"In today's session we brushed up on point notation and the properties of a line. We also covered slope and slope-intercept form."

"Yesterday, the student and I worked on math and biology. He started the exponent unit so we reviewed all exponent properties and completed his homework together. He has a biology test coming up so we did some reading for that as well."

"Today we covered linear combinations. He mastered the material by the end of the session and only struggled with carrying signs over and minor mistakes in arithmetic. This math doesn't come particularly naturally to him, but he is motivated and learns from his mistakes. With the proper amount of practice he will do very well in this course"

"The student's mother told me that she got a 90 on the summer reading assignment! Today she worked on her homework. We started with science which is measurement. She had to give the different measurements that were marked on a ruler. We then worked on a social studies assignment which she had to use the book to find answers. She also worked on understanding a poem that her teacher sent home and said they would be working on the next day. She divided it into the different stanzas and then had to write in her own words what she thought the author meant in each stanza."

"The student had some success to report. He got a 98% on his unit test; he believes it is the highest grade in the class. Even the 2 points taken off were not because he had any wrong answers; he just had to simplify one step further. Now he has his confidence back, and I pointed out that he definitely belongs in this class at this advanced level. Tonight, we looked at his current homework and at the upcoming chapter. We worked through problems where we added and subtracted negative numbers. We then did a little English homework to round out the evening, and we will be back on Thursday for some more integers."

"Today, he student and I went over correlation and regression for her AP Statistics class. I think that some of the concepts she had difficulty with were differentiating r vs R square vs slope. We also talked about differentiating between explanatory and response variables when using regression, and we practiced identifying variables. We also talked about how to use the information given in the regression output, and I think it will make a lot more sense to her once they begin hypothesis testing in her class."

"The student had an excellent day. She remembered all of the chunks we've studied and the letters of the alphabet. We worked on a new chunk, -et. She made a list of words with it and wrote a story with several of the words, and read a story with lots of -et and -at words."

"I covered some algebra 2: graphing polynomial inequalities. The student needed a bit of help with graphing but he kept a positive attitude towards completing the tasks at hand. I implemented a system of taking notes then working the problems out together until we had a mutual understanding about how to solve the problems. He still had a few problems left to complete from our session. He showed me a homework assignment he was in the process of completing. He was doing well."

"The student was working with current, resistance, power, and resistors in series circuits (including topics of equivalent resistance and potential). She seemed to take to the topics very quickly and very well."

"I covered graphing quadratics and electrostatic physics. His attitude was fine. I showed him different ways to graph quadratics. The win is he was understanding how to solve the problems."

"Today's session was our final review before the student's final exam. She expressed confidence in most of the material we covered. I gave her some hints to prepare for the test, especially condensing her notes to a single study/look-up sheet. I also showed her how to retrieve helpful problems sets from online resources. Good luck!"
