"We covered the following concepts: equations with 2 variables, points, lines, graphs, and slopes. "

"We started with a review of his current worksheet, which involved finding the lateral and total areas of rectangular prisms and regular polygons. I showed him a shortcut to finding the total area of a rectangular prism, and he got that down right away. By the end, the student was able to easily establish the bases, and with the apothem, calculate the total and lateral areas. After I left, I realized how he might solve the triangle problem, so I called on the phone. He understood, and will try the problem again. I'm sure with a little practice, the student will be able to grasp the concepts better and improve his grade."

"We covered some basics on derivatives, including how to use the product rule and quotient rule properly. I noticed a small amount of confusion on some algebra, but we were be able to correct these in the session."

"Today, the student and I finished out the last two passages for the reading section of the practice test we have been working on. She did well, getting 7 right on the social sciences passage and 8 on the natural sciences section. Part of how we worked this section strategy is to spend the least amount of time on the section that is most daunting, to give her extra time on the sections she is good at so that she can get very high scores on those sections. This strategy worked well this time, so we will use it for the test. Coming up on our last week of tutoring before the test, she and I decided we will focus on math and science for our two 2-hour sessions next week, also spending a little time on reading. We think she is doing a lot better and are hopeful about these strategies in raising her score overall!"

"To the student's relief and my expectations, he earned an 86% on his latest calculus test, a great improvement for him. His mistakes were mostly mechanical; he "nailed" the theoretical questions. His confidence is much improved. During today's session, I supported him on his latest homework, which included: 1. properties of logarithms, 2. differentiating and integrating functions containing natural numbers and natural logarithms, and 3. paying careful attention to the restrictions when differentiating functions involving absolute values. I told him how proud of him I am but that he must continue studying a lot to ensure he will pass this class."

"Today was devoted entirely to math on the SSAT. We started by going over area of shapes and polygons and the equations, and then I gave the student some practice problems to go over. He did fairly well on those problems. I gave him a practice math exam. We agreed to practice more on percents and setting up mathematical equations from word problems. I told him to have his other tutor go over this with him today, and we would pick up from there at our next session."

"The student had struggled with a few math concepts so we figured out different ways to look at those kinds of problems. It eventually clicked for her and hopefully it will stick. We then worked on verbal skills, going over a practice test that she recently completed. She drew pictures to help her remember the meanings of words and we also worked on making bridge sentences for analogies."

"We covered the beginning of section 4, which is using the arc length formula as well as converting between radians and degrees. A few of the problems were much more difficult - please check up with your teacher to see if this level of difficulty is to be expected more often on tests or future homework assignments. Please also check with teacher to see if the upcoming final at the end of the school year covers material from this semester only, or both semesters. Please get a binder so that we may start organizing all notes and homework assignments once completed. Hopefully next section we will be able to go over the final exam in more detail."

"Tonight, I received great news regarding the student's most recent in-class essay assignment. We prepared for it a few weeks ago. He was only allowed to have a one-sided sparsely bullet-pointed note card in class. He received an A- and was very glad. His teacher encouraged him to continue writing without the planning sheets. I think he understands how to organize his information better. We researched more information from various sources on Greek trade, which is the subject of his oral group presentation. Secondly, he studied English vocabulary words for an upcoming test and did well with recalling the meanings. "

"We worked on two sheets of stoichiometry problems. In some cases we had to balance the chemical equations in some cases we did not have to balance them. In some cases we converted moles to moles and in some cases we converted grams to moles and then moles to moles and then moles to grams. "

"We began reviewing electric field, magnetic field, and wave direction diagrams. We reviewed problem sets concerning photon movement and the student's college application essays. On the essays, we made final revisions, adjusted the structure, and made sure to hit the proper word count."
