"Today we worked mostly with differential equations, and went over a variety of problems. We went over a worksheet that she had from class."

"The student and I worked on his Calculus homework which was just practice multiple choice problems from past AP Calc tests. The student has a good understanding of most material. He does mix up theorems sometimes, but overall he understand the math behind the questions. "

"I looked over her English homework, she understood how to do it, but she didn't apply all of the tenses correctly. Once I pointed them out to her she realized her mistakes on her own and corrected them. We then worked on her math homework together. She was having some trouble at first but I walked her through it one by one and she was ok, but she still needs to practice. We had some spare time towards the end so we started to go over her vocabulary focusing on 1-7. "

"This was my first session with the student. I wanted to use the opportunity to learn about how he learns and what holes exist in his knowledge of the subject. He wanted to go over a take-home test that he had been given covering equations of square and cube roots. He seemed to understand the bulk of the material but tended to use the multiple choice answers available to him to find the solution when it would be faster to solve the problem as it was meant to be solved. I showed him how to do so. Finally we did some practice problems. I plan on bringing more practice material for him."

"During this session we did more of the same in preparation for the AP stats exam. All practice free response problems from the 2007 and 2014 AP stats exams. We got through just about all of the problems on both tests. Specifically we covered marginal means and proportions, general probability, study design, paired t-tests, residuals, and significance testing. As a whole, the student is doing very well, it's just the specifics in various problems that he's having trouble with. We'll just be doing more of the same until his AP test."

"The student and I reviewed the textbook for his upcoming class in preparation for the new school year. Topics covered included an introduction to linear variation between a dependent and independent variable."

"We reviewed English homework, discussed and read a nonfiction article, and then used the template from her teacher to create a detailed summary. "

"The student worked on her practice essay, going over how she approached it, talking about how to do her examples and how many to do. We also worked a lot on math, specifically geometry and probability, to continue remembering and refreshing those skills. We finished with a little bit of reading practice. "

"We continued our work with series and sequences, determining if they converge or diverge under different circumstances. In particular, we spent a lot of time focusing on alternating series and the alternating series test. We worked with both the online materials and some of the student's textbook examples to help him catch up with some of his work after he missed class last week."

"Today the student and I worked on a few problems involving mathematical induction. He was a little confused after going over it in class, so I tried to slow it down and explain each step in more detail, which he said was helpful. We went over a few simpler problems to get the process down and talked about how you could use the same steps to do the more complicated problems further down in the section. We ended by doing the setup steps for one assigned problem and got it to the point where only a few long algebra steps remain. These types of proof problems are kind of conceptual and not totally intuitive, so hopefully taking a more general approach this time helped. Even if you know how to set up the problem, it can be easy to make simple mistakes with the algebra (even I did it once or twice tonight!), so it's important to keep track of all of the terms and double check your work. "

"The student and I reviewed for her Chemistry exam on acid-base equilibria, including identifying different types of titration (strong acid-base, weak acid-strong base, or weak base-strong acid), understanding equivalence and half-equivalence point (buffer region), using half-equivalence point to find the Ka/Kb, choosing an appropriate indicator for an acid/base titration, setting up ICF and ICE charts to determine the remaining concentration of acid/base and the pH/pOH of the resulting solution, and applying Ksp to determine whether a precipitate occurs for a salt solution. The student was initially confused about the difference between ICE and ICF and the setup of Ksp, but she eventually grasped the concepts. "
