"The student and I worked through his review packet for his final tomorrow. We covered almost the entire packet. We only had to really go over a couple of areas. He did a very good job! "

"During this session, we reviewed a homework packet that dealt with using various trigonometric identities to solve for the unknown angles and sides of triangles. The most basic problems involved finding the ratio of two sides of a triangle in order to find the value of a trig function. Further problems involved using the law of sines and the trig area formula. The most difficult questions required use of the law of cosines as well as the law of sines to solve a SAS triangle. The student has a good understanding of all of these concepts, although he needs a bit more practice with multipart questions. We will continue to practice them in future sessions."

"Today we covered exponential functions and their properties. Also, word problems involving exponential functions -- compound interest, population growth, and half-life of elements. The student is doing very well."

"Today was great. We continued to work on quadratic functions in different forms. The girls worked on finding the vertex and graphing quadratics in vertex, standard, and x-intercept forms. I must say I was impressed with their work and understanding of the concepts. They were also able to explain what they learned to other students. The girls do need a bit more work with integers though. I will continue to drill the rules and give them practice."

"Today the student and I completed part of her algebra midterm review packet. We reviewed topics including inequalities, absolute value equations, number line graphs, graphing linear functions, finding the slope, slope-intercept form, and simplifying algebraic expressions. She seems to recall the material quickly after doing one practice problem. She tends to make simple mistakes so I suggested taking the extra time to check her work after completing each one to avoid this. We planned to finish the packet during next week's session."

"During this session, I worked with the students. They are very enthusiastic with the homework, and they understand the concepts presented relatively well. We covered concepts including absolute and relative minimums and maximums. It seems that fractions are still presenting a little problem, but it seems like this can be fixed by just having the students work them out slowly. We also covered x and y intercepts, which they seemed to grasp easily. They are progressing pretty well and fast. "

"The student and I practiced essay writing for her upcoming test on To Kill a Mockingbird. We also discussed her obstacles with writing in general; she knows what she wants to say, but has trouble with sentence construction. We talked about drafts and editing as a possible solution. "

"We had a great session together! We worked on fractional exponents, radical equations, and imaginary numbers. She understands the concepts, but sometimes she tends to go too fast and make small mistakes. We did some timed practice, and we found that she has plenty of time left if she goes slowly and methodically. We talked about using that strategy on the next quiz."

"During this session, we covered scales; models; and similar figures, specifically triangles. We also did a little bit of work on indirect measurement. He seemed very committed to learning during this session. "

"We reviewed systems of equations. He's fairly proficient with solving by graphing and solving by substitution, though he struggled with when to apply which set of skills. It may be useful to have him work on problems that require switching between different tasks/strategies from problem to problem. It's important to know not just how to do a specific technique, but when to apply that technique instead of another. Practicing different tasks in a single session helps develop that mental flexibility. We also may want to do some review with negative numbers/graphing negative numbers as there were quite a few sign errors the tripped him up. Still, he kept a good attitude despite that. "

"We did the last review of the student's test, which included chemical nomenclature and oxidation numbers. He improved a lot. At the end of the session, we made a list of topics he needed to study on his own later at night. "
