"The student had some language arts "book reviews" to write. They were pretty formulaic, so we went through each and worked on expanding the details regarding why she would/would not recommend the book to someone."

"We covered the first and second laws of thermodynamics as well as the ideal gas law. The student had a list of homework problems that he was struggling with. I helped him understand how to implement the concepts we covered in order to solve the problems."

"The student has incredible enthusiasm and is always a pleasure to work with. She still talks fast and some ideas need to be repeated a few times to register, but our meetings are very productive. She has an exam this week and we will meet again on Sunday."

"We started the session with a quiz on fraction operations, which was a struggle for the student. We had to review the concepts of lowest common denominators as well as addition/ subtraction with negative numbers. I showed him the appropriate process and then had him use the calculator to verify the result. I think it helped refresh his memory of these key concepts. Then we did some additional problems on the material that was covered during this week's homework. He did much better on these topics compared to the quiz on the fraction operations. The one question he missed involved multiplication tables and the other involved reading the question thoroughly. I reminded him that he needs to read the questions, think about how to solve the problem, complete the problem, and then re-check his work. Finally, we spent some time discussing organizational skills."

"The student and I got a lot of work done today! We went through the spelling rules and phonograms, and then she completed list J-1 in cursive. For grammar, we completed all of Lesson 17-2, including classifying sentences and 2 topic sentence activities. In math, I introduced telling time on analog clocks. We began by laying out where the hour hand and numbers on the clock face are located. In science, she and I read pages 90-92 on comets and wrote two sentences about what she learned in her book. We had a very productive day today. "

"The student had science and social studies work to do. He is learning basic chemistry in science, so I extended it by discussing a little bit about the chemistry of life, and how carbon plays such an important role in biochemistry. We then worked together on an evidence based passage on the Salem witch trials. He could understand how mass hysteria could rise up from such an uncontrollable situation, and I helped him understand the economic impetus for the actions that took place in 1693."

"The student did an excellent job in this session, as we mainly worked on her AP preparation for the exam. We did some writing exercises and speaking as well. She then did some reading comprehension in Spanish and also answered questions. "

"The student and I reviewed for his upcoming chemistry exam. We discussed solubility, the difference between saturated versus unsaturated solution through a microscopic view (number of dissolved particles versus precipitated chunk of particles), the effect of heat, stirring time, and the amount of solvent on the dissolving capability of a solution. We also reviewed determination of molarity, the new molarity or volume after a dilution process, and the additional amount of water added during dilution. He understood the calculation steps. I emphasized careful reading of questions and attention to unit. "

"We covered sequences and series, specifically determining if a series converges or diverges, and finding the sums of geometric and telescoping series. The student was very professional and focused on the work we were doing, despite dealing with illness. We worked together to make sure he understood each step of the problem-solving process, and I offered some tips and clues to identify geometric and telescoping series. We'll probably continue working on sequences and series as the week goes on."

"We went over how to construct Lewis dot structures today. The student initially had a lot of difficulty counting electrons, but was able to improve and work through problems quicker. I suggested she to go back and redo the problems after the session."

"The student worked on his homework during most of the session. He was very engaged today and his organizational skills seem to continue to improve. After his homework was complete, we reinforced some past lectures from his text book"
