"We went over half of her review for her chemistry final. We covered subjects that include conversions, definitions, balancing equations, etc. The session went really well. "

"The student and I prepared for her upcoming test. We specifically worked on deciphering between quadratic, exponential and linear equations, and how to pick apart these types whether it be through a graph, table, or equation. She had a very good "sense" with these and picked up easily on patterns."

"We worked on some Conic Sections problems with specific attention to Parabolas and Ellipses. We went through all the details of graphing and equations of first Parabolas and the second Ellipses. She found Ellipses to be a little easier to understand. "

"The student and I reviewed some more online exercises, and I recommended some practice he could do independently to make sure he got caught up in time for his imminent exam. "

"The student is working on Chapter 2 now, which covers linear relationships. In class they've been working on tile problems, which helps visually demonstrate a linear relationship. I explained how they worked and showed her how to convert them to an equation. I also helped her with cube roots, and we practiced solving equations."

"This session, the student and I learned a new class of functions called logarithms. I introduced the class in the context of exponential functions because logarithms are the inverse of exponential functions. This fact allows one to see that we will use one to solve the other. I focused heavily on building his intuition regarding logs. I highlighted the fact that logarithms are essentially exponents. I had him memorize that logs, "are the exponents with which we raise the base to get the result." With this definition, we practiced determining log values without a calculator. I also introduced him to two special log bases, 10 and e. Starting from the exponential parent function form, we analyzed the function graph form for logs. We also did a few exercises where matching log equations with graphs was the goal. Lastly, we learned to solve basic log equations by transforming the log into exponential form and "matching exponents." "

"We went over random sampling and proper observation/experiment design. She just needed help understanding the definitions and methods involved in this unit. I showed her the concept of bias, SRS, and basic visual design. I showed her the do's and don'ts in context when it comes to avoiding skewed results. I showed her a couple of examples from her textbook so she could see what she learned being put to use. We ended the session reviewing AP questions to test what she learned."

"The student and I worked on two word problems using quadratic functions to model real-world situations. We discussed the vertex form of a quadratic function and the meaning of all the terms involved in it and how to solve for those terms given data. We are continuing with our general task of learning how to relate mathematics to life."

"They started working on trig integrals so we went over the methods for separating odd powers and using the half angle formulas. We re-worked the example problems from class to clarify any sticking points for her and made sure she understood the basic concepts. Overall, once we clarified things she did really well; she will just need to practice the technique to really get it down."

"We worked on the different parts of speech with emphasis on the definite and indefinite article. We also reviewed his reading and analysis of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." He is continuing to make significant progress."

"We continued reading Bloomability and compiled a list of key vocabulary words from the far right column of our reading comprehension chart. The student worked on defining each of the twelve words, and her homework was to illustrate four of the words. "
