress in math!"

"Today the student worked on five questions for his online homework. All five of the questions were about standing waves on a string. He calculated the fundamental frequencies of strings of varying densities, lengths, and tensions, as well as some of the string's harmonics. At the end of the session we calculated the beat-frequency between two strings of varying tensions that were otherwise identical."

"Read a couple parts of chapter 3 and 19, from Outcasts United by Warren St. John, and began a draft for a new essay assignment on a topic her professor provided. Made plans to meet on Sunday to complete this essay. "

"We went through her practice exam on kinetics (including reaction order, rate, intermediate and calculations) and some organic chemistry problem (including nomenclature, isomers, nucleo/electro philic properties). "
