"The student and I covered related rates. We review triangles, cones, cylinders, distance, and surface area. We did several problems from worksheets and some real AP calculus questions. The student has perfected differentiating by time and has greatly improved her critical thinking skills."

"Today, the student and I covered experimental vs. theoretical probability and went over many problems to make sure he understands the difference. We created our own example problems and used them to demonstrate how experimental probability can turn into theoretical probability when related to a larger sample size. We also reviewed combinations and permutations as he gets ready for his unit test next week. I encouraged the student to start creating his own problems so he sees the questions not just as numbers to calculate, but to encourage application in his daily life. Next session, we will be going over many practice problems so that he is comfortable with all the material."

"The student and I covered reading strategies this session. We used a cross-curriculum text on a current fourth grade topic. He is remembering his strategies and is able to pull out the main ideas easier, as well as some details. He is learning how to find the answers to comprehension questions within the text. His mother and I discussed focusing on his current math topics and making sure that he is understanding what he is learning in the classroom. "

"We reviewed stem changing verbs as a focus. We also revisited question words and responding to questions. We then did a little bit of vocab review from the list that the student had. We did exercises from a Spanish site, and I recommended that he use learning tool app to memorize what rules apply to what verbs."

"We discussed how to approached free response questions on the AP chemistry exam, specifically to the concepts involving comparisons of the ideal gas laws and how this relates to gases under "real" conditions. The student did a wonderful job with his calculations and seems to have a proclivity for numeric logic. We discussed his "fatal flaw" as jumping to the answer of the free response rather than allowing his reader to navigate his understanding of the basic concepts to arrive at a conclusion. One extra homework problem was assigned to allow him the opportunity to navigate a free response in such a way that builds to a conclusion rather than providing the conclusion and justifying it with evidence."

"In today's class we focused on the understanding of the differences between the "preterito" and "imperfecto" tenses, using reading, listening and speaking exercises. Additionally, we studied additional uses of the subjunctive."

"We started with some basic refreshers on parallelograms and other shapes. The student has a strong grasp on the material and the fundamental math behind it. The main issue I see is that he's struggled with double checking and making avoidable mistakes. The best thing to promote is the time allowed on these exams. They will give you enough time to do everything so just be sure to step back and take it one small calculation at a time."

"Today, we covered parametric and polar equations. The student had questions about some of the more difficult functions to change from parametric to rectangular, polar to rectangular, or rectangular to polar. We worked through these questions, figuring out which trig identities to utilize and which techniques to remember. We also went over classwork problems, homework problems, and extra problems from the textbook. All of the practice helped her to solidify her understanding of the questions and develop her own problem-solving strategies."

"The student picked a story out of his third-grade reading book. Upon his initial reading of the story, he read 88 words per minute. Because of this, I decided not to focus on his reading speed, but on his writing and spelling. The questions accompanying the story included vocabulary concepts such as homophones and homographs. After completing the questions, I read sentences from the story aloud and had him write the sentence to work on his penmanship as well as his spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. I often praise him for the things he does right and whenever he catches his own mistakes in order to raise his confidence and self esteem in regards to reading."

"We split the session between going over complicated problems from the new unit (simplifying rational radical expressions/ solving equations) and reviewing an older unit (quadratics). The student is doing well with the new concepts and making progress with the older ones, which we will continue to review."

"Geometry, Rational Numbers, Linear Expressions, Probability Positive attitude. The student feels confident for his math state assessment this week."
