"Algebra (finding quadratic equations from roots and graphs; maxima) and chemistry (molar ratios in reactions)."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"During this session, the student and I reviewed previous algebra two work. We specifically focused on the law of sines and cosines, as he seemed to struggle with this during his previous exam. Additionally, we also reviewed biological systems and some Spanish vocab. "

"I began teaching him how to solve functions with negative numbers. I was thrilled with his enthusiasm and determination to learn."

"In this session the student and I went over a practice AP that she had taken, and discussed the problems that she had trouble with. "

"The student is taking the ACT next weekend, so we worked on a variety of things. We remained mostly focused on reading. We worked through a practice test as usual. I timed him on one of the sections, and we determined that he is costing himself time while deliberating about the questions. We talked about creating a mental "road map" of the paragraphs and then saving time by not having to flip back so many times. Then, he had a couple of math questions that we took care of very easily. Finally, we did a couple of science sections which were also not a huge challenge. I wish him the best on his test, and I'm sure he will do well. "

"We began by looking at the student's math homework, which was on sequences and series (both arithmetic & geometric). Using his formulas, he was able to solve every problem, including word problems. We then worked on a thesis statement he needed to write for his other class, comparing two texts. We discussed various texts and movies with which he was familiar, eventually settling on The Giver, and put the words into a thesis."

"During this session, we worked on a couple of the student's past due assignments. He worked well during the session, and we were able to complete a few things and submit them. "

"We began the session working on a handout dealing with distribution, but since the student already seemed very comfortable with this topic we quickly moved on to something else. Most of the session was spent working on online assignments he had for the course dealing with calculating the area and perimeter of rectangles and trapezoids and substituting into algebraic expressions. In the work related to geometry, we also discussed graphing points on the Cartesian coordinate plane. Overall, he was able to do the calculations for this work easily but needs to take some care in actually finding lengths and widths in a coordinate plane."

"I met with the student tonight and we began with figurative language practice for his quiz tomorrow. He actually finished his final draft of his weekly writing. The math we worked on was also a precursor to a quiz. We looked at 1 and 2 step process math. I explained about the process of figuring out "-5M= -75". I told him that first he has to figure out how many times 5 goes into 75. The answer of 15 pops out and now he had to figure out whether it would be a negative or a positive integer. He very correctly picked positive, thus making the answer of a negative. He finished with science homework that is due tomorrow. I finished by listening to him read for me for about 10 minutes. He has a new book and seemed to enjoy it. Overall good day."

"The student began a new unit on the circulatory system this week. We worked on her study guide to introduce the material. It's clear that the student finds this unit more engaging than the last unit. We will continue to reinforce these topics during our next session. "

"The student and I reviewed sine and cosine functions in order to give him a better understanding of the topic for his current project in the course. We mostly practiced word problems dealing with the area of acute and obtuse triangles. He seemed to already understand the topic pretty well, so I opted to show him more advanced uses of the functions that he will see next year. He was attentive during the lesson, which shows me he is dedicated to learning more about the material. "
