"Today, the student and I prepared for the math test he has tomorrow. Our next session will focus on doing make up school assignments that the student has missed."

"We covered integration by parts and integration with trig substitution. I think the student picked up the concepts really quickly, and just needs to keep practicing more problems."

"Tonight we revisited the related rates topics in preparation for the student's Calculus final that's coming up in a couple of months. We started with some basic related rates concepts, such as setting up the rates of changes with respect to time (rates in the d/dt style). We covered topics such as the change of area and volume of different shapes with respect to time, and finding the associated formulas. He is understanding these topics, and has a really good grasp on setting up the formulas and choosing which rates to find. We dabbled a little in going into finding the changes of angles, using the definitions of sin, cos and tan. We finished our session with finding the rate of change for two people walking in different directions (at a given angle), and at two different walking speeds. We used law of cosine, which was a good refresher on that approach to triangle problems. We'll continue his final preparation on Wednesday!"

"The student began the session with word building and decoding. Today's focus was past tense and present tense verbs, the contraction (n't) and also possessive (s). He then read Barkitecture. We discussed author's purpose, genre, and writing summaries. "

"The student and I zoomed in on the challenge of working with higher order polynomials. We discussed how to get the polynomial when given a list of zeros, and how to go about finding the zeros if you are only given the polynomial."

"I helped the student with integration of graphs, volume and area in between curves. For the most part, he had a good understanding of the material and was able to do most of the homework. He just needed some clarification on some of the more complicated problems."

"We prepared the student for his upcoming test that dealt just with addition and subtraction with decimals, and then we moved on to multiplication and division. I'm confident that he will do well on his test. Out of all the problems we did, he got only one of them wrong and even then it was just a simple mistake that was corrected with ease. He should perform well on his exam. As for multiplication and division, he retained the information that we went over this month, though there was one rule that I had to remind him. Other than that, he did great!"

"We had an introductory conversation about the student's goals in which it was noted that his first concern was that he is retaking a vocabulary test on Monday. To that end, we focused on his vocabulary. He created flashcards and was given (and practiced with) a method by which to master the vocabulary until he had it fairly well mastered. We discussed varied ways to study efficiently and daily. I also interjected the rules for marking accents as we worked on his vocabulary. He showed good skill with word recognition from familiar words/ roots/ stems/ prefixes. This will serve him well in his language study as well as working toward those types of sections in the SAT."

"The student wanted to go over all of the previous concepts that were taught to him over the past few weeks. He was feeling shaky about the steps involved in various types of questions. As of right now, he needs to work on his time management. He is falling behind when trying to finish a whole section within the allocated time limit. Therefore, we went over a few special tactics to speed up his process. I feel that the biggest challenge for him is the time limit. This is a common issue that almost every student faces. The goal is to strategically find shortcuts on any question that might be thrown at the student. We plan to meet again tomorrow to further reinforce the steps that he has forgotten. "

"The student wrote ten sentences today, which was a big improvement. By getting him talking and using his imagination on things that he does not immediately know the answer to, he is able to articulate his thoughts more and create fuller sentences. "

"Today, the student and I worked through word problems from her weekly AP Calculus worksheets. These problems drew upon the concepts of the derivative and integral as they modeled velocity, acceleration, or distance, as well as the methods for computing average velocity and average acceleration. In addition, we worked through more abstract problems which required the student to differentiate implicitly, deduce a point from a given slope, and deduce a slope from a given point. She seemed to benefit greatly from my explanations of the full solution compared to simply being given the answer without one; she understood how to derive each solution after being told how I solved them. Next time, we will solve more word problems and I will be sure to provide more general strategies for approaching open-ended word problems in calculus. "
