"This week the student and I worked to prepare him for his semester exams, which start next Tuesday. We focused first on chemistry and math on Thursday before spending our session today on math and essay writing (for both his history and language arts finals.) The student received another excellent score on his recent math test (98%) which is a solid indicator that he's prepared for his PreCalc test. He also received an improved grade on a chemistry test which he retook. Overall, I'm very confident in his preparation for math and history, while more work needs to be done in chemistry and language arts. He is working on his language arts final with his book talk partner this afternoon, so I'll have more guidance on how to help him prepare for that exam during our next session tomorrow. I'd like to take a moment to also acknowledge how impressed I am with Simon's work ethic and character. Over the past few months I've watched him put in the necessary effort to improve his grades, and it's paying off for him. He showed great discipline today by staying focused for a longer session, and I continue to be impressed by his work ethic during our sessions. We have one more hurtle to prepare for with his exams next week, and I believe he's going to do very well after continued preparation tomorrow and Tuesday. Good work!"

"I continued to work with the student on factoring, use of the quadratic formula, and introduced completing the square to solve quadratic equations. "

"We completed corrections from a practice AP style test. The student did very well on the test. We were able to work through the problems she had trouble with, and she understood most of them very well. She has another packet to complete for class, which we will work on tomorrow."

"We started by the student working on his math homework, which was on converting between U.S. Customary and the metric system. He completed 1 page, then he took a 1 minute break by competing in an online division challenge. Then he completed another page that involved more conversions, line plots, number lines, and fraction to decimal conversions. He's really great at doing it all in his head. I had him work on two more problems that I found that involved number plots and finding the "fair share" (or average) of the number plot. He has a math test tomorrow that he said he feels confident on. Before leaving, I told him he has to do at least 3 more division competitions on his own."

"The student will be taking his Chapter 8 exam on Monday, and today we continued reviewing material from that chapter. We have now gone over sections 8.1 through 8.5, which means we only have to cover 8.6 and 8.7 before his test. The chapter is about rational expressions, what the graphs look like, where they have asymptotes, and where there are no solutions or holes. He seems to understand the material. He had small gaps here and there, but we eliminated those by going through each section to find out what he didn't understand. Holes, for example, were difficult for him the first time around, but after talking about them for only a few minutes, he was able to see what they were and how to determine whether an expression contained a hole or not. I provided him with a simple list containing the things he has to memorize and how to apply the rules, and I also explained where the rules came from. I then had him explain to me in his own words the rule that I had just explained to him- which he was able to do. "

"The student requested that we focus on geometry questions, and so we spent a long time going through many geometry questions. Overall, she did well with these questions. We spent the remaining time reviewing our approach to all of the types of reading, math, and writing questions that we covered in our tutoring sessions. "

"We worked on an end unit assignment. The student was able to recall the significant information for each of the familiar problems. There were two problems which were inconsistent with the previous textbook and homework problems. One of these problems was about the use of Venn diagrams. It gave information about the different categories which was not exclusive while the previous problem used the same phrasing to mean exclusive. We were able to solve the problem but we had to spend some time talking about the difference in the two interpretations of the problem. The familiar interpretation would have produced the wrong answer. The second problem involved using absolute values and equations of inequalities. There had only been two such problems in his textbook so we had to take some extra time to work on this one as well. In the end, he did an excellent job on all the problems."

"The student had an assignment due on the substitution method and solving simultaneous equations. He didn't have much difficulty with it, but he needed to be taught, to an extent, as his teacher had not gone through it yet. The assignment was completed with little difficulty."

"The student and I went over a practice quiz for physics and test corrections for pre-calculus. He was very strong with his grasp of the physics, and I am not in the least concerned with that! He also did well on his precalculus test, and he identified his test mistakes easily."

"Tonight we spent most of our time reading for understanding. The student was assigned to read a chapter in her reading book and a section of the social studies text. For both of these assignments, I encouraged her to read it herself and picture what she was reading like a movie in her head. It took awhile for her to complete these readings, but she was able to answer all the questions about the text afterward and summarize the reading as well. She also completed two sections of her vocabulary workbook and reviewed her notes about lines, angles, and triangles for her upcoming math test. I was really proud of the work she accomplished this session."

"This session, we began by working on the student's Geometry review for her quiz tomorrow. It consisted of a lot of area formulas and methods to find arc lengths. She then worked on her homework for Algebra. The student had a fairly good grasp on the concepts. I recommended that she look more at her example problems and make sure she truly understood how to do each problem. "
