"The student and I went over quadratic inequality. We also revisited factorization. I reminded him of some strategies for solving quadratic equations and how to apply them on quadratic inequalities. I told him to try to solve at least 5 practice questions on each topic, and we will go over them at our next session."

"The student and I worked on a couple word problems that used given functional equations. Then I was able to help her learn the trigonometric ratios that needed to be used to find indicated parts of right triangles. She had misunderstood the first of SOHCAHTOA ratios, but I explained what it was. We worked efficiently together to find parts of given triangles usually by entering the ratios directly into her scientific calculator and, when the angle was to be found, using the inverse of the ratio that could be found using given sides to find the angle. We also did a few problems involving tangents, secants, and chords as well as central and inscribed angles of circles. It was a productive session."

"The student and I spent the session preparing for his Spanish test coming up. We reviewed preterite vs imperfect, vocabulary, and pluscuamperfecto. The verb tenses have many irregular verbs so I told him he needs to spend a chunk of time continuing to memorize these irregulars."

"The student and I began with exponent algebra. The problems were of moderate difficulty, and she did flawlessly. We switched to set theory - Venn diagrams and such. Next, we went over an introduction to probability and counting methods. Lastly, we worked on a new story. I gave her the task of focusing on developing dialogue. Most of her story was descriptions of action, but, after giving her a few examples, the dialogue began to surface more."

"The student and I began working with variables and plugging in answers. Fortunately, he already had some experience with this, so it went very smoothly. We reviewed ratios, which he picked back up, and division. We also read a passage, and I gave him his writing prompt for the next time."

"We continued to work on scientific notation. We did addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The student is getting better and better, and it seems that he's more comfortable with the material. He has a great attitude; he's easy to work with. We emphasized the importance of making sure he takes a second to identify where the decimal point is, and then also think about whether the number in scientific notation will be less than or greater than one, based on the sign of the exponent. We went over some of the steps for working through the problems a few times to help them stick in his head for his upcoming test. He's doing much better. In the past he was really hesitant and unsure of some of his work. Today he was going through his homework with much more confidence than he previously had."

"I covered solving and factoring quadratic equations with the student. We solved a few questions from one of his assignments. He initially had some difficulty in factoring the equations; however, by the end of our sessions, he had understood most of the concept and solved the questions correctly."

"The student and I reviewed problems from one of her homework assignments and from her review sheet that concerned topics such as Newton's forces, force diagrams, kinematics, and projectile motion. Overall, she still needs to review tis material independently."

"Today's session with the student went really well. We spent our time working on sequences and series again, but this time, they were more complicated problems. We also started looking at the tests- integral, ratio, etc. He is doing really well, but he is having to develop his critical thinking skills with them. He had a great attitude, like always. All of the work that we did focused on developing his critical thinking skills. "

"The student said he felt like he had a decent understanding of related rates problems, and asked for more help working optimization problems. I walked him through some typical problems, and gave him a brief write-up of the method for solving them. I also demonstrated for him how a simple concept can turn into a very messy problem. I also talked to him about the known optimizations of the ratios of area to perimeter (circles) and volume to surface area (spheres); and showed him how the perimeter is the derivative of the area and the surface area the derivative of the volume. "

"We worked on a review of SPSS software, confidence intervals, the coefficient of determination, and regression lines. The student seems confident in these areas. The student has completed all of the components of his Final Project except for the comments. We will continue to work on this next session."
