"I wrote a 32 item "worked problems" for him to use as a reference. We went over his last test. We worked through the problems he missed and then worked the more difficult problems on his worksheet. He has a test next Thursday so for homework he should complete the remainder of problems on the worksheet and we will review them the day before his test. "

"This week we worked some more on her introduction to the field of geometry. I'm impressed by her ability to visualize various shapes in 3D, and I'm confident she'll ace her geometry at the end of the marking period. "

"During our session, the student completed a review worksheet / homework assignment covering completing the square, finding roots and vertexes, and then graphing the equation using these pieces of information. The student did very well during our session. "

"In our session today, the student and I continued working on grammar. We focused on modal verbs such as would, could, and should. We also completed many exercises that tested her comprehension. She did a great job and really cares about learning. We also began reviewing her resume; I corrected any grammatical errors, but we are going to spend more time with it during our next lesson. I also gave her homework, which was to prepare something written teaching me how to do something that she knows how to do. I asked her to use the words that we focused on in our session. In this way, she will be able to think out how to use them properly; completing exercises like these will benefit her when she is speaking on her own."

"Today, we looked over the student's second test. The questions were quite complicated and required some side research to understand what the teacher was asking for. The problems consisted of multiple concepts at once or extrapolating concepts from the book in 2-d to 3-d. We will continue to go over the test at our next session."

"We reviewed curve sketching, critical points and limits. The student does very well with material that she has previously been exposed to. She typically knows all the steps for solving problems and is usually very direct in asking questions about things she is unsure of. She mentioned to me that she is sitting right around a 90% for the class, so hopefully, we'll be able to bump that up just a little bit! I think she continues to be one of my best students."

"The student and I had a very jam-packed session on random variables. We covered a lot about them, from the basics on up to transformations. We discussed topics like discrete vs. continuous variables, probability density functions (using the normal curve as an example), and transformations of random variables by a constant or another random variable. Additionally, we were able to get through almost all of her homework on this subject, and we briefly discussed the problems we didn't get to (which were very similar to examples and problems we had already worked). She said she felt much, much better about random variables (she'd started the session quite confused about the entire concept), which was really good to hear!"

"We covered ratios and proportions and worked on solving for the missing variable. The student understands the concepts and is preparing for her quiz this week. She got a majority of the review questions correct and should continue working on arithmetic. "

"The student and I had a great final session. We spent the session researching story submission guidelines for "Stone Soup," and drafting a query letter to the editor. We then attached the query letter to his story, "The Man in the Mirror," addressed an envelope to her, and got it ready to send. It's exciting that he is submitting a story for publication! We reviewed all the writing projects we've done over the past months, and pulled the "takeaway" out of each one. For instance, we learned about the importance of making a good plot outline for murder mystery stories, and the importance of achieving a "warm tone" and grammatical perfection for cover/ query letter writing. He is keeping this document as his 10 rules of writing. Overall, I enjoyed working with him very much. He's smart, imaginative, and fun to work with, and I think he's in for a very successful school year, college life, and career."

"The student will soon have a paper due on The Great Gatsby. Once we were settled in, he made a lot of progress and sorted out what exactly he needs to write. He was very prepared and knowledgeable about the subject matter and thesis of his paper. If he works on it throughout the week, we will be in very good shape to have a great paper by this coming Monday. "

"We covered vectors, parametric equations, triangular law of vectors, algebraic addition and subtraction, dot product of vectors, velocity vectors in kinematics of aircraft and resolving vectors into horizontal and vertical components. The student had a very positive attitude towards the material. This session was very satisfying for me as a tutor."
