"Today we worked on: yesterday - today - tomorrow - Gestern - heute - morgen; Konjugation von â€˜arbiter'; simple past and past tense."

"The concepts that we generally covered were mixed fractions, word problems, and percentage conversions. The student initially struggled with solving word problems, but over time developed a better understanding of how to solve word problems. The student was very attentive in this session, as we did more problems than the last session. I went over some basic strategies again with the student, like process of elimination. The positive thing from this session is that the student has a better knowledge of how to solve a variety of problems from mixed fractions to decimal conversions."

"Worked on some material on probability as well as some chemistry on acids and bases as well as started on oxidation and reduction."

"I reviewed applications of the derivative, including the first and second derivative tests, and tests for concavity. I worked some problems with the student, and she has a very good understanding of how to do these problems."

"We covered properties of limits (including limits at infinity, left and right endpoint behavior), discontinuity (removable, jump), continuity, compositions of functions, and common functions and graphs. The student needed clarification on certain topics (mainly continuity) and seemed to understand well--we reviewed the rest of the material doing 20 or so problems together."

"I worked with the student in English and math. For English, he completed three pages of his grammar book focusing on introductory phrases. He also was able to learn 10 new vocabulary words as part of his extensive vocabulary list for the class. For math, he was able to complete two works on synthetic division. He did an excellent job completing all of these assignments and was able to stay focused throughout the session."

"The student worked on dividing decimals in school today. To begin, he finished working on the multi-step decimal word problems we began yesterday. These problems are the types of open-ended word problems that trick him normally, but he did much better with them tonight. He is improving with his problem solving skills as we continue to work through the problems. After completing that, he worked on dividing decimals by powers of ten. Initially, he said the rules backwards, but once we wrote them out, he was able to complete these problems. He is being more careful and checking his work now."

"The student and I covered vectors, component and magnitude, projections, dot products, scalar vs vector, solving for angle and magnitude, and trig. The student did well with all subjects covered."

"The student has a test on Friday on Ch 10, everything you ever wanted to know about circles. There are 17 theorems to memorize in ch 10 and he's about halfway to remembering each of them. They are similar enough that you could easily use the wrong theorem on a problem if you don't know them well. Additionally, there's a bit of a puzzle in each question that needs to be solved, which involves combining the use of 2 or 3 theorems to find the answer. We worked through several of them, and by the end he'd caught on to how to solve the puzzles. If he memorizes his theorems, he'll do well on the test, and we finished with that thought at the end of the session."

"The student and I got a lot of reviewing done in preparation for his Geometry test tomorrow. We found the areas of trapezoids, calculated the diagonals of rectangles, and broke down complex composite shapes into more manageable polygons to better understand their properties. I also gave him some more challenging word problems that combined Geometry questions with the Algebraic method of solving quadratic equations. Although he seemed a bit nervous at first, he proved he did actually know most of the material once we got down to talking about it. I think he is well prepared for the test, and I feel good about our session."

"We covered area, perimeter, circumference, and metric conversions. The student needed help understanding how to convert/the rules for different conversions. The student was ready to practice the concepts she did not yet understand. I reinforced the strategies she learned in class. I left her with practice from the unit 2 worksheet. "
