"Today the student and I worked on a review sheet. I helped him with solving polynomials using FOIL and factoring it. We completed both review work sheets. Good productive session. "

"Tonight the student and I went over some of his natural log quiz that he got back. He says he improved over how he usually does, which is great! We continued to talk about volumes of revolution, and we kept practicing finding the radii, which he has gotten better at understanding how to do. We reached a problem with different curves that were a little bit more complex to understand (in terms of visualization), but we were able to explain it and he seemed to understand the approach. We'll continue talking about volume next time!"

"Together, we talked through work for each class, making sure that the student had plans to complete all makeup work, was clear on work assigned during his absence, and hadn't overlooked anything. In addition to the Spanish test, his remaining makeup work consisted of a mini essay for English and a History packet. He also needed to turn in his math binder for a binder check, which he had forgotten to do before the makeup test Monday. He added a reminder in his planner to turn in his math binder on Tuesday. He also emailed his Physics teacher for more details on material they covered in class last Thursday. We looked over grades together, focusing on History and English. These grades should both be higher after he completes makeup work from last week, but we also talked though a detailed plan to make a "final push" between now and the end of the school year in these classes especially, but also in Spanish and in Math. He made a detailed study schedule, including both assigned and makeup work for the next couple of days as well as additional nightly review for the AP History test next Thursday and extra studying for his physics test this Friday. He spent the last part of the session working on a Spanish assignment. "

"The student covered calculus homework (deriving quadratic equation), then completed a practice SAT in preparation for Saturday. Strategy and time management improvement are evident. "

"We first discussed scheduling. The goal is to have five weekly sessions until the student's test in November, each one focusing on a section of the test in depth. Today, we worked on the essay. We discussed a good format for him, made an outline, and discussed placement of body paragraphs. I asked him to write me an essay for our next session."

"We covered chain rule, partial fraction decomposition, improper integrals, differential equations that are first order linear and separable, and some of Simpson's rule and trapezoid rule. The student has an exam tomorrow and he wanted to freshen up on all of the material."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student and I studied vocabulary and practiced writing characters. We reviewed previous chapters to keep the material fresh in his head. We also previewed the next chapter, which seems like it will be easy to manage. "

"During this session the student and I went over some new material - specifically use of mathematical formulas to find speed, distance, and velocity of various objects. We also graphed the motion of these objects. At the start of the lesson we reviewed his missing work from the previous week. He'd turned most of it in, but a PSC1 quiz is still missing and I asked him to check with his teacher on that. A productive lesson."

"The student continued with review material. He had several math packets that we finished together (testing estimation, basic arithmetic skills, and providing word problems). He needs more practice on this material--not rushing, evaluating all information given in a problem, etc. I reviewed a Reading packet. He corrected one wrong answer just reviewing by himself; probably showing that he just needs to slow down while doing this work. We reviewed spelling words, which he had no problem with, and then went over one ELA packet--again, most of the errors (just a couple) he found and corrected himself. We finished the last 20 minutes with extra word problem practice from his text book and online worksheets. "

"The student and I reviewed for the final exam by going over some questions from the final review. Correlation, covariance, variance, and expected value computations were all covered in depth. We continued emphasizing the difference between parameters, estimators, and statistics. This is particularly important when calculating RMS of predictors. We did some algebraic solutions of variance problems, as well as some more straightforward probability problems. "

"The student and I worked through surface areas of prisms (either triangular, rectangular, or unusually shaped) and surface areas of cones and cylinders. I guided her, but she set up and did the calculations for all the problems. As a result of our doing this, she feels confident about using these formulas. That confidence will help her possibly do well on a "popper" (pop quiz) that she believes will happen tomorrow. My guidance in other sessions has been more extensive than it was today. She has learned a lot since we started working together, and so I'm not surprised that I don't have to help her as much these days. I am there if she gets in trouble, and we discussed general approaches to prism surface areas (ask her about the LAT approach) before we got started. I think, though, that her confidence is growing, which will help her improve her grade in the class time remaining. "
