"Today we discussed analyzing data and distribution specifically looking at dot plots, and box and whisker plots. In these problems we looked at the symmetry of the set, the cluster areas, gaps, peaks, outliers, center, and spread of the data. For the symmetric data sets this included finding the mean and the mean absolute deviation. For the non-symmetric sets it included finding the median and the IQR of the data set."

"For this tutoring session we covered more on acid and bases. The student had worksheets that he needed to work on. He finished most of it while I was there. The student was definitely understood most of the concepts, he just needed more clarification on the subject. I made sure that the student understood the concept before we moved on. The student seems to be improving as each session goes by."

"This session, we went over a review sheet assigned by her teacher. This sheet included finding the domain and range of functions; transforming, composing, and inverting them; graphing functions; and expanding and condensing logarithms. The student struggled the most with finding domain and range of functions, their transformations, their compositions, and their inverses. It is really important for her to remember the domain and range of basic functions, like the square root and logarithm functions. She also expressed reservations about graphing functions, but it seemed that by the end of the session she was more comfortable with his: all she needs to remember is that graphing is a two-step process, involving 1) finding intercepts and 2) analyzing end behavior. I think the most helpful thing for her to do would be to create a study guide. She doesn't need to summarize her entire syllabus, but I think it would be helpful for her to note the following concepts: -Definitions of even & odd, including how to determine if a function is even or odd. -Domain and range of square root & logarithm functions. -How to reflect over the x- & y-axes, shift, and stretch a graph. -How the domain and range of a graph change when it is reflected, shifted, or stretched. -Logarithm rules. We also discussed probability (specifically, the multiplication and addition principles), but we only had a chance to touch on it briefly. She mentioned that her teacher did not cover this topic in class, so if she has any other questions, please let me know!"

"We looked over the student's schedule for next year and talked about strategies for processing and focus. We also worked through Spanish exercises (focusing on food vocabulary) and made flashcards for the words he had trouble remembering. "

"Today was our introductory session. We worked on data sufficiency questions. The student hasn't seen this stuff for many years so will need to relearn most of the math rules from the ground up. I gave him the link to online GMAT questions which I think will be very helpful to him. We were mostly looking at inequalities with exponents and he was starting to understand. We will review the progress he makes on his own next time and begin from there."

"We continued to work on the student's application essays for business school. The short essay and second longer essay were mostly complete. The first longer essay was not complete yet, but we made some progress there as well (some rephrasing, some thoughts on how to complete it). The student made good progress in including more of himself in the essays, which is what the colleges want to see! There are still opportunities for more of that, and more details, but they are shaping up nicely. "

"The student just took the test and scored at 90%. We made a plan to aim for 96%, so we started off with reviewing old materials and homework assistance. He worked on factoring of polynomials. Then we went to test corrections. He discovered that he made certain mistakes due to uncertainty between exponential properties for multiplying the powers with the same base and multiplying polynomials. Then we went on working with word problems. He is able to solve problems using problems-solving strategies, so I requested that he modeled algebraic expressions and equations from each problem we tried. He learned to solve some problems that involved more than one variable by using substitution."

"Since the student started division at school, I reviewed this with him today. He now understands that division is the opposite of multiplication. He was able to answer the problems I gave him using several different methods (adding the partisans, filling in the circles with dots, and counting in multiples of the dividend). We also went over sentence structures (present and past forms, normal form, and s form), adjectives, subjects, and paragraph comprehension. Additionally, we went over his science book in preparation for a quiz tomorrow."

"Today was great! We focused solely on Reading Comprehension sections. The student does pretty well at detail questions and global questions, but there is some difficulty shown in relation to inference questions. I offered him some tips and practice. Next session we will start a mock ISEE exam and see how he does in relation. Great job today!"

"We went over the student's test review sheet, which he excelled on, and the few parts he struggled with, we went over in more detail. He feels confident for his exam tomorrow and we will be meeting again this week to cover more material to prevent him from falling behind."

"We went through a practice test in preparation for the student's exam tomorrow. The problems were about circular motion, most of which the student breezed through. He seems to know enough of the material to do well on the test. "
