"We worked today on approximately 30 practice problems for a standardized test that the student will be taking in May. She does not have many struggles -- if she does have one it is making problems a bit more difficult then need be. For many of the problems she knew exactly what to do, especially the ones involving the topics she has covered this year, like the algebra. She didn't seem to have as much knowledge of probability, so we worked on that -- to define probability most simply as "part over whole" and to multiply the probability of each event when calculating the likelihood of a string of events."

"The student has an exam on Thursday, and as a result we reviewed material on vectors, in particular parametric equations and vector operations. The material requires application of several formulas and conversion from one set of equations to another. The student did well on most of the topics with the exception of parametric lines. Tomorrow we will work on that and finish the remaining material."

"The student said that he was doing more inequalities, absolute values, and slopes. We then went back to systems of equations. He was doing much better setting up equations and doing the work. We also did some word problems, and he's improved with those as well. We also did a set of three equations/three unknowns. This was a challenge, but he was able to figure out how to approach the question. He was really putting in a solid effort. "

"We focused this lesson on making flashcards and practicing commonly used fractions with their decimal and percentage counterparts. We also practiced study skills, such as finding patterns to aid in memorization. The student and I played a matching game to help her practice the various fraction/decimal/percentage conversions. Finally, I also helped her prepare for her weekly vocabulary test. She performed well on both her math and vocabulary activities."

"We went over the fundamental theorem of calculus, and definition of antiderivatives. We reviewed the Riemann sum and its rules (upper and lower bound), as well as integrals (both definite and antiderivatives). He worked through several problems from his assignment list. He seemed to get the hang of it. He has been doing well on his exams, scoring 90+ on them."

"Our session started with me looking over the student's application essay one last time. I made a few corrections so that he can turn it in. After that, I had him work on his app while I looked at his prep book. After that, I had him practice his timing with the prep book's practice test. We then continued to work on grammar with the prep book and the app. It was a good session. At the end of the session, I left him with advice to do one more practice test over his break to prepare him for his test that he is taking within a month. He has been progressing well, and I'm proud of what he has accomplished since I started tutoring him."

"During this session we went over the student's homework. She was still having difficulty with negatives and fractions. We did extra practice problems for this. Overall this session went well."

"I helped the student work on a series of essays for a scholarship application. We finished a single-paragraph prompt, and I helped him use previous writing from his college application to develop a draft for one of the longer responses (the application seemed to encourage this kind of recycling). He did good work tonight."

"During this session we focused on reading comprehension, writing, spelling, and fourth grade math. We worked on activities in the student's geography book about her state, and answered questions in her field guide about the selections we read. We played a story-writing game where each player had to draw three of our past vocabulary words and use them to write long sentences. She was very creative and enthusiastic about the exercise and it encouraged her to write longer sentences with confidence. In math we focused on decimals and fractions and how to read numbers out loud in the proper order. We looked at key words in math questions and how to understand what they are asking from context clues. We read several pages in her American Girl chapter book and took several new vocabulary words. The homework was to complete a few math questions, write sentences from her vocabulary words, and read the story we wrote in class to her mom or dad. "

"The student had a chapter test to study for on the Pythagorean Theorem, SOHCAHTOA, and triangle ratios. We went over different examples of when to use each, as well as a basic review of radical simplification and rationalization. He remembered fairly quickly, and I encouraged him to use the methods that he felt most comfortable with (like Pythagorean Theorem vs 30-60-90)."

"Student A: We covered division topics and reviewed long division with one and two digit numbers. He began a level Z book on 3D printing and completed a main idea activity. Student B and I discussed synonyms and antonyms and worked on her spelling words. We read a level M book and she completed comprehension activities. "
