"Today's session was a continuation of yesterday's review of chapters 8-11, covering unit circle; general sine, cosine, and tangent formulas; trig identities; and simplification of trig equations."

"Today, the student practiced his unit 19 and 20 vocabulary words for his test on Monday. Then, he started Cry, the Beloved Country in language arts, so we went over chapters 1-3 and he answered study questions about the chapters. The student also practiced summarizing information by identifying the main points and being able to retell the main concepts of the information he read. "

"We work through the student's exam prep worksheets. Her test is scheduled for Wednesday. The material covers inversion functions, properties of logs and exponential functions, and compound growth. She needed help mostly with algebraic steps to rearrange equation to solve for the unknowns and converting from logb(x)=y to b^y=x. We worked through the steps showing the proper way to obtain the answers. She began to understand the material and steps towards the end of the session. She just needs to become more confident in her own abilities to help her overcome her anxiety."

"The student had a test on Tuesday. I asked him how he did on the test and he said he felt that he did well since he had enough time to check his work and correct his errors. His homework assignment for the evening was regarding trigonometric formulas (using half angle and double angle formulas to find trigonometric values). There were about ten multiple step problems, which he was able to complete by the end of the session. "

"The student and I reviewed annuities. She knew the formula for it, but needed help interpreting the variables involved and working through the indirect approach. We broke down every variable and made sure she could identify them. We spent the rest of the session practicing problems on annuities. "

"This afternoon, the student took an online quiz for his algebra course. The quiz covered multiple topics including finding the formula of a line given a specific point and the slope, graphing linear inequalities, using the vertical line test to determine if a set is a function, and solving equations using substitution. For most of the problems, he needed a little push getting started but then could finish the work on his own. We made a list of topics to cover for his midterm on Friday and I told him to use a particular website to review any topics he needs help with until I meet with him next. I also recommended asking his teacher for a midterm from a previous semester that we could possibly work on together to narrow down the topics and more quickly identify problem areas."

"The student worked on an outline for her latest history paper. She also heavily worked on a report that was due the next day in her English class. She organized the essay and wrote three paragraphs of facts, making sure the flow and thought organization was coherent. "

"We worked on reading and writing today. We focused on breaking bigger words into syllables and smaller words into sounds. We also practiced the second list of sight words I provided. The student is really good at looking at the beginning of the word and the end of the word, but sometimes he guesses in the middle so we worked on a few strategies for that today. We read a much more difficult poem than the last time we read together with 5 syllable words. His writing is coming along, and we are still working on spelling as we write."

"In this session, I helped the student prepare for his test on electric forces. We went through a review worksheet his teacher had provided, and went beyond. I gave him some extra example problems that were similar to, yet more difficult than, the problems his teacher had provided. This seemed very effective as he informed me that he got an A on his exam. I also went through concepts that his teacher did not bring up to help him have a more robust understanding. Even though he was learning about electric forces and not electric fields, I showed him how electric forces are created by electric fields, and we also discussed the difference between insulators and conductors and tips on electrical safety, something I feel very strongly every student learning about electricity should get at least a brief lesson on. I'm very pleased that his past two exams and his overall understanding and appreciation of the subject have improved dramatically in the short time we have been working together. "

"We worked on trigonometry type problems relating to chapter 12.2 from the textbook. I described my methods of problem solving and organization. I also showed him the free practice problems on the website. He showed a willingness to learn. "

"The student and I began reviewing for her final exam. There were a few errors that she made, and I highly encourage her to memorize the unit circle. I offered her a 3-2-1 and 1-2-3 strategy that I would advise she use to help her remember the unit circle. There were some areas of struggle that we will focus on next week in our tutoring session.
