"The student and I spent this entire session preparing for her geometry quiz. Some of the subject matter is pretty difficult, so the extra time was well spent. She seemed to have a solid understanding by the end, and hopefully she does well on her quiz!"

"The student had a review sheet for a test coming up on Tuesday. It was mostly working with Exponential and Logarithmic functions. There were graphing problems, solving equations, using properties, and word problems. She felt she had a good grasp of the material."

"The student has an exam on u-substitution with integration tomorrow. We did practice problems from a textbook I own. About 20. The student understands u-substitution but has trouble recognizing some derivatives and integrations. But the student is trying hard on remembering them. Overall good session and I believe he is ready for his exam. "

"Today we recalculated the difficult problems in physics from the first week of the course. The problems were difficult for two reasons. They either involved a two step problems, as in free fall + sound back, or they involved solving quadratic equation and figuring out which solution is applicable. That was in case of free fall. Strategies employed were to always test whether the solution obtained makes physical sense, as in having correct magnitude and sign. The other strategy was to be careful from the get go about setting up the origin of the coordinate system and positive/ negative direction for all vectors. The student is very quick and attentive, he is able to quickly solve these problems when given adequate explanation of the problem."

"For math, we reviewed a worksheet she had done in class and talked about perpendicularity and slope. I told her that "rise over run" can also be thought of as "change in y over change in x," and that seemed to help her understand slope even better. We also took a look at the work she'd been doing in science class, which was designing an experiment. Finally, she started an assignment for her history class, which involved picking out a news article about a current event and writing about it. "

"Today we did the second half of a practice exam, which included problems with: unit conversions, limiting reagent, balancing chemical equations, and calculating the empirical formula. I also spent some time quizzing the student on common ions (molecular formula and their charges). I am confident that he understands the material, and will do well on his exam. "

"We focused mainly on physics, reviewing velocity and acceleration and units. The student is doing well working with velocity and finding both the instantaneous and average velocities for an object that is accelerating. We looked at finding the total distance traveled for an object that is accelerating including objects in free fall. We went through all the formulas for chapter 2 on the formula sheet and focused on what each variable was and the standard units they were measured in. He is still a bit unsure when working with units, so we practiced manipulating the units when using the velocity and distance formulas for accelerating objects. I left him a list of the standard units for velocity, speed, acceleration, distance and displacement so he can start associating the units with the type of quantity as well as two of the examples we did for combining units. "

"Today, the student and I were able to review all of her algebra homework during our session. We focused on writing equations in point slope form, standard form, and slope-intercept form as well as writing equations from word problems. She has been able to organize her work so nicely and because of this, she often has little errors in her work. She particularly excels in writing and interpreting word problems that she is given on her homework assignments. "

"The student and I met for a Chemistry review session to prepare for her upcoming test. We revisited the periodic trends (ionization energy, electronegativity, and atomic radius) and going more in depth to explain why they occur in such a way. He has a great understanding of the concepts and just needs to review a bit more to fully master the subject matter."

"We covered vocabulary development and pre-algebra math concepts. The student had state assessment test review that had exercises in vocabulary. He knew 40% of the words, so we covered the definitions of the words and then repeated the exercises. Whenever he came to words or a concept that that he did not know, he froze, so we covered study concepts of what to do when he does not know something in order to make an educated guess. We covered the PEMDAS math concept, which is a pre-algebra concept on the test. "

"We looked over a review sheet that will be counted for a grade as well as her test corrections. I wrote down topics for the next time we meet and I will bring review for the student to make sure she is very prepared for the state assessment test!"
