"Although pretty good in conversation, the student has had no formal training, but I determined that my materials fit her perfectly. We did view some PowerPoints on basic grammar to set the foundation and we'll work from there. I found the vocabulary online to be too difficult for her at this time, so the inclusion and comprehensive method that I designed is what we plan to use. I left her with the notes and verb conjugations that we learned and practiced for her to incorporate them in her daily conversation and even try to form some sentences using them. I also had her try some other online exercises and she did great. It seemed to be the boost of confidence she needed. "

"The student and I went over her review for her test tomorrow. We used coordinates and the slope to find equations that needed to be written in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form. She was able to work this through. "

"The student and I went over his reading packet today. We read his short story together, and then we worked through all the problems and questions in the packet related to the story, answering them all in detail and using full sentences. We managed to also fit in a practice test for his spelling words, as well as go over the definitions of his 5 reading words. He has logged in 20 minutes of reading every day of the week so far, which is great! I told him to keep it up."

"Today I started uniform circular motion with the student. We covered how to apply the ABCs of force problems to situations where the object is moving at constant speed in a circle. In particular, we started vertical circles and analyzed a few interesting scenarios that can arise on rollercoasters as the speed of the object changes. I left the student with an AP question from 1995 to complete, which we will go over at the start of our next session"

"Today, the student learned some new vocabulary about Thanksgiving! She learned the French words for turkey, gravy, pilgrims, Native Americans, etc. Some songs we sang today included a review of colors and "la famille." We also watched an episode of Le Petit Nicolas. The student is as sweet as ever, and she is really becoming more patient with learning French overall!"

"We covered translation of figures with coordinates and without coordinates, and the student's attitude was excellent. He solved a lot of problems using strategies that I gave him, and he has some homework for our next session."

"The student is a very bright student. She is very efficient in Letter Recognition and sounds. She is slightly shy but she can be a beautiful, bright person once you break the ice. In our session we covered sight words, high frequency words using books. We covered beginning sounds and simple letter blends to get an understanding of her reading levels. Next session we will focus on more high frequency words, handwriting and iPad activities regarding word building. Student was well engaged and cooperative the entire time."

"This session was dedicated to getting her ready for her test in the afternoon. We went over practice problems on all the topics we have covered so far. We covered restricting the x variable in the denominator, solving for x, least common denominator, word problems, complex numbers, completing the square, quadratic equation, and if the solution is an identity/inconsistent/conditional. I wanted to get more problems covered, but her test anxiety started kicking in whenever she made a mistake and needed a minute break. From what we covered, I feel like it was a successful review for her and got her confidence up. I just hope she doesn't get intimidated by some questions and as a result clam up, rush, or take much of a metal breather and lose time that she could devote to getting other problems done."

"We mostly did problems involving derivatives. Nearly all of them involved applying the rule for exponents, in some we applied product rule and chain rule as well. We went over a few of the trigonometric derivatives that more or less require memorization. I described how to apply quotient rule before the end of the session."

"We began with conversation about our weekends and a look at some of her journal entries. We then moved on to a reading from our reading book. The student read aloud the exercises that she had done from the book chapter. We next went over a number of exercises from our grammar book. These dealt with the various compound tenses. She is learning this all very quickly! From there she showed me some more exercises that she had done using certain idioms from the list in our book."

"We worked in two parts of last year's math text: reviewing properties and applying them, and working with inequalities and graphing them on the number line and applying them to word problems. We continue to work on how to approach word problems. One way is, if the problem offers parts to a whole or a formula, put in all the parts. Set up the equation if it is know, name the parts in the word problem, and write it out. Then, look, and often the next step presents itself. We will work more with inequalities next week."
