"Prepped for a term paper and studied for a quiz. Memorization of main personages. We went through the student's assignments thoroughly."

"We continued to cover material for her end of semester exam. Including the quadratic formula, discriminants and solutions, putting an equation into vertex form, completing the square."

"We spent time preparing the student for her upcoming algebra exam. We worked through list problems where she had to find the number of possibilities in each "slot" of the list. We also worked with tree diagrams a little. She is very good at doing binomial expansion. I showed her the relationship between the two and how she can obtain the Pascal's triangle using combinations. We also practiced finding a specific term within a binomial expansion using combinations. We practiced some worksheets to make sure she understands how to do the problems as well as comprehension of the concepts. She did great today!"

"During this session, we worked on building the student's confidence with single variable equations, pulling relevant information out of word problems, absolute value equations, and general inequality equations. She was very open to the material and did not get discouraged when the problems were difficult. I tried to emphasize just focusing on one step at a time rather than looking at the whole problem and getting discouraged. I believe that she has a better understanding and an increased confidence in her abilities after this session. "

"The student spent the first half of the session going through a practice problem and writing out steps for division problems. I asked her to write them out "like a recipe," and then apply the steps to a new problem. This really helped her remember the steps, and by the end of the session, she was able to explain how to do long division. She also benefited from two short, 2-minute instructional YouTube videos on long division, where she could get a visual sense of the math and step-by-step instructions. As we watched a couple of practice problems, we hit pause so she could anticipate what the next step was in the video. She learns very well from correcting her mistakes and approaching the concept from multiple directions. "

"This was our first session. We discussed some of the topics that the student had problems with. We worked through her homework assignment on quadratic equations, factoring, simplifying rational functions, etc. She seemed to have a better understanding of the topic after the session, but she still needs to review her notes and do more practice problems. She was engaged and attentive during the session."

"In today's session, we reviewed polar coordinates and parametric equations for the student's final exam. These are the last two topics we needed to cover and are very straightforward. She understood both of these concepts very well and was able to do problems on them. I gave her a list of topics that need to be included on her formula sheet for the final and told her to contact me with any questions. She is much more confident and understands the material much better than she did when we first started working together. She will likely do well on her final if she continues to work hard and review the material a little more on her own before the final."

"Today we went over what the student's teacher covered in class: factoring the difference of two squares. She understood it fairly quickly as we had already touched on it in the past. We reviewed her homework and she did quite well figuring out the problems on her own. It only took about 30 minutes for her to complete her homework, so we worked on some practice problems online reviewing what we have already done in the past and adding another layer of difficulty to what we did today. She did very well on all of these problems as well. Great session."

"The student and I reviewed his presentation for his financial/math project. He also worked on system of equations (graphing, elimination, substitution, and using x and y intercepts). He is progressing well with his math skills. His confidence level is extremely high, and he feels comfortable with the material."

"Today, we went over math and science questions for the student's end of year exams. He understands the material well and can do most questions in his head. We will move our focus to writing solutions in an organized and methodical fashion so that he can track his thoughts on paper. "

"Today, the student and I had our last review session before his exam later today. Last night, I gave him several practice problems to work through. Today, we went over each of those problems. The first few questions involved taking derivatives. He got to practice using the chain rule and the quotient rule, both of which he understood quite well. Next, we did a graphing example. The student found critical values, intervals of increasing/decreasing, local maxima/minima, inflection points, and intervals of concave up/down. He did this problem very well, too. Then we moved on to integrals. We practiced integrating polynomials, the exponential function, and using the natural log function. We also did a couple of examples of integration by u-substitution and integration by parts. Lastly, we did two area problems. The student definitely seemed very comfortable with all of the different concepts and different types of problems. He mentioned that he felt prepared for his exam, and I believe he is. "
