"Tonight's session revolved around algebra, including both current material and review material. We went over the difference between domain and range, the definition of a function, and the vertical line test with interpretations. We also reviewed the definition of complementary versus supplementary, as relating to angles and triangles. We closed the session out by reviewing the sum of angles for a triangle and different types of parallelograms."

"During this session, the student and I finished working on some of his homework assignments, including practicing for two presentations for tomorrow. "

"We covered a review worksheet going over factoring polynomials without solving them. Some of them were the typical ax^2+bx+c, but others were more complicated and even had up to x^4 and the key was to factor out x's first. I think it was a good session because he had more energy than yesterday and this topic was more recent in his memory. He has an exam tomorrow on this and I feel pretty confident about his ability on this topic. As long as he doesn't make any minor arithmetic mistakes, he should be fine. "

"I had the student write all known capital and lowercase letters with no model. I assessed his recognition of letters and letter sounds. We also worked a little on numbers and rote counting. We then read some kindergarten-level books that focused on the sight words "the" and "can." He is improving in all concepts we work on. There is room for improvement in his letter sounds and writing letters. These are areas we will work on the most in the next tutoring session. I left his grandmother with sets of flashcards as well as feedback on what letters, sounds, and numbers he knows so she can work with him on the ones he struggles with."

"We went over how to determine whether a relation between sets is a function, how to determine the domain of functions, piecewise functions, and interval notation. The student did not struggle too much and understood most of what we went over, but she made a few mistakes that we quickly corrected. The material we covered is introductory material, and she was fairly enthusiastic given what we covered. One of strategies I gave to determine the domain of a function was drawing out a number line and shading in the portion of the line in which the function was well defined. This number line is used to put the domain in interval notation. Because of the little mistakes that were made, I would encourage her to do some more practice since practice makes perfect, especially since she understood everything we covered. "

"During this session, we continued to focus on decoding and comprehension. I noticed that the student often went back and reread when the meaning of what he was reading wasn't clear. He attempted to sound out and utilize other strategies to decode unknown words. I noticed that he had a little trouble with reading contractions correctly and often would read the contraction as two words instead of one. This is something we will continue to work on in our upcoming sections. He struggled also with making connections to the text he was reading, but he did very well with his overall comprehension of the text. We will continue to build on these skills during our next session. I left some books for him to practice with until then."

"The student and I met to go over various things today. We covered some basics of matrices and started reviewing for his final exam. We began the review with conics and will progress from there in coming lessons."

"The student has a Biology test tomorrow. We reviewed the six types of evidence for evolution. They are artificial selection, molecular homology, comparative embryology, the fossil record, anatomical homology and vestigial organs. Then I asked him the question: How do humans provide pressure in artificial selection? I then taught that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny and helped with his bio exam review."

"In this session, we worked on determining the six trigonometric functions by constructing triangles. We also reviewed the three main trigonometric identities that need memorizing and simplifying expressions using the unit circle."

"The student's instructor had given a series of assignments and we were able to review what the student needed have completed. The first topic covered direct and inverse variation. She was able to determine the constant of variation and write equations modeling situations. The second topic involved graphing a family of graphs based on the equation 1/x. She was able to accurately describe how the graph changed given variations in the equations. She was also able to correctly determine vertical and horizontal asymptotes. Finally, she was required to use this knowledge to write equations from word problems and then make predictions. As always, she did great!"

"We went through several problems on how to find the area of 3D shapes. We discussed homework the student continued working on independently over the weekend. We also began working through a different unit on cross-sections."
