"He worked on his homework over roots and their properties. Then we went through the chapter review and exam to make sure he understood how he has to solve each question. We solved almost 50 questions. I explained to him the concepts and how he has to solve each one. He understood them and he was able to solve them by himself. He is doing well and should be ready for the exam. "

"During today's session we spent time on reviewing for the student's exam which she has next Tuesday. We reviewed Reading/writing decimals, decimal place value, rounding decimals to nearest tenth /hundredth, rewriting decimals as fractions and mixed numbers, multiplying decimals, dividing decimals, estimation, and world problems. She did a wonderful job with each section. Additional problems were created and were completing during our session. All the work was left with the student to review in preparation for the exam. In regards to multiplying decimals, I reviewed with the student the helpful hint of "count how many decimal places there are in each of the numbers involved in the multiplication problem, and that will be the number of times needed to move the decimal spot to the left on the final product of an answer. The student demonstrated her knowledge of this trick, and did a very good job. She did a great job on her word problems as she demonstrated knowledge of being able to set up her word problems appropriately. She did a much better with taking her time and reading the instructions in full during today's session. She also demonstrated a greater level of confidence with her word problems, more than usual. She provided an beat personality during today's session (as usual), and was a pleasure to work with! "

"The student is very sweet and smart. We completed a portion of his exam review packet and planned to meet next week to finish it. I plan to review all concepts with him next week so that he can do well on his test. "

"During this session we went over algebra questions focusing on exponent rules and imaginary numbers. Overall this session went well."

"The student and I finished the online practice test. We covered concepts such as perpendicular lines, trigonometry, quadratics, volume, and area. She should do 10 (or more) practice questions from the online practice problems. "

"We worked on absolute value inequalities and graphing them on a number line. He seemed to be picking that up well. For the remainder of the session, he asked to review some of the Spanish words to prepare for his test later in the week. I could tell he was practicing, and his skills have been improving. I was informed he did very well on his Spanish test, which I could see from our time together."

"We reviewed some of the exercises from yesterday and the student did well. But when I gave him his weekly quiz, he was struggling with following directions. He did a great job remembering how to spell United States of America and he remembered the capital. We're going to concentrate more on directions, next week."

"Today, the student worked on her homework for the weekend, which consisted of geometric sequences. We practiced writing those sequences in both explicit and recursive formulas. She started understanding the topics after much practice, but it is clear that she doesn't have confidence in her abilities. We'll work to boost that confidence back up during the upcoming sessions. I plan to go through the past tests to see specifically where she struggled while also staying on top of her current assignments so that she doesn't fall further behind in the class."

"We worked on por vs para the whole time, which is what the student needed to study for. We will be meeting again soon to prepare her for her upcoming quiz/test. She seemed to grasp the concept of por vs para very well considering it is one of the hardest rules in Spanish! "

"Equilibrium is the major topic right now and the student and I worked on a homework sheet all about ICE tables. The ICE tables show the Initial concentration, the Change in concentration, and then the Equilibrium state of all products/reactants in a solution at equilibrium. This was a tough concept at first, but I think he did a great job working through it and was able to demonstrate his ability to work through the problems as we went along. We finished the session with some more inscribed circles. He is getting better with the material each day we work on it. "
