"The student and I continued working through his college algebra study guide for his test the next day. We worked on transformations, piecewise functions, and absolute value functions. The student continued to study throughout the night after I left, and I'm proud of the work he accomplished. "

"Concepts we covered were past tense preterite vs imperfect verb conjugations, Spanish idioms, and vocabulary using dictation and fill in the blank. We also worked on pronunciation and accentuation. We worked through some handouts the student's professor gave her for test preparation and went over the concepts of time duration, background vs principal information, and agents of verbs. She had difficulty at the beginning with the vocabulary, but we were able to work these questions during our tutoring session using the above mentioned strategies and materials. I emailed her a handout that I compiled of useful free Spanish Study Tools. I also gave her a handout on accentuation rules of Spanish. I am confident she left the session more prepared for her upcoming Spanish Test. "

"We covered unit conversion, the force of gravity, terminal velocity, friction, and the relationship between acceleration and velocity (as well as a few other topics in less detail). I had the student explain concepts back to me to make sure that the concepts stuck."

"Today, the student and I worked on his most recent Economics problem set on maximizing profits. We looked at several examples using fixed costs and marginal costs. The majority of the problems consisted of finding marginal revenue from total revenue given a demand curve. He struggled a bit with taking derivatives to get from total to marginal in both revenue and cost, but we went over derivative power rules and the pattern for it. With a little practice, he should be able to use it for these types of problems. He has no issues with the general concepts involved, but the math is relatively foreign to him, so going over the reasons for some of the steps helps him conceptually."

"Today, the student and I worked on comparing decimals to determine which one of two was higher. We then delved into ratios, rates, and proportions."

"The student is working on simplifying expressions with square and cubed roots in class. He has already learned material very similar to this in class this year, and he is doing very well with the current material. He is able to answer the problems on his own, with only occasional minor errors. Because he is doing so well with the current material, we spend most of the lesson going back to material he learned earlier in the semester, such as simplifying complex expressions, absolute values, and inequalities because he will have a midterm at the end of the month. He knows the material much better now than he did a few months ago, and hopefully, this shows in his midterm grade."

"We started the session working on the student's paper based homework. Once I worked him through the first problem, I think he found it easier to complete. After the paper worksheet, we did his computer based homework, and he flew through that. Finally, we worked on understanding percentages. I used Legos to show the concepts of 10, 20, and 30%. I think it helped him visualize percentages and understand the material better."

"Half the time was spent working on math (word problems). I made another video at the student's request and posted it to website. The rest of the time was spent on reading passages and questions, which takes up considerable amount of time since even though he can mostly read on a 5th grade level, his reading is very slow. We will continue to work on that. "

"The student wanted some help preparing for an upcoming quiz on differentiation techniques. Primarily, we focused on implicit differentiation. I suggested some methods for splitting up functions. We also worked on inverse trig functions. Afterwards, she wanted some extra practice, so I left her with some practice problem sets."

"The student and I covered addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational functions. He wrote the steps to follow on how to solve these types of problems, and he said he would study them in order to finish a homework assignment that he had for the class."

"We covered how to add and subtract rational expressions based upon an LCD. We also learned how to find the LCD of a fraction and then perform the operation. The student fully understood the material. "
