"We worked on some test review, volume of rectangular prisms, decimal operations, area and perimeter, and word problems. "

"We worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as changing improper fractions to mixed numbers so that she could work on her division skills."

"Today she brought her textbook which has been delivered this week. And we looked over the chapters quick and understood it is a mathematics for statistics. We went over the 2nd chapter about add, subtract, divide and multiply fractions and did several exercises on that chapter. After that we checked over her homework she has been assigned and had some questions on specific problems and we addressed them over. Next we continued with next chapter about center of a data (mean, median, mode) We did a couple examples on each center of a data terms. At the end she has been assigned with homework on mean, median, and mode. "

"Today we focused mainly on limits, including limits of rational functions and trigonometric functions. The student seemed to understand each problem as we worked through them, although a little more time was needed for a few trig ones. Good strategies for limits of rational functions include factoring, trying to eliminate the denominator, and then plugging x into the function. For trig, it's trickier, but manipulating trig identities will usually lead somewhere. Often the most important thing is confidence, especially with keeping a motivated mindset when faced with a seemingly difficult problem. Once we get a solid understanding of functions and limits, I would like to work on strategies for increasing the student's speed. "

"The student and I had a productive session this afternoon and it was great getting to know him. We worked through his PSAT book, and completed the first chapter. We covered linear equations this afternoon which included slope, y-intercept, solving linear equations, and understanding linear equations in word problems. He seemed to struggle with doing some of the simple math calculations, and often rushed through his work to get to the right answer. When prompted though, he was easily able to correct, and take in new information about seeing different ways to solve problems. "

"In this tutoring session, the student and I spent our time talking about the things that she needs help with, the way she learns, and her teacher's expectations. "

"We talked about rates of change and how we can use them to find critical points. We defined local extrema in the sense of critical points and worked on practice problems finding critical points and where the function is increasing and decreasing. Overall a session focused on introducing the key concepts for applications of derivatives."

"The student and I spent most of the session going over questions he had from the chemistry/ physics section bank. These are some of the most difficult applications of chemistry and physics knowledge that he is going to encounter, so we were deliberate about solving each of them and filling the conceptual holes that may have caused him to miss them. We then briefly went over the endocrine system and brain regions. He is reaching the point where he has a solid grasp of all content areas and he is doing much better avoiding the simple mistakes he was making when we first started. He now needs to work on breaking through the higher difficulty questions that require focus and attention to detail. He isn't limited by his understanding, but instead by speed, over analysis, and missing subtle details. With focused practice over the next two weeks, I am certain he can prepare himself to receive the high score I know he is capable of."

"Today, when I met with the student, we covered a few different topics such as distance formula, x and y intercepts, how to plug given values in functions, and finding domains. I left him with the page of solutions and topic descriptions that we worked on, including some important formulas. He has multiple homework assignments coming due, so I told him to work on them and complete the problems he understands and bring some that he doesn't understand to my attention during our next session. He received an A on the homework that I helped him with. Overall, this was a good session."

"We went over equations necessary for the student's physics and which situations they would apply to. He is going to send me his study guide and possibly we will go over any he is struggling with before his test on Friday."

"The student and I reviewed for her quiz on circles. We used all theorems regarding chord length, diameter, arc length, inscribed polygons etc. She did really well with this, and we were sure to really review the wording of the theorems in order to create a deeper understanding of these theorems and when you can use them. We were careful not to assume any information and just use the given information. "
