"Today the student and I worked on position, force, acceleration, and gravity. We specifically studied Newton's Law of Gravitation, and the position formula (velocity and acceleration)."

"Today we started Chapter 2 and began the lesson by going over some of the student's writing for the exercises. His writing has really improved and most of the mistakes are minor. We then spent some time on phrases, specifically with different prepositions, and their meanings. I think this was very helpful as these are common phrases with a multitude of uses. We wrapped up the lesson by going over more of his writing for some of the exercises, and again he did a great job. The book seems to be very helpful in addressing different areas to work on through relevant exercises."

"Today we went over a reading assessment. My student did well with context clues but could use more support with identifying the main theme of passages. We then talked about the 5 paragraph essay. He had never written a 5 paragraph essay, so we discussed what that format is and then I walked him through the writing of a 5 paragraph essay complete with introductory paragraph, thesis, supporting sentences, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. He did a great job. "

"Both students finished the last two parts of a practice SSAT. They both scored in the mid to upper 600s on all parts of the exam. After we completed the SSAT verbal and quantitative portions, the boys answered interview questions pertaining to the school to which they are applying. Both boys were given flashcards to study between sessions before they take the SSAT."

"1. We covered separation of variables for ODEs as well as exponential growth models for bacteria. 2. The student did very well on the problems we covered today. Once he sees how something works, you don't have to tell him twice. 3. I tried to hammer home on the small conceptual struggles he has. 4. We finished one worksheet. 5. He has tests on Wednesday and Friday, so hopefully all goes well! 6. He is an incredibly smart student. It is fun to tutor him since he understands things so quickly."

"In today's session, the student and I worked on language arts. In our future weeks, we will study math on Tuesday and language arts on Thursday. The student completed a series of questions and activities that showed how well she was able to sequence events in a story. She completed 2 stories, improving her score on the second. She is a very fluent reader and needs additional support in grammar and writing. She worked diligently with only minimal redirection. It was a good start for this new subject area."

"The concepts I covered were: how to sketch the graph of a quadratic function and any transformations to it and how to determine the vertex, axis of symmetry, and y-intercept of a function in both standard and vertex forms. We also finished covering how to simplify expressions with "I" in them. I included general rules for transformations to quadratic functions as well as what information you can get from a function written in either the standard or vertex forms."

"The student had math homework involving Multiplying and Dividing Fractions. The heading on his worksheet was 'Cooking with Fractions.' He had to choose a recipe from a given website. the recipe had to meet specific requirements. After he chose his recipe, I guided him in setting up a table of 4 columns, listing the ingredients, how many servings, and converting the servings to 1, to do this he had to divide the measurements of the ingredients by the original amount of servings; and finally converting to serve his class of 11 students, he had to multiply the servings for 1 by the amount of students in his class. He had to show all his work on a separate piece of paper. He had a great attitude towards the material covered."

"In this session, we covered trigonometry basics and revisited logarithms and exponentials in preparation for a coming exam. The student's attitude was positive, definitely growing more confident. The skill of selecting trig functions for use based on which side lengths are available was introduced. His growing confidence and speed in working the problems is a definite win. He is also much more comfortable with e."

"We worked on rate-of-change problems involving the use of differentiation. We also covered relative and absolute extrema, Rolle's theorem, and the mean value theorem. We solved problems from the review for the student's upcoming test. "

"The student and I prepared for his upcoming geometry unit test on Friday. We worked through his review packet including practice problems. We reviewed writing out proofs dealing with parallelograms, solving equations of perpendicular and parallel lines, circle diameters and radii, distance formula, and midpoint formula applications. "
