"We went over his review material for his test on Friday. We covered GCF, factoring, parabolas and word problems. His factoring has improved tremendously, he is just a little unsure of when to solve and when to just factor. He is still learning parabolas. We went over how to use the calculator."

"For this session, I reviewed with the student what we went over on Monday. We reviewed nouns, verbs, and pronouns, and then we began working on past, present, and future tense verbs. After that, I worked with him on his handwriting. "

"I assisted the student with his science by checking over his homework. Then, I helped him with his English vocabulary. I also helped him with his social studies project, which consisted of planning an itinerary for a trip to Europe. He did a good job today."

"I worked with the student on reading comprehension. She struggles with understanding primary purpose; she continually searches for quick answers and approximations that yield "correct" but superficial answers. Critical reading and reasoning skills need to be developed. For math, we covered exercises including distributive multiplication, rational numbers operations, perimeters, similar/ congruence, and plotting. In verbal, we covered various Latin and Greek prefixes. "

"The student has an exam on Friday. I used the questions that he submitted to me to test him, and I proposed more challenging questions. I engaged him in productive struggle, and since he has one more day to study for the exam, he will turn this into an advantage as he reviews the topics on his own."

"We covered equations for a parabola and quadratic regression. The student struggled with finding x intercepts for an equation in quadratic regression form. He was inquisitive and patient with me as I explained concepts and I would be happy to work with him in the future. He has his teacher's review notes and I told him that I would be willing to review any work he may do in the day remaining. I enjoyed working with him and I wish for him nothing but the best!"

"Today, the student and I worked on reading accuracy. I tested him on a level K book titled "Gorillas" and he read this book with 97% accuracy. We are now working on reading rate and fluency. After reading, we worked on writing a narrative paragraph about who he would want to be if he could be anyone. We also worked on the reading test in the practice book. "

"We began with the computer sentence completion, and the student did well with reading and making inferences. Next, we worked on the 4th grade Fry word list. She then completed a worksheet that focused on the 'ou' sound. Then she re-told what she had read this far from "Amanda Pig" and then made a prediction based on the next chapter title. She read aloud from the book and answered comprehension questions. Then, she read a short nonfiction piece on spiders and answered inference, comprehension, multiple choice, and long answer questions. "

"The student did a great job today. We talked about thesis-driven essays and I gave her a few examples and visuals to explain the process. We then brainstormed for her next paper. After that, we reviewed a three-page memo she had written as part of a group project. Great job tonight!"

"We spent much of this session on social studies, reviewing the Constitutional convention, the three branches of government, the Bill of Rights (briefly), and vocabulary related to these topics. After we had covered this material to a basic level, we moved on to a review of the student's math homework. We reviewed how to find a percentage, which we'd spent time on in two previous sessions. We went through the basics of probability, and he completed his homework on probability. Finally, we spent some time on a drill of math facts, particularly multiplication tables and addition to ten. The student noted that the addition-to-ten drills I'd given him previously were helping him add and subtract large numbers faster and more accurately."

"The focus on transformations-reflections continues, with more emphasis on the algebraic method to find the reflected image due to an oblique line of reflection. This was perfect for the student, as algebra is what he really need help with. He has been getting the practice and has certainly shown improvement. These problems built up on the introductory problems for vocabulary words like mid-point and perpendicular, and formulas like the slope formula and the different linear forms of equations. "
