"The student continues to be working on Geometry in class. We briefly covered how to write recursive and explicit series as we were working on a few weeks ago. Then we began to cover the Geometry proofs she just started working on in class. As this is a new topic and it has not covered extensively yet, her knowledge of how to write the proofs was limited. There are many theorems that she still needs to learn to be able to solve the questions with more ease, but I think by the end of the session she had a very good sense for how to approach the problems and how to logic through them. We will continue to work on them."

"The student explained to me her situation and that she had failed calculus previously and will be retaking it in the fall. She wants a review of the entire subject at a comfortable pace to her and with explanation and detailed examples catering to her needs and speed of learning. We got started as soon as we discussed our plan for a few minutes, with the definition of a limit and several ways to evaluate limits. She remembered most of this, and we sailed through it, with a snag on trigonometric functions, which we will have to review in depth due to her lack of remembrance of the unit circle and trig properties. At the very end, I asked her to explain the difference between an average and instantaneous rate of change, and her answer was satisfactory. Then came the function and graphical definitions of a derivative, which we will continue with next time. All in all, a great start."

"This was my first session with the student. For this session, he wanted to cover some basic principles of functions in pre-cal. He also had homework related to step-wise functions. We covered how to graph the functions as well as how to compose composite functions out of simple functions. I also discussed with the family about future plans for both SAT and subject tutoring."

"Today we went over the optimization problems. The challenges for solving these questions are to come up with a function that models the situation, and to find the endpoints (recall that max/min of a function in a given differentiable interval only occurs at its critical points and endpoints). We went over several examples, and the student seemed to get more and more proficient. At first he did not know where to start, but after I hinted to him, he could solve the problem on this own later."

"Tonight we continued to work on the review of molarity, intermolecular forces, conversion of grams to moles, calculation of molarity and concentration, and the relationship of intermolecular forces to freezing point and boiling point."

"I worked with the student on his review packet for Chemistry. He understood most of the material, just needed a brush up on some concepts. One section wasn't covered in class so we started on the ideas there. Also reviewed some of Geometry especially slope, distance, and midpoint."

"For this session, the student worked on multiplication of 2 digit numbers using the area method. He seems to be proficient at this skill. He also practiced reading comprehension strategies by finding the facts or details in the story, which he was able to do very well. He listened to a short story about an Olympian and answered some cause/effect questions. He struggled with identifying the effects without some hints. We will continue to work on this skill. "

"This week, we worked on simplifying expressions and setting up equations for unknown angles. We also spent some time reviewing equations from geometry. The student is good at solving the equations once they're set up, especially since there aren't any negative angles to deal with."

"Sunday we covered problems from 9.1 and 9.2 which were all about square roots and how to factor them. The student did excellent on this lesson and with a few adjustments was able to complete the homework alone. His improvement is really showing here and I also feel like he has a better foundation and a fresh start. "

"Today we focused on the student's spelling. His spelling words have the "oo" phonogram this week. He did all of his spelling homework for the week and we went over flashcards for all 20 words. He got most of them right away, but would occasionally forget a letter, so I left his spelling flashcards for him to practice before his test on Friday. I also encouraged him to practice writing the words because he will often spell the words differently when speaking them. He is showing improvement. I hope to see his scores increase as time goes on."

"The student is on series, a very tough concept. However, by the end of our lesson he was handling most problem types very well! "
