"The student and I went over his homework assignment. He was recently introduced to tangents in his class, so we spent some time discussing how tangents work. Then we moved on to work with similar triangles a little bit and ended up hitting a checkpoint in his homework assignment that covered review material. We spent the remaining time discussing previous topics."

"I helped the student review for his upcoming exam. We covered genetic engineering, breeding, and gel electrophoresis. I also helped the student with his worksheet by assisting him in memorizing terms and concepts."

"For this session, we tackled Riemann and trapezoidal sums. First we went over what they looked like visually, and from there, I helped the student understand how to derive the formula for a Riemann sum using sigma notation."

"We covered basic organic chemistry concepts and reactions ahead of student's test on Tuesday. Some concepts had not yet been raised in class, but will be covered this week. Concepts covered included polymerization, identification of the polymer formed from subunits, identification of the basic repeating subunit in a polymer, identification of nucleophilic and electrophilic groups, Sn1 and Sn2 reactions, electrophilic additions, and electrophilic substitutions. The student grasped concepts quickly and well. She appears to be developing a firm understanding of the basic concepts of organic chemistry and seems likely perform well on her examination on Tuesday. We will go over more practice problems next time. "

"We spent most of our time doing problems relating to extrema - relative min and relative max and related rates. She scored well on her last test. We went over a trig function and a polynomial function. She was comfortable with the polynomial. We went over the unit circle and how to find equivalent angles. "

"We continued to work on and almost finished the math section in the SAT review book. The concepts we covered included trick questions, special right triangles, factoring quadratic equations, squares and square roots, slope, direct and inverse relationship, probability, distance between two points, geometry, exponential growth, combined ratio, word problems, average rate, and geometry. The student did very well on all problems. He is motivated and always has a positive attitude."

"At this session, the student and I again went over material for his quiz. He seemed to understand the topic pretty well. We did a few practice tests I found online, and I also asked him questions from his notes. I also found an interactive website that helped him practice protein synthesis. Overall, he answered all of the questions correctly, except for one part where he got one type of question wrong. To help him with this, I told him to pay special attention to this kind of problem and gave tips on how to solve it properly."

"Graphing linear equations was covered. Organization suggestions were also covered. The student did well with fractions. At the end of the session, she knew how to multiply and add fractions. I suggested that being clear and organized will help with solving problems."

"The student has another part of his midterm coming up, and he knows what types of problems will be on the test. We went through each question type a few times until he felt confident with each process. Having a clear idea of what he needed to know for the test increased his confidence with the material."

"The purpose of this session was to have a review on continuity of functions before the student's test on Tuesday. We started practicing some exercises from the calculus book on how to calculate limits based on continuity and types of continuity- removable, jump, and infinity. The student told me she understood everything and seemed to be more confident in solving these problems. Overall, the win from this session was that she had a better understanding of the concepts of continuity and problem solving."

"The session went very well and the student worked very hard throughout. We went over some of the homework from Chapter 11 and reworked problems that were difficult. We also finished creating a strategy for how to solve difficult problems."
